What you can expect

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful islands south of Kos Island.

The first stop is at Agios Antonios, where you can enjoy swimming in crystal-clear waters and a delicious BBQ on board. Relax, sunbathe, and take in the stunning surroundings before continuing the journey.

Afterwards, we head to Nisyros, a small island formed by a series of volcanic eruptions that began around 160,000 years ago. The center of the island is dominated by an impressive volcanic valley (caldera) with a diameter of approximately 4 km, making it one of the largest calderas in Europe.

The enormous crater within the caldera is truly fascinating. You will have the chance to descend into the crater and admire the striking yellow sulfur crystals, created by sulfuric steam escaping from vents in the ground — a unique and unforgettable experience.

After visiting the volcano, there will be one hour of free time in Mandraki, the island’s charming harbor village. You can stroll through its picturesque streets, visit the Monastery, enjoy a coffee, or do some shopping before returning to the boat for the trip back to Kardamena harbor.

Meal: Pork (chicken and vegetarian options available upon request).
