I went to Nisyros while visiting some friends in Kos with my husband. I took the ferry from Kardamena, it was easy because the routes are very often during summer. Nisyros was quite a surprise for me. It is a peaceful island, but the sense of the semi-active volcano is spread around the whole place. I could't believe I really walked over the crater. It is very impressive, for sure a must visit! It is one of the most exciting experiences you can get on Nisyros, since it is not the place with a strong nightlife. We also enjoyed swimming at the beach of Lies and Mandraki village, the capital, with the typical, but still beautiful white houses.
