We took a boat from the port in Santorini out to the island of Nea Kameni, the active volcano that rose up inside the caldera about 500 years ago. Once there, we were free to explore the island on our own.

Here we climb the path that leads around the edge of the crater of the Nea Kameni volcano. The towns of Thira and Firastephanie can be seen in the background.

Firastephanie on the left and Thira on the right are visible from the volcanic island of Nea Kameni.
