The main town, Mandraki, has white houses, narrow streets, and cute little squares. You can relax at a café, taste local dishes like pitaridia pasta or chickpea balls, and enjoy fresh seafood by the sea. The view of the sunset from the monastery of Panagia Spiliani above the town is truly special.
For swimming, head to quiet beaches with dark volcanic sand and clear blue water. Hidden spots like tiny coves and hot springs by the sea are perfect if you like peaceful places away from big crowds.
You can hike along old paths, visit traditional villages like Nikia and Emporios, and look down at the huge crater from above. Nisyros is great for a short trip, but it also works well as a base if you want to explore nearby Islands and other beautiful places in the Dodecanese.
