A great experience from start to finish, can be a bit of a long day but thoroughly enjoyable, good comfortable shoes required
Really enjoyable day out. The volcano and the Monastery in the 'Capital' of the island were both lovely to visit. Nice short boat trip out of 50 minutes. Guide was friendly and well organised.
Fantastic day out, "Little Santorini" far exceeded my expectations. What a stunning place. Our guide for the day, Manoli, was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Had gyros at a beach side restaurant, lovely food and view. Not wanting to put pictures or too much info as it would spoil the "ahhh" moment. Would totally recommend.
