Kos
Every trip on this list crosses from Kos to Nisyros, an island that is still a live volcano. You walk down inside the Stefanos crater, where the ground hisses and smells of sulphur; the last eruptions came in the 1880s. Most boats leave from Kardamena and take about an hour.
Discover Nisyros' volcanic crater and charming Mandraki on a full-day tour from Kos. Enjoy stunning landscapes, a historic monastery, and flexible free time.
