Today, we cruise to the island of Nisyros. We spent the day here.

Visitors can admire from close the impressive craters, the largest of which has a diameter of 260m and a depth of 30m. Apart from the volcano it has many archaeological sites and monuments. It is worth visiting the Castle, the monastery of Panagia Spiliani, the various Chapels, museums, and ancient ruins in Argos.
