General: Tiny island with smily people

Nisyros is an island not familiar to most tourists. It is a small island located in Dodecanese. Its incomparable beauty is based on volcanic upheavals. Mandraki, the capital of the island, distinguishes for its picturesque white washed houses, the flat roofs and the colorful stones. Especially the view from the Castle was amazing! I was surprised by the unspoilt beauty of Nisyros in the morning and come back in the evening. It is a small island but loveable, with cute white houses and nice people. I was surprised that so few gift...

It is amazing how small islands can depict such a vivid summer view! I didn't like Kos much and I had regreted to rent a room in Kardamena (so noisy at night that you get headaches all day!). So, right before I book ferry tickets to go to Rhodes, I saw a leaflet about Nisyros, an island I hadn't heard before (when I saw on the map how small it is I understood why), so I though maybe I should gi...

We visited Nisyros two summers ago. After we spend ten days in Rhodes, we went to Nisyros for three days before we come back to Athens. The island's top was of course the Voclano that is still active today. We had a motorbike and could make the round of Nisyros. Most roads were track, so a car would be unconvenient anyway. The villages were very picturesque, I best liked Nikia and Mandraki. Fro...

General: Do not wake up the beast

If you are in Kos, it is a pity not to take the boat and go to Nisyros, only one hour away. This is the most popular way to get there, because actual ferries on the island are rather rare. Nisyros is a wild beauty! I had never heard of it, although I am visiting Greece every summer for the past seven years. I felt by chance on a sigh about boats to Nisyros while I was in Kardamena, Kos, so I sa...

General: An exciting experience

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!...
