Fantastic a calm 50 minute boat ride in late October. To the stunning volcanic island, beautiful houses, lovely food, cats everywhere. Volcano was great but can imagine tricky when v hot was only 24c when we there. A great day trip for my wife and I, even kept our 15 year old son happy, really good guides who gave us the right amount of information.

The excursion was very interesting, it's crazy to find yourself in the crater of a volcano, it's a unique opportunity. The guide was very good and in addition to the volcano she gave us a quick tour of the city where we landed. Very good experience Nisyros is a very pretty island, very typical.

The trip was very interesting, but the tour guide was not our personal favorite. He repeated too much. There was plenty of time in the crater, which was good. The stay in Mandraki was also nice and sufficient. Perfect trip!

you have to do the trip. we were on Kos for 12 days and did 4 boat trips... all great. price-performance ratio always OK. just sitting around on the beach is boring. the trips made the holiday perfect 👍

Very interesting trip. It was a lot of travelling and a long day but worth it. Our guide Martha was very good.
