We came to Nisyros for 5 nights and spent the first 2 here before heading to another lodging in Emporio (we regret we didn't book our entire time here!) The stone house could not have been more perfect for a stay on the island – it is beautifully appointed and thoughtfully renovated. The outdoor patio area is lush with fruit trees, tomatoes, prickly pear and a stunning view of the sea. After being out all day, we'd come back to a bowl of freshly picked figs waiting for us – the perfect snack for taking in the evening with a cold beer or sliced on our morning cheese toasts. The location could not be better – it's a 2 minute walk to the center of Mandraki and in 10 minutes you can be at the stunning black stone beach around the bend, but it's still far enough away from the hoards of daytrippers that unload everyday at the port. Haris picked us up at the ferry and gave us the run down of the island – he had excellent restaurant recommendations (take them!) and tips for taking in all Nisyros has to offer, he even helped us arrange for bicycles. Such a paradise, we hope to be make it back soon.
