NISYROS

A Short boat and coach journey from Kos this Island is worth a visit. An Island or contrasts. Only around 30 sq. miles. Exceptionally green. Few beaches and white houses that stand out against the black volcanic rock and a huge volcano right in the middle. It is a strange experience taking the  coach to the  rim  of the volcano, riding along the large fertile plain to arrive at  the rim of the the still  bubbling crater. When you visit be sure to have thick  soled shoes as you can walk across the hot crust that is still sending  out plumes of  steam and depositing sulphur around the blow holes.
