ISLET OF GIALI

PhotoThe tiny islet of Giali is 4 nautical miles northwest of Nissiros and it is serviced by caiques. Its white-washed buildings sparkle under the sun. It has a small settlement of a few inhabitants who are engaged in quarrying pumice.





LOUTRA SPAS

PhotoIn a wooded area in the village of Loutra, 1 km east of Mandraki, one can visit the medicinal sulphurous springs. They are ideal for skin problems and rheumatism. Their facilities include a small guesthouse which can accommodate 100 persons, as well as public baths.



THE VOLCANO

PhotoThe volcano stands on Laki plateau. The landscape suggests the surface of the moon as the lush vegetation gives way to volcanic rock. The volcano is now dormant, but the strong odour of sulphur, as well as strange noises coming from it, make its presence evident. Access to its interior is possible through steps that lead down into it at a width of 30 metres and a diameter of 260 meters.
