Nisyros
The almost 50 km² large island of Nisyros is located south of Kos, not far from the Turkish mainland. Typical for Greek villages are also here the whitewashed houses with their colorful shutters. The narrow streets and alleys invite you to stroll and linger. An eye-catcher are the numerous floor mosaics, also called Hohlakia or Chochlakia. The no longer active volcano of Nisyros is worth a trip, as is the idyllic mountain village of Nikia, like Emporios as a village in proverbial slumber or like Pachia Ammos, the most beautiful beach of Nisyros.
The ferry port on the island of Nisyros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Rhodes, Tilos, Chalki, Fournoi, Symi, Ikaria, Kastelorizo, Lipsi, Patmos, Kalymnos, Kos and Astypalea, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland.

Symi
The Pearl of the Aegean - that's how the 65 km² island on the far edge of the southeastern Aegean Sea likes to be called. Rhodes is one hour away by boat. Symi is mainly a destination for day tourists from Rhodes. For them, a visit to Panormitis Monastery as well as the listed harbor is a must. The monastery offers a wide panoramic view and as a former place of pilgrimage it is a historical sight. The fishing village Pedi as well as one or the other trip with excursion boats to island places, which you cannot reach otherwise, also belong on your Symi agenda. Keyword: the bays of Nanou and Disalona.
