List of Best Things to do in Nisyros, Greece
1. Nisyros Volcano
The volcano caldera is perhaps the most popular attraction for tourists in Nisyros. It is a wild and fascinating place, very hot and with intense colors, where the blue of the sky, the ochre of the rocks, and the strong smell of sulfur are the masters. There are not many places in the world where you can go down the caldera of an active volcano by car, walk in the crater, or feel the smell and power of the volcano that we think is asleep.
Suggested Tour: From Kos: Nisyros Island Volcano and Panagia Spiliani
2. Stefanos Crater The Volcano
The visit to the Stefanos crater of the Greek island of Nisyros is a unique and unrepeatable experience. The yellows, browns, whites, and ochres of the rocks, the smell of sulfur, and the warmth of the crater make the place surreal. It’s a unique feeling to be inside a volcano.
3. Prophet Elias Church
