A volcanic rumble?..........
Everyone has heard of Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius in Italy and the majority of people know that Santorini was created by a huge volcanic eruption.
However, it is Nissyros that most people will not have heard of. The two large volcanic craters at the centre of the island are still active (although the last eruption was in 1888 so you are safe!) and the volcanic soil makes the island much greener than its nearby neighbours.
You can go and walk on the crater floor and the sounds that you hear are said to be the groans of a giant defeated in battle by Poseidon.
Luckily, we don’t think you will be groaning much as it is one of those islands which is still untouched by tourism.
Mandraki is the capital and harbour of the island and has the majority of facilities as well. The narrow, pebbled streets and squares are lined with houses made from the local volcanic rock and are insulated with pumice stone.
Nightlife is not intense on Nisyros but with some tavernas, cafes and bars surely you will have a good time.
Please be aware that due to ferry timings, a stay overnight in Kos may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them. The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times. |
Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
