Itinerary
Our daily tour to the island of Nisyros is best known for its volcano, we are offering to all the visitors the opportunity to walk in a potentially active volcanic crater.
The monastery of Panagia Spiliani is built at the top of a hill northwest of Mandraki. Around the monastery retained sections of the Paleokastro wall still exist, whereas the castle is protected by the «Castle of the Knights of Rhodes» built by the Knights of St. John in the early of 14th century. The biggest part of the monastery is built in a cave. The cave is divided into two churches. The north is dedicated to the Kimisi tis Theotokou (Assumption of Mary) and the south, Agios Charalambos (Saint Charalampos).
Nikia, this beautiful Nisyrian little mountain village is off the beaten track but seems quite lively and well kept. You will certainly need a car or a scooter to reach it but the detour is well worth it. The style is strictly traditional and being somewhat more secluded it is not as “touristy” as the seaside villages of the island. There are a couple of tavernas in the village of Nikia and you can eat and drink while enjoying the view of the sea. You can also admire the Caldera from different truly stunning viewpoints.

Ticket travel booked from Kardaminia. Good. Left to your own devices that suited us. Lovely island and an experience walking in the Volcano. Good shoes. Plenty of cafes. Timings perfect. Chose a calm day and take a mack.
