What to expect
Join us on a fabulous boat trip to the island of Nisyros! We start from the harbour in Kardamena and reach our destination after an hour on the high seas. Although Nisyros is one of the smallest islands in the Dodecanese archipelago, it has a lot to offer with its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Once on the island, you can choose the optional volcano tour, which includes a bus ride to the highest point for a panoramic view and a visit to the active crater. If you prefer not to take the tour, you can explore the monastery of Panagia Spillani or the town of Mandraki.

This was our first time booking the "Boat Tour to Nisyros from Kardamena" with Checkjeti and the "Shark Boat," and everything worked out very well.

Like every year – simple and perfect! We were able to take the bike with us again and then cycled to Nikia and around the caldera. It was great!

Perfect day. We even lost our cell phone on the bus that took us to the volcano, and the organizers recovered it without any problems. The only flaw...the audio guide on the bus couldn't be heard...the acoustics were terrible, but the day was enjoyable and the visit times were perfect.
