NEA KAMENI

Nea Kameni is a tiny island in the center of the rugged volcanic crater in Santorini. It features a dramatic landscape with dark cliffs made out of lava rock and orange-tinged natural thermal waters. The gorgeous scenery and natural hot springs are some of the highlights that make the place a popular tourist destination from where you can take day cruises from Santorini.

Nea Kameni is among the many Santorini places to visit and is referred to as the youngest land in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The locals refer to the island as the volcano because the formation of the island began no earlier than 450 years ago.

The sheer abundance of natural features on this island is a reason why tourists love to visit it. You can get a helicopter tour of the island but it will not land there so you will get only an aerial view of the spot.
