ABOUT NISYROS ISLAND

Nisyros, belongs to the Dodecanese archipelago, curving through the southeastern Aegean parallel to the ever-visible shoreline of Turkey. The footprints of everyone from Greeks and Romans to crusading medieval knights, and Byzantine and Ottoman potentates to 20th-century Italian bureaucrats, are found here. Housing Greece's youngest and still active volcano, the island of Nisyros offers a peaceful vacation and spectacular natural scenery. Its picturesque villages and amazing beaches make this non-touristy island a great destination for alternative holidays in Greece.

According to Greek mythology, Nisyros was created during the war between Gods and Giants. Poseidon chased the Giant Polyvotis down to Kos, cut a part of it and threw it to his enemy, sinking him forever in the bottom of the Aegean Sea. The legendary rock referred to in the Myth is supposed to be the island of Nisyros. It is said that when the volcano used to erupt it was the defeated Giant’s angry breath.

COST OF PARTICIPATION

This is the second time that we visit Nisyros island with a yoga retreat. We will spend 7 nights at Hotel Porfyris, which is situated at the main seaside village of the island-Mandraki. The total cost of participation is 415 euros/person, in a two persons' double shared room, or 560 euros/person in a single room. That cost includes 7 nights accomdation, breakfast with dodecanesian delicacies, and all our Yoga & Meditation Sessions.

Participation in our additional and optional activities on the island, such as organised excursions, hiking, boat cruises, transportation across the island, etc, need to be paid extra.

HOW TO GET THERE?

Nisyros is one of the most beautiful and lesser known Aegean islands, part of the Dodecanese island group, next to Kos and Tilos. Fly to Kos island from any big city abroad(i.e London) and then take the ferry to Nisyros (1,5 hrs trip).

If you are a ferry lover, you can also take a ferry from Pireus port (Athens) to Nisyros which is a long journey (12-14 hrs). If you also love island hoping, you can join us both in Ikaria & Nisyros, as every summer there is a direct ferry connection between the two islands. All final ferry timetables across the islands, do not release no sooner than March, however, you can contact us for further guidance.
