Many visitors to Santorini stick to the main island and never make it to the impressive volcano jutting out from across the caldera - but a much greater number of in-the-know visitors make the journey during peak season, meaning that seats on cruises often sell out weeks or months ahead of time. There are no water taxis or ferries to the volcano, either, so a tour is really the only way to visit. Don’t miss out on your chance to sail into the caldera, walk along the volcano ridge, and learn all about the volcano’s history and geology.
