Itinerary
If there's one must-visit while you're in Kos, it's the volcanic island of Nisyros. Greek legend says it was created from a stone thrown by the god Poseidon. And it's a scenic gem of an hour-long trip that takes you there. Visit Mandraki, Nikia, the Stefanos crater and more.
Once you've docked in the harbour of Mandraki, the island's capital, you'll head to the old village of Nikia on the edge of the Stefanos crater. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of cobbled stoned lanes or find a spot near the crater's edge, where you can feel the heat.
Afterwards, head back to Mandraki. Sugar-cubed houses stretch across this amphitheatre-shaped town, which is in the shadow of a medieval castle and the cliff-side monastery of Panagia Spiliani. There'll also be time to admire the town's balconied houses or have dinner in a taverna before returning to Kos.

Beautiful island,but too many cars everywhere,too many small bykes and motorbykes making so much noise all the day and night ! Seek for hotel far from center if you want to be able to sleep at night,otherwise go to another island,small if possible !Also if you want to cross the street,you must run fast or there is a chance to be hit by a car or motorcycle,they run fast all day !
It is absolutely interesting for the visit of the volcano even if it is not always pleasant (scorching sun, be careful to take sunglasses absolutely, smell of sulphur ...) but it is just amazing to walk on this land and see this desert side!! The visit of the island ok but without more , the boat clean, not always very pleasant at the personal level of the boat , the guides great though. The meal was done at 11am too early and I was quite disappointed because we stopped certainly on a small deserted beach but with as decor facing us quarry, truck, boat for the export of what they dig ... Not very nice to take good time! I actually thought it was a joke ....but no! Then we ignore and I will keep the memory of walking in the crater of a volcano! Book directly in the city and not at the hotel...40% cheaper!!
