Itinerary
Our daily tour to the island of Nisyros is best known for its volcano, we are offering to all the visitors the opportunity to walk in a potentially active volcanic crater.
The monastery of Panagia Spiliani is built at the top of a hill northwest of Mandraki. Around the monastery retained sections of the Paleokastro wall still exist, whereas the castle is protected by the «Castle of the Knights of Rhodes» built by the Knights of St. John in the early of 14th century. The biggest part of the monastery is built in a cave. The cave is divided into two churches. The north is dedicated to the Kimisi tis Theotokou (Assumption of Mary) and the south, Agios Charalambos (Saint Charalampos).
Nikia, this beautiful Nisyrian little mountain village is off the beaten track but seems quite lively and well kept. You will certainly need a car or a scooter to reach it but the detour is well worth it. The style is strictly traditional and being somewhat more secluded it is not as “touristy” as the seaside villages of the island. There are a couple of tavernas in the village of Nikia and you can eat and drink while enjoying the view of the sea. You can also admire the Caldera from different truly stunning viewpoints.

About Kos
Kos is a Greek island in the Dodecanese close to the Turkish coast, with ancient ruins, sandy beaches and a knights' castle at the harbour.
Kos lies close to the Turkish coast, with Kos Town on its north shore, where a castle of the Knights of St John guards the harbour and palms line the waterfront. The town is also a living archaeological site, with Roman mosaics, the ancient agora and a restored Roman house. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, is said to have been born on the island, and a huge old plane tree in town is named after him.
