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 The no longer active volcano of Nisyros is worth a trip, as is the idyllic mountain village of Nikia, like Emporios as a village in proverbial slumber or like Pachia Ammos, the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.
Tilos
If you are looking for a quiet to unexciting vacation on Greece's islands, then Tilos is a first choice. The island northwest of Rhodes is a good 60 km² small. In the two island villages Livadia and Megalo Chorio live less than a thousand inhabitants. On island hikes you can explore the monastery of Agios Panteleimonas in the northwest or the church of Archangel Michael. Several hiking routes across the island are well and clearly marked. Tilos has been awarded the EuroNature prize for its efforts in migratory bird conservation in the late 2000s. For you as a nature-interested island tourist, there are many new and interesting things to discover. This includes a boat excursion around Tilos.
