  • There's a guided tour of Nikia village, perched at the rim of the volcano so you can feel its heat
  • You can enjoy a coffee in Nikia's quiet streets full of traditional architecture and mosaics

  • Your local guide will tell you all about the Greek legend of how Poseidon created the island
What to expect

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.

    Great day and volcano visit was fantastic. Think it could have been shortened a bit in port when we arrived on island as we had to rush at end to get any food in our hotel. Guides were very good and loved the audio

    The overall experience was excellent and once our guide joined us he was really knowledgeable and funny. Unfortunately the guide was not there to meet us and instead on the Island so only saw him when we got there, whilst all other guides were met off the bus before the boat trip. We also had to be on the boat 45mins before we were due to set sail, so could have spent some time having a look through the location we were at before setting sail, a missed opportunity. Thereafter however great

    Was lovely walking through the picturesque streets of Nissyros. Just a pity it was a Tuesday as a few of the things we’d have visited were closed. Would have been good to know in advance as part of the booking, the travel and travel times involved. Guide we had was excellent and a credit (Manolis). Very knowledgeable and informative, as well as adding humour to the day. All in all a good day.
