★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,429 reviews · 8 hours · from $37

Sail from Kardamena to Nisyros, ride by bus to the volcanic crater, then explore Mandraki and Panagia Spiliani. English and German guides, often led by Martha, keep the day organized while leaving free time for lunch, shopping, and the monastery. Expect heat, sulfur smells, uneven paths, and a €5 volcano entrance fee.

“Fantastic, Martha was friendly and clear with the next steps and where to go. Our group ended up having the free time around the town first before going to the volcano. You get a couple of hours to have some food, visit the monastery and do some shopping. At the volcano, it’s about 5-10 min walk to the crater and it’s best to wear trainers. There is a good viewpoint at the top. There is somewhere to buy drinks and at a seated area in the shade. The driver collected us 10 mins early so be there early. It was a bit overwhelming at first as multiple buses all meet…”

“No guide, but the trip was sold as “independent” so we hadn’t expected one. Arrived at the port around 8.30, collected our tickets, went straight through passport checks and onto the ferry. Ferry departed at 9 and arrived in Bodrum around 9.30. Again passport control was pretty quick, probably around 10 minutes. We had free time in bodrum until 2.45 when we were meant to go back to the port to go through passport control from the boat back at 3.45. This was perfect for us, we saw some sites, wondered around and had lunch. Again passport control on the way back was quick. I heard some complaining that we…”
