"Nea Kameni island, in the middle of the flooded caldera, is one of the most violent volcanoes on the planet; it is also, of course, one of the contested sites for the lost city of Atlantis. The eruption that destroyed most of Santorini 3,600 years ago produced tsunamis that reached as far as Turkey and probably wiped out maritime Minoan civilisation. The new craters that appeared in the following centuries are currently snoozing, although they are under constant surveillance by scientists at Fira's volcanology institute. Tour the volcano by boat, or go for a walk around the crater to see it up close."

"A volcanic island that emerged after centuries of eruptions caused it’s formation. The last eruption was recorded in 1950. Once at the island you can walk around the volcano, and for a 2.5 Euro fee, you can be guided through with a local who will enlighten you on the history of the volcano."

"11 AM - We did an excursion to the hot springs and Nea Kameni volcano. Don't wear a nice bathing suit because it can get stained from the sulfur. The volcano was just a bunch of rocks, but still a cool place to visit "
