Methana Volcano

Short walk over lava rock to the top of the volcano near Kaimeni Chora, with views across the Saronic Gulf.

The volcano near Kaimeni Chora erupted in the third century BC; Strabo, Ovid and Pausanias described the eruption.

From the car park by the village, a rocky, signposted path takes you to the top in about half an hour. At the summit you can climb down into a small volcanic shaft. Bring sturdy shoes and water, and in summer go early in the day.

From Vathi you can walk to the volcano.
