Take in stunning views of the caldera as you glide through the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea.

Cruise towards the Red Beach and White or Mesa Pigadia beaches and swim at the warm volcanic springs where parts of the water are warmer due to the volcanic activity that exists for centuries on the island.
