What to expect

If there's one must-visit while you're in Kos, it's the volcanic island of Nisyros. Greek legend says it was created from a stone thrown by the god Poseidon. And it's a scenic gem of an hour-long trip that takes you there. Visit Mandraki, Nikia, the Stefanos crater and more.

Once you've docked in the harbour of Mandraki, the island's capital, you'll head to the old village of Nikia on the edge of the Stefanos crater. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of cobbled stoned lanes or find a spot near the crater's edge, where you can feel the heat.

Afterwards, head back to Mandraki. Sugar-cubed houses stretch across this amphitheatre-shaped town, which is in the shadow of a medieval castle and the cliff-side monastery of Panagia Spiliani.

    Overall, the day was interesting and a fun experience. Our tour guide was fantastic (Manolis) - without him we would have given a lower score overall. This was our first trip, it was confusing when were dropped off in Kardamena - unclear where we were supposed to go, how the headsets worked etc. (this was much better handled on the exclusive Kos trip). The time in Nisyros was good, but felt a bit long compared to the rest of the trip. Overall enjoyed it, but wouldn't rush to book again.

    Really enjoyed the opportunity to visit the island ny boat. It was a great experience. There was a nice atmosphere. The guide kept us entertained but not really sure there was enough to actually experience on the trip, but I think you maximised what was available.

    Great day and volcano visit was fantastic. Think it could have been shortened a bit in port when we arrived on island as we had to rush at end to get any food in our hotel. Guides were very good and loved the audio
