About this experience
Starting the tour from the marina of Vlychada, our first stop will be the volcanic Red Beach where for half an hour you will enjoy swimming and snorkelling. The tour continues with a sightseeing of the White Beach where we will see the unique change of colours on the rocky part, while travelling towards the Black Mountain, where we will stop for half an hour for a swim and explore under the blue waters of the area. Next hot spot of our tour is the Nea Kameni where we will stop for half an hour to enjoy a unique experience of swimming in the volcanic waters. The picture is completed with the uniqueness of Hot Springs sightseeing where the colours alternate in a unparallel way.
After this exceptional experience of the Volcano our destination is the island of Thirassia where we will stay for an hour and a half to enjoy our lunch or dinner.
After the meal, there is a 2-hour sightseeing tour following the route from Ammoudi to Armeni, Epta Paides to Skaros and the Old Port.
