Nisyros is a small but fascinating island in the Dodecanese, known for its active volcano and unique lunar landscapes. Unlike other Greek islands, Nisyros offers visitors the rare opportunity to walk inside the crater of an active volcano, Stefanos, which still emits steam and sulfuric gases.
Aside from its geological wonders, Nisyros boasts charming villages like Mandraki, with whitewashed houses and narrow alleyways, and the hilltop village of Nikia, which offers breathtaking views of the volcano and the sea. The island remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, making it a perfect escape for those seeking both adventure and tranquility.
