Nisyros with its impressive volcano is popular for excursions. But when the day-trippers have left, PaulOfHorsham enjoys wandering through narrow alleyways and sharing soumadas with the locals
Recent tips about Nisyros
There are many day-trips to the volcano. Most will collect you from the quayside for a run to the crater and straight back again.
If you want to see the quiet villages of Nikia or Emborio on the crater rim as well (and the view from Nikia in particular is terrific), you may need to make a few enquiries - there are a few guides who go a bit further, but not many!
Alternatively, there is a limited bus service into the interior.
Probably the most amazing of the Greek active volcanos (others include Santorini, Methana, Milos). The island of Nisyros is located south of Kos and is accessible with ferry and hydrofoil.
