6Nisyros Island, Greece
Greece’s Nisyros Island is a volcanic island in the Dodecanese archipelago, offering a unique blend of serene beaches, traditional villages, and geothermal wonders. Unlike more popular Greek islands, Nisyros is relatively quiet, and its small population maintains a laid-back, traditional way of life. The island’s highlight is its active volcano, which you can actually walk into to see bubbling fumaroles and feel the geothermal heat. The picturesque villages of Mandraki and Nikia offer authentic Greek charm, with stunning views and whitewashed buildings.
