On the volcanic island Nisyros<\/strong> In contrast to the popular neighboring island of Kos, it is rather tranquil. If you stay overnight on Nisyros, you will find peace and relaxation far away from the tourist hustle and bustle. You won’t find large hotel complexes on the island, but numerous traditional accommodations and family-run guesthouses await visitors.<\/p>\n

\"Nisyros

The island has only four places, in each of which you will find accommodation for almost every holiday budget. In this article, we will introduce you to Nisyros Hotels<\/strong>, pretty apartments and beautiful holiday homes on the island:<\/p>\n

This is where most of the accommodation is located, including the only classic Nisyros hotels.<\/p>\n

\"Mandraki

Although Mandraki is traffic-calmed, there is a lot of activity in summer. During the day, many day tourists from Kos make a pilgrimage through the narrow streets. In the evening it is quieter, but some caf\u00e9 bars on the waterfront are open until late at night. If you are looking for accommodation in a lively picturesque village, you will find it here.<\/p>\n

Pali: hotels, studios, holiday homes<\/h2>\n

Pali is the youngest village on the island, it was founded at the end of the 19th century as a port for Emporios. Even today, the gleaming white coastal town is of great importance to the island, as it is home to the marina of Nisyros<\/strong>. From April to November, several sailboats anchor daily in the small wind-protected harbor.<\/p>\n

\"Pali

How many days on the island of Nisyros?<\/h2>\n

We recommend a stay of at least three days on Nisyros<\/strong>. If you’re looking for a special destination off the beaten track, then the volcanic island of Nisyros is for you. The small Greek island offers an incomparable mix of nature, culture and relaxation without having to sacrifice tourist comfort.<\/p>\n

The highlight of Nisyros is undoubtedly the active volcano with the impressive Stefanos crater. A descent into the crater is an unforgettable experience, considering that there are not many volcanoes in the world where this is possible. As you descend, steam rises from crevices in the earth and bubbles out of holes in the ground below, you feel how close you are to Mother Nature.<\/p>\n

\"Vulkan
Volcanic landscape of Nisyros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is no shortage of relaxation either: in the island’s thermal springs (including Loutra) you can bathe in warm, mineral-rich water and recharge your batteries. Centuries-old hiking trails lead past terraced fields and untouched nature, exploring the island has something meditative and brings you a bit to yourself.<\/p>\n

The hospitality of the locals completes the experience. We have been to Nisyros over 10 times and have made many friends. If you spend three or four days here, you will feel that the island is a special place. Pack your travel bag, suitcase or backpack and let yourself be enchanted by this unique volcanic island!<\/p>\n

More travel tips for Nisyros<\/h2>\n

Although Nisyros is visited by a good 1,000 people every day from May to October, day tourists from Kos<\/strong>, the island is nevertheless spared from mass tourism. At 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. respectively, all excursion boats leave the island. However, Nisyros offers enough places worth seeing that are worth a stay of at least 3-5 days.<\/p>\n
