Leaving Kardamena harbour located in the south of Kos behind you, head on a traditional boat towards 2 picturesque islands.
The first one, Agios Antonios, is set just across from Giali where pumice is extracted and can only be reached by boat. After docking, you may enjoy the beach and the clear shallow waters. There is also a small chapel on top of the hill that offers a nice panoramic view.
Nisyros is the second island and it’s famous for its active volcano. The boat arrives in Mandraki, the capital of this small island that has kept a typical Greek charm. Busses are ready to take the guests up to the caldera which, with its 4 km width, is one of the biggest in Europe. The lunar landscape is unusual. You can go down by foot into the crater and discover the volcanic activity from close by: yellow crystals created by the sulphurous steam, holes in the bottom and the unmistakable odor of sulphur.
After this unique experience, busses will bring you back to Mandraki in order to enjoy a stroll through its narrow streets. Explore the typical authentic Greek atmosphere and cuisine. A visit to the monastery of Agia Spyliani definitely worths it and you will for sure be amazed by the views that it offers.
