On the Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and finally “the harmony between material and spirit” the monument that “puts order in the mind” the Parthenon. Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis Museum.

The caldera offers the most dramatic sea views you’ve ever seen and enormous cliffs are dotted with dreamy Cycladic whitewashed houses! Evening free at Leisure to explore Santorini.
Day 8
| Santorini
Breakfast and then start the tour by bus from the pick-up point, we arrive at the port of Athinios and board the King Thiras boat. We will sail close to the old port of Fira and make our first stop on the volcanic island of Nea Kameni. Walking up the soil path, we will approach the crater of the still-active volcano. The trip continues to the second volcanic island named Palea Kameni. King Thiras's boat makes a stop approximately 50 meters from the Hot Springs so you can dive in the green sulfur waters or simply relax and enjoy the view. After the Hot Springs, we will sail to Thirasia Island which was part of Santorini before the big explosion of the volcano. We will stay in Thirasia for two hours having the chance to go swimming, have lunch next to the sea or explore the village of Manolas with its winding steps and traditional houses. Leaving Thirasia Island, King Thiras will take us to the port of Oia. We will walk up the steps to the most famous place in the world for its amazing sunset. The tour ends 30 minutes after the sunset. We will gather at the pickup point in Oia where the bus will be waiting to take you back to the point you started the excursion.
