Nissiros Express

Nissiros is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating attractions near the island of Kos. The one-hour boat trip to another world known from postcards is just the beginning!! After disembarking, you will travel by minibus to the crater, where you will feel the power of Mother Nature beneath your feet. A huge crater where the volcano constantly hisses, steams, emits smoke, and… smells of sulphur. Upon returning to Mandraki – the capital of Nissiros, free time awaits, during which you can visit the local monastery of the Virgin Mary, wander through narrow streets, stroll among white houses with colorful shutters, enjoy a delicious meal or homemade ice cream with various – unmatched flavors. At 15:30, the ship will weigh anchor in the port and you will return to Kos.
