Nisyros
The almost 50 km² large island of Nisyros is located south of Kos, not far from the Turkish mainland. Typical for Greek villages are also here the whitewashed houses with their colorful shutters. The narrow streets and alleys invite you to stroll and linger. An eye-catcher are the numerous floor mosaics, also called Hohlakia or Chochlakia. The no longer active volcano of Nisyros is worth a trip, as is the idyllic mountain village of Nikia, like Emporios as a village in proverbial slumber or like Pachia Ammos, the most beautiful beach of Nisyros.
The ferry port on the island of Nisyros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Rhodes, Tilos, Chalki, Fournoi, Symi, Ikaria, Kastelorizo, Lipsi, Patmos, Kalymnos, Kos and Astypalea, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland. A total of 14 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways and Hellenic Seaways.
Kalymnos
If you are an ambitious sport climber, then the island of Kalymnos, which covers an abundant 100 km², is an almost ideal destination in the Aegean Sea. The village of Massouri in the west of the island is the tourist center. From here you can go to the climbing hotspots. Kalymnos is the island name, and the island capital of the same name is alternatively called Pothia. The trip here takes half an hour by ferry from Kos. Historical sights are the castle of Chora or the white rock monastery in the village of Panormos in the west of the island. On Kalymnos you can enjoy a sunny vacation all year round - for example in the bathing paradise at Vlichadia Beach or at the beach of Palionisos.
