What makes Nisyros so special is its interesting and unique geology, you can find one of the youngest volcanoes in Greece, which is still active! In Nisyros, one can visit the site of the volcano and walk around the hydrothermal craters, experiencing the magical geological forces that have shaped the island’s landscape.However, although the island is popular for its volcano, it is not the only reason we recommend visiting, as Nisyros is one of the most picturesque islands of the Dodecanese region. With a population of around 1000 and a mere diameter of 8km, Nisyros is one of the islands which remain very scenic and traditional, untouched by mass tourism.
