This was a great trip, and Marta an excellent guide. Mandraki was a charming town. A good lunch at Vegos and an awesome afternoon visiting the crater of the volcano…an incredible experience. Would recommend this day trip.

Full description

Depart from the port of Kardamena in Kos and take a 1-hour cruise to the volcanic island of Nisyros. Upon arrival, transfer to a waiting bus that’ll take you on a short drive to the volcano. Listen to an informative guide along the way.
Get information about the volcano and the history of the island. Then, feel the force of the lava rumbling deep beneath your feet as you enter the volcanic crater. See the bubbling mud pools and steam geysers, and imagine that you have landed on the moon.
Return to the port and get the chance to wander around the town of Mandraki. After a short walk through the narrow streets of blue and white painted houses, visit the monastery of Panagia Spiliani, considered one of the most beautiful monasteries of the Greek Islands.
Make your way back to town for some free time for lunch (own expense) or do some shopping before boarding the boat back to Kos at 4:00 PM.

Fantastic, Martha was friendly and clear with the next steps and where to go. Our group ended up having the free time around the town first before going to the volcano. You get a couple of hours to have some food, visit the monastery and do some shopping. At the volcano, it’s about 5-10 min walk to the crater and it’s best to wear trainers. There is a good viewpoint at the top. There is somewhere to buy drinks and at a seated area in the shade. The driver collected us 10 mins early so be there early. It was a bit overwhelming at first as multiple buses all meet to get the boat and then you get given different cards to split into groups on the island. It seemed a bit chaotic at first but it’s organised, so listen out for your group. The same when you get the boat back to Kardamena as all groups walk over to the meeting point together and they call out your hotel. We were back at out hotel for 5pm. A great day trip when visiting Kos!
