It is geographically located between Tilos and Kos and belongs to the complex of Dodecanese. Most beaches of Nisyros are located on the northern side, which is the best developed. On the southern side of Nisyros, there is Drakospilia, a beautiful and isolated cave.
The geography of Nisyros is characterized by its amazing volcanic features. The most famous geographical feature of Nisyros is the volcano, strongly connected to the history of the island.
