Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Volcano & Hot Springs boat tour in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Museum of Prehistoric Thera alone was worth the trip, but combined with Perissa black sand beach this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
