Why you’ll love this…

It's a full day of adventure as you cruise to the volcanic island of Nisyros and check out its crater

You can enjoy a coffee in Nikia's quiet streets full of traditional architecture and mosaics
You'll visit Mandraki, the capital of the island, complete with Medieval castle and monastery
Your local guide will tell you all about the Greek legend of how Poseidon created the island

What to expect

If there's one must-visit while you're in Kos, it's the volcanic island of Nisyros. Greek legend says it was created from a stone thrown by the god Poseidon. And it's a scenic gem of an hour-long trip that takes you there. Visit Mandraki, Nikia, the Stefanos crater and more.

Once you've docked in the harbour of Mandraki, the island's capital, you'll head to the old village of Nikia on the edge of the Stefanos crater. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of cobbled stoned lanes or find a spot near the crater's edge, where you can feel the heat.

Afterwards, head back to Mandraki. Sugar-cubed houses stretch across this amphitheatre-shaped town, which is in the shadow of a medieval castle and the cliff-side monastery of Panagia Spiliani.

Volcano was good. Boat was uncomfortable and dragged out with visits which made it a very long 11hrs trip.

Wine and lunch platter at Ktima Akrani vineyard in Kos

Nothing compares to sitting in a sun-drenched vineyard, sipping a glass of the latest harvest – and you'll do just that on this visit to the warm and welcoming Ktima Akrani winery. While away a couple of hours here as you tuck into a light lunch with views out over the Aegean from the terrace. Over 30 years ago, the owners began planting vines in the foothills of Mount Dikaios, driven by an ambition to leave a legacy of sustainable wine-making that preserves rare Greek varieties for future generations to enjoy. You'll choose a glass of chilled wine from three of the house labels, so there's something to suit every taste. Your cold cut platter is full of local goodies, like salami, prosciutto, and a variety of cheeses paired with fruit preserves. With tasty bites, very quaffable wines, a friendly host and sea views, it's a recipe for a vintage afternoon.
