Santorini in two days: cruise the caldera, swim in sulfur springs, visit villages and Akrotiri, taste wine, and watch Oia sunset.

“Took the two day bus/ boat package. The 1st day was the guided bus tour. Pick up at 10am & the whole day was a nice experience. The guide was knowledgable & very helpful. Finished the day late after the sunset at Oia and then drop off at our hotel. The next day was the volcano cruise. Pick up was earlier in the morning 8:50. First stop was at Nea Kameni with a trek to the volcano top. This was really interesting. After this the boat took us to Palea Kameni where we had the chance to swim in the the hot springs. The boat dropped you about 30 metres…”
