1 hour
Nisyros Volcano

The volcano on the island of Nisyros is the youngest one in Greece. It is an active volcano as are the ones at Methana, on Milos Island and on Santorini Island. Most of Nisyros is mountainous, volcanic and very fertile. The island is composed of volcanic rock formations that were formed by previous volcanic activity. The various rock formations (e.g. basalt) have been used as construction material in various buildings such as the Palaiokastro and the bell tower of the Church of Agios Ioannis Theologos located near Nikia. The island has been formed by lava. The rocks are covered by pyroclastic deposits and volcanic mud. Two possible eruptions occurred several millennia ago, estimated around 25,000 years back. The largest crater of the volcano, named Polivotis, has a diameter of 260m and 30m depth. There are another 5 younger craters in the region, the largest of which is Stefanos with a diameter of 30m and a 30m depth. The valley that surrounds the volcano is 2,400m long and 950m wide.

30 minutes
Mandraki

Arriving back into the port of Nisyros you have the opportunity to visit the town of Mandraki. After a short walk through the narrow streets of blue and white painted houses, you have time for lunch (not included) or some shopping or even visit the famous monastery Panagia Spiliani before embarking the boat at 4:00pm for your return to Kos.

Lovely island

Published on Nov, 2024

What a lovely day we had at the island of Nisyros. From pick up to drop off it was a fantastic day. Really well organised. Boat over to the island was great we stopped at the volcano for just over 30 minutes which was more than enough. Then we had a good few hours in the town we didn’t stay with the guide we just did are own thing. It’s a stunning place with fantastic views.

It was lovely visiting Nisyros but a long time in Capital City, with not a lot to see, most people felt the same, but guide and organisation was faultless.

Brilliant

Published on Oct, 2024

It's a long day day but very well organised and the guide (Martha) was very friendly and very knowledgeable. Just relax into it - you're on holiday - nowhere else to be and nobody to see.

Amazing
