Nea Kameni is a small Greek island with an active volcano. The uninhabited island can be visited by boat for tours, hiking, swimming, and snorkeling or diving.
The island’s last major eruption happened in 1950. Today, the volcano is closely monitored, and the island is a protected scientific site. Nonetheless, visitors may hike to the peak of the crater and make a full loop of the rim at 130 meters high.
Sailboat tours to the island normally stop at the neighboring Palea Kameni Island where hot springs are formed by sulfuric vents from the active volcanoes. Swimming spots nearby experience water of up to 95 degrees in some places.
