: "South of Kos and facing Kardamena is the island of Nisyros, a brooding and from a distance a mysterious presence in the sea in the Dodecanese islands, between Kos and Tilos. It is basically a volcanic caldera 8 miles in diameter about 8 miles seawards south of Kos. It is a quiet place, far from the well trod tourist path, which is meant to fascinate and charm visitors with its strong colourful character, the dark brown of its volcanic earth, the white of its houses and the deep blue of its sea.
