\"Nisyros_1\"<\/a> Map Position and Morphology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nisyros is located in the South East Aegean territory, in the middle of Dodecanese complex.
\nThe largest part of the island is mostly mountainous areas, compiled from volcanic fossils and large rock formations, created by old volcanic eruptions, which formed numerous craters along the island.
\nNisyros\u2019 volcano is the youngest active volcano in the area of Greece.
\nNisyros\u2019 geologic and tectonic structure benefits the presence of underground hot water springs that are utilized for healing purposes(thermal springs).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mythology \u2013 History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nisyros was formed during the Giants\u2019 Century, when Poseidon, the God of the Seas and Oceans, took responsibility to kill Polyvotis, that defeated and pursued by Poseidon, is crossing the Aegean Sea to find a shelter.
\nSomewhere near Kos, Poseidon reached him, detached a small part from the island of Kos, threw it against him, and crushed him. And that\u2019s how Nisyros was formed.<\/p>\n

The Daily Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n

The one-day visitor that reaches the island, mostly from Kos, arrives at the island by 10.30 in the morning and returns by 15.30 in the afternoon, does not have the required time needed to enjoy all of the island\u2019s beauties, landcapes and sights.
\nBut by renting a car the possibilities are limitless, and everyone has the ability to enjoy their vacations to its fullest. We advise that type of visitors to begin their island tour from the Volcanic Museum of Nikies, which is the farthest destination. Returning to the mainland, they can explore the volcano\u2019s caldera and live the experience of an active volcano in its craters. The next destination is Emporios, a traditional small village of Nisyros, where you will have the ability to see and use the natural sauna and witness the majestic and panoramic view from the volcano. Reaching the seaside village of Palloi, you can discover Thermiani, the Christian Temple with the hot springs. Our next destination is Palaiokastro, whis is one of the bast saved ancient Greek Forts. Our last and closest destination to the mainland is Mandraki, Nisyros\u2019 capital, where you can explore the graphic, tiny backstreets and the Temple of Panagia Spiliani.
\nFor the visitors planning to spend the night in the island, we suggest visiting the volcano during the morning hours, enjoy the sunset from Palaiokastro village, relax in the thermal springs, and swim in the island\u2019s finest beach, Pachia Ammos, but also visit our pebble-full beach, Chochlakous, and alongside taste the traditional recipes and dishes of Nisyros.<\/p>\n
