Nisiros is a small island located in 40 min by ferry from Kos. It has a round shape with ancient volcano in the center. I’ve seen Teide and Vesuvio and have to say that this volcano is very strange. It’s not rising above but going down. And it’s still alive! If you walk on a crater you can feel warmth from ground and there are boiling volcanic mud. Landscape is really lunar.
Port town Mandraki is very nice, spectacular. There is a very important Christian monastery with the miracle-working icon and castle.
Generally Mandraki is beautiful place, climbing up to the hill where a forest starts.
I like very much such narrow side streets, secret stairs, open doors to somebody else’s yards.
And here there are a lot of cats of different colors. Many of them look like wild.
