In a nutshell
Wonderful day trip destination
Mandraki - the capital of the island
nelinka Says: Your first steps on the island of Nisyros will most likely be in the harbour of Mandraki. Following the path straight on from the harbour, you'll find seaside taverns and cafes, souvenir shops, Artin's photo gallery, a small volcanic beach, further on the Archeological...
nelinka Says: In the central part of Nisyros you can find the caldera and the major crater Stafanos. There are 20 craters on the island out of which 10 can be well seen and bear names. The Stefanos crater has a diameter of 330 m and is cca 27 m deep. It´s not difficult to get there as in...
sandysmith Says: fishing village
sandysmith Says: T/F
sandysmith Says: T/F
sandysmith Says: As we got off the ferry we headed down the harbour road towards a bus stand to buy tickets for the bus that makes the trip up to the volcano. Be prepared for the sulphurous smells, it stinks!The bus trip allows about 50 mins there - enough time to take a walk down into the...
nickandchris Says: This was the best beach on the island, about 3 miles east of Mandraki. Not quite sand, tiny white stones intermingled with fragments of black.We manged to negotiate a ride on Panyoti's bus as far as the beach and I spent a couple of hours here while Nick left earlier. Good...
nickandchris Says: On our way down from the volcano, Stavros took us for lunch at a taverna he was known in in Pali. We hopped off the bus at the turn-off (the bus had decided not to go into Pali today!!) and walked down to the village.There really wasn't much there in those early days of...
nickandchris Says: Mandraki, the chief place on Nissyros and the port, is a pretty place, larger than you first think. It's quite strung out and the narrow old streets wind their way unhurriedly into the centre. Along the coast road are a few eateries and drinkeries with pleasant sea views....
Panorama / Fabbrica: Best and worst restaurant in Nisyros
Tula&Chris Says: Panorama restaurant is located about 100 m before the town square. Very authentic and delicious food. (Doesnt offer muc fish but then Greek cuisine is more than fish.) Good view and nice staff.Recommended: goat, chorta, pasticcio.Fabbrica is located at the entraqnce to the...
Nissyros Taverna: Lively Locals....
nickandchris Says: A simply wonderful experience, this is the oldest established eaterie on Nissyros. Father sits on a high stool at the charcoal grill, tending the meat, mother is in the kitchen and son and daughter-in-law do everything.(It must be different now as father was getting on a bit...
Babel and Mira Mare: Dancing all night long
vago1 Says: Babel and Mira Mare are the only two nightclubs of the island. They are open till morning and people dance and have fun all night.
nickandchris Says: Obviously the only way to get to Nisyros is by boat. In 1985 the good old Panormitis was THE ferry that chugged back and forth, calling at many of the Dodecanese islands.This is how we arrived from Symi, calling at Tilos enroute. I think there was another ferry, also,that...
nickandchris Says: Yes, there was just the one bus and I expect still is, on Nissyros. It to-ed and fro-ed up to the villages on the island and on days when the trip boats came in it became a tour bus to the volcano crater. The driver was a real character. On the day we took the bus to Emborio...
nelinka Says: Inside the crater there are fumaroles or vents out of which hot steams are coming up. Be careful when approaching them as they are really hot (the temperature is about 100 'C).
nelinka Says: Due to the higher concentration of sulphur fumes inside the Stepanos crater it is not recommended to people with respiratory system difficulties and cardiac patients as well as to pregnant women to descend into the bottom of the crater. You can still enjoy the views of the...
vago1 Says: Swimming suits, light cloths and sandals.
vago1 Says: You should definetely go to the yali isle. You can go fishing or just swimming to the beutiful beach.
nickandchris Says: The friendliness of the islanders on Nisyros will remain with me forever. Nowhere in Greece have we encountered quite so much filoxenia and we were overwhelmed by their generosity.Whenever we were walking anywhere, a vehicle would stop and offer us a lift. When we were in...
Elenitsa Says: Just wandering around the backstreets of Mandraki before the day gets too hot....

I only visited Nissiros for a few days from Tilos. Mandraki the main town - is beautiful A visit to the volcano is worthwhile, although for me the ride up on the bus was the best bit!!

Nisyros (40 km²) lies south of Kos and is the one of these tiny islands I liked most. It does only have about 1,000 inhabitants and, as a result, there are only 4 villages. Unfortunately I don't...
