Spend a day on the water on this full day adventure exploring smaller communities to the south of Kos in the Dodecanese islands. Depart from the local port to the island of Nisyros, a volcanic island that is home to the largest caldera in Europe. Then, on to the capital of Nisyros, Mandraki, for some shopping and free time. Return to the boat for lunch (included) and enjoy time to sunbathe or go for a swim before returning to Kardamena harbour.

Get more out of your time in Kos with this full-day boat cruise to three nearby islands. Access coastal sights that can only be reached by boat and traditional villages such as Pserimos and Vathi.

In our cooking class we prepare Greek appetizers together. The event takes place in the traditional house in Kefalos. The rustic garden offers the perfect setting for preparing meals together. Vegetarians are expressly desired. Like many Greek appetizers, our dishes are meat-free. The vegetables are fresh from the garden of our hostess Anna. As with all our excursions, the focus is on authenticity, originality and fun in the group. We look forward to you!
