8The Volcano of Nisyros

Nisyros is a lesser-known gem in the Dodecanese, famous for its active volcano. Visitors can walk into the crater of the volcano and see the steam rising from the ground, giving a glimpse into the Earth’s powerful forces.

The volcanic landscape is surreal, with its barren, otherworldly terrain contrasting with the lush greenery of the island’s hills.

Why it’s a highlight: The chance to walk inside an active volcanic crater makes Nisyros a unique and thrilling experience.
