Today after breakfast, you will check out from your hotel in Athens and transferred to Piraeus port for your ferry embarkation to Mykonos Island. Mykonos sits amidst the Aegean Sea like a unique Jewell handcrafted by time, the Greek sun and an anonymous local craftsman. All that can be said or written about Mykonos would be just too little. For centuries Mykonos existed under the shade of the religious centre of Delos and it had to wait until the 20th century to reach its international status and win a place on the world tourist map. Mykonos, famously called 'the island of the winds' due to the constant wind that blows, is the most popular and cosmopolitan island of the Cyclades and considered as one the most famous islands of the world. The sunlight of Mykonos from its first sunshine of dawn all the way to its last of the sunset is astonishing and supplements an atmosphere of images that seem to have sprung out of a painting. Arrival in Mykonos and transfer to your hotel. Rest of the day is free in order to explore the island.

Breakfast at the hotel. The tour starts at 09:20. Pick up from designated meeting points (usually 3-20' walking distance). Pick up/drop off for hotels in Oia is not included.
It takes you to the port of Athinios, you will board the boat and start our trip with the destination the Volcano, a distance of about 15-20 minutes. Your stay there is for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
To walk up to the volcano to meet the active craters is about 20 minutes through a walkable path. It is worth reaching the top because when you arrive there, if you scratch the surface you will see steam coming out, smell the sulfur and also to take pictures. After the visit of Nea Kameni, the boat continues to the island of Palaia Kameni where the Hot Springs are located. The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos,it lowers down a ladder in the water and from there you can swim a distance of about 20 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni for which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is 30-35 degrees but it constantly mixes with seawater.
The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It's quite a time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while.
In continuation of the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. You have 2 hours free time to swim in the crystal waters of Korfos or eating in traditional taverns with different dishes of the island. You can go on foot or by donkeys in the village of Manolas, which is very picturesque with narrow streets and nice view to Santorini and worth a visit.
After the 2 hour pleasant break on the island of Thirassia,we start to return back to the port sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia to take pictures of the unique landscape . When we arrive in the port of Athinios there will be our bus waiting for you to get you to the village of Oia where you will have free time to walk through the narrow streets, take pictures of the mesmerizing scenery and watch the famous sunset.
Right after the sunset our bus will be waiting for you to return you back to the starting point , where it also ends.
