No hot springs
Brandy_R, October 2026
The crew was great. The cruise was disappointing as it was advertised that we were going to the caldera hot springs where we would be in the muddy hot water. We never got anywhere near any hot springs.
Response from the operator · Santorini Yacht... C Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our crew. We would like to clarify that the Hot Springs are included in our scheduled itinerary. The swimming stop takes place in the volcanic waters near the caldera, where underwater volcanic activity can influence the water temperature. However, as this area is connected to the open sea, temperatures are affected by sea currents and natural conditions and may not feel as warm as expected. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad our crew made a positive impression.
