South of Kos and facing Kardamena is the island of Nisyros, a brooding and from a distance a mysterious presence in the sea in the Dodecanese islands, between Kos and Tilos. It is basically a volcanic caldera 8 miles in diameter about 8 miles seawards south of Kos. It is a quiet place, far from the well trod tourist path, which is meant to fascinate and charm visitors with its strong colourful character, the dark brown of its volcanic earth, the white of its houses and the deep blue of its sea. Close by is the other volcanic island of Giali under the flight path to Kos Airport which looks like it has been bisected as it is mined for pumice. There are no large towns on Nisyros but rather a collection of villages by the coast and on the crest of the caldera (Emboria and Nikkia) joined by the one road.

It is an island I had long wanted to visit but had been put off by the reports of the “Volcano bus tour” which meets you at the harbour, then brings you to the “volcano” and back to the harbour. I wanted to see the real Nisyros so I arranged with Sevi in Lauzimis Tours (who operate boats and hydrofoils between the islands) to book a taxi to show us around Nisyros. There are only two taxi drivers listed on the island so she suggested Irene as she.

So, it came to pass on the appointed day we found ourselves waiting on the quayside of Kos Harbour for the boat to Nisyros. Only the boat had broken down so after some confusion we found ourselves on MV Petros, a 40 year old hydrofoil on the way to Nisyros.
