Ön Thirassia ligger väster om Santorini, tvärs över kalderan på andra sidan Nea Kameni. Vissa färjor går till Thirassias hamnar i Riva och Korfos från Athinios på Santorinis centrala västkust och från Ammoudi på dess norra spets. Eftersom färjetider är opålitliga kommer de flesta besökare med utflyktsbåt och seglar via Nea Kameni längs vägen.
Thirassia is a small island off the west coast of Santorini, across the caldera on the other side of Nea Kameni hot springs. Take a ferry from Santo on Santorini to Thirassia’s port Riva. Travel time is approximately 15 minutes. Schedules are unpredictable; the safest bet is to go on a pre-arranged tour.
The islands of Thirassia and Santorini are beautiful year-round with both enjoying a summer peak season from June through August. Come in the spring and fall shoulder months to avoid the crowds, while the weather is still quite warm.
Located between Santorini and Thirassia, Nea Kameni is a small volcanic island in Santori’s flooded caldera. Formed less than 500 years ago, the island is the youngest volcanic landform in the Eastern Mediterranean. Hike up to the crater and take a dip at the hot springs while soaking up incredible Aegean views.
