Santorini is a superb paradise in the central south end of the Cyclades in Greece. One is excited by the alluring view of the Caldera and the stretch of cliffs anchored in the Aegean Sea. One of the reasons why Santorini is frequented by thousands of tourists every year is because everyone wants a sneak peak of the active volcano crater, also known as the Caldera. You are lucky as we are going to talk about the Caldera tours today. Spoiler alert: Volcano tours include the boat trip from the old port of Fira. Also, what we have here are some of the most affordable tours you can ever avail! Hop on our boat and lets go see the Caldera in Santorini, Greece!
From a simple volcano trip to a fun and thrilling Caldera tour with a sailing boat, travel deals are much affordable if will be joining a group tour instead of designing your own trip. Why? Youll be able to cut travel expenses. So, here are the best Caldera travel deals in Santorini!

Volcano Trip Duration: 2 hours

If you want to go for a rugged adventure yet you only have a limited time of stay in Santorini, we suggest that you go on a short volcano trip. From Fira, you will need to take a 10-minute boat ride to get to Nea Kameni where the hike to the crater begins. Basically, most of your time will be allotted for hiking (where youll witness the smoking hot craters). Following the trail up to the mouth of the active volcano will take about 20 to 30 minutes. Then, you can appreciate the breathtaking view of Santorini from afar.

This tour starts at 18.

Volcano + Hot Springs Duration: 3 hours

Next on the list, we will be stopping by three destinations. Again, from Fira, you will have to take a 10-minute boat ride to Erinia, the small volcano bay. From Erinia, the group will be given at least an hour to hike up to the craters to watch the volcano and the scene from here. Then, the tour will proceed to the next stop which is Palea Kameni Island. Palea Kameni is a popular hot spring destination along with the bay of Agios Nikolaos. These two hot springs will give the gang a nice healthy bath.

The starting price of availing the volcano and hot springs tour would only be around 20.

Caldera Tour with Sailing Boat Duration: 6 hours

A total Caldera package starting at 26 is the best deal we can recommend. This special tour lets you travel to five destinations in less than a day! The jump-off site is still Fira, then a traditional boat will take you to the island where the active volcano is. After enjoying the view of the crater, your tour will proceed to Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni where you can splurge into a nice warm bath. Next destination is Agios Nikolaos bay where the crystal clear water can be found! At last, the final awesome destination is in Thirassia where the boat will be docked until late afternoon. From here, you can swim, scuba dive, or kickstart a gastronomic tour of the little island.
