Save

In the Dodecanese Archipelago, you will find a very attractive island of volcanic origin, Nyssiros, that has become a frequent target of tourists from the nearby islands of Kos and Rhodes. This unique island surrounded by rocky coast and stretching on the surface of 41,6 km², with about 950 permanent inhabitants, is famous not only for the non-alcoholic beverage with almond taste, Soumada, but it is well-known mainly for the Stefanos crater and the impressive caldera in the capital of Mandraki.

Although tourism is not fully developed here, during the whole summer season, the capital of Mandraki is frequently visited by tourists from all over the world, admiring the beauty of the caldera with the monastery of Panagias Spilianis with bated breath, with the monastery forming a contrast with dark blue (and often quite wild) sea, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.

Pluli jsme lodí z Kosu, my s místní agenturou, ale někteří turisté na vlastní pěst (např.i se skútrem - sami pak projeli ostrov). U vstupu do kráteru jsem byla mile překvapena - akceptovali zde kartu ITIC (sleva). Hodně zde foukalo a nezbytné byly brýle na očích, prach a písek bodal do kůže, výhodou v tu chvíli byla pokrývka hlavy a dobré boty(sestupuje se dolů do kráteru - což je rozlehlá pláň s vyvěrajícím horkým vzduchem a sírou). Na ostrově výborné taverny s místními dobrotami.
