The Paliokastro, is one of the best preserved fortifications of antiquity in the Aegean. The wall is built at the eyebrow of the low hill above Mandraki, with large plinths of volcanic black stone, with a pseudo-building trapezoidal masonry system on both fronts. Inside there is a filling of raw stones and latip. Its average width is 3.50-3.80 m. In the international literature is known the inscription which is engraved on the outside, north of the gate. The inscription states "THE PREFECTURE OF THE VILLAGE FIVE FEETS FROM THE WALL", ie defines the width of the public zone outside the fortification that had to remain free from any use for defensive reasons. The inscription is placed chronologically in the third quarter of the 4th c. π.X. and is an important element in the dating of the wall. The surviving length of the wall in its southern part is 230, while in the eastern 80 m. It is reinforced by a series of rectangular towers, of which six are preserved on its south side and two on the east. In the southeast corner of the wall, a C-shaped recess is formed, where the only surviving gate of the wall is placed, in an invisible and sheltered position. For additional protection, the corner tower of the wall stands in front of it. The gate, 2.10 m wide, is preserved intact and is covered by elongated bricks, over 3 m long. Two ascending stairs are very well preserved along the eastern part of the wall. Of these, the southernmost is maintained at a height of 15 steps, while the second, at a distance of 40 m., Is preserved at a height of 18 steps. Similar climbing assemblies are arranged on the inner side of the southern part of the wall. Of these, only their base survives today. The corner tower of the wall, opposite the gate, is 8.50 long and 9 m wide. The other towers have similar dimensions, which seem to have been solid, ie full at their lowest part. The fifth tower on the south side is presented with different masonry, which seems to be a later addition to an existing tower that may have collapsed. This tower is built with an isodome masonry system and with the insertion of wooden bricks at intervals between the streets. This characteristic masonry, which came from Greater Greece and is often found in fortifications of the Aegean and the coast of Asia Minor, dates the tower to the end of the 4th or the beginning of the 3rd c. π.X. The wall surrounded the ancient city of Nisyros, which has not been excavated. The ruins of an early Christian basilica are preserved inside the wall.

Throughout its long history, Nisyros has been a place with intense spirituality and religiosity. Proof, the numerous places of worship, as evidenced by the remains of temples, the countless temples of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine period, the humble churches that are scattered in its countryside.

This beauty is emphasized even more by the natural landscape of our island, full of alternations and surprises. The acquaintance with the religious monuments and the sacred memories of Nisyros, but also the deep feeling that they transmit, is connected with the search for a different way of life, based on the authentic traditional values. That is why the monuments of this place are not just museum elements or inanimate transmitters of information. On the contrary, it is a strong presence in the cultural tradition of the island, a deposit of soul, hope and renewal, and therefore can still inspire and give a different meaning of life to the visitor of the island.

Nisyros, because it is a volcanic island with special geological and cultural interest, is suitable for various activities that go beyond the range of mass tourism. Nisyros is an island ideal for alternative forms of tourism such as: conference, religious, spa, walking, diving, gastronomy, etc. ​ Activities for visitors Conference tourism ​ Nisyros, with its special natural beauty, the volcano, Paliokastro, the monasteries, the churches, with the scientific interest they cause in a variety of scientific fields (volcanology, geology, seismology, energy, geothermal, ecology, ecology, archeology, ), can be an important conference destination.

The acquaintance with the religious monuments and the sacred memories of Nisyros, but also the deep feeling that they transmit, is connected with the search for a different way of life, based on the authentic traditional values. That is why the monuments of this place are not just museum elements or inanimate transmitters of information. On the contrary, it is a strong presence in the cultural tradition of the island, a deposit of soul, hope and renewal and therefore can today inspire and give a different meaning of life to the visitor of the island. Almost all the festivals that are organized on the island are a pole of attraction for visitors.

In many places along the coast of the island hot water gushes, at temperatures ranging from 30 to 61 degrees. It is a mixture of sea and rain water with the geothermal fluids of the upper hot horizon. These, warmer and lighter, manage to reach close to the surface following the large cracks and crevices in the area. The best known of the hot springs are those of Loutron, 1500 meters north of Mandraki and Thermiani, next to the church of Panagia Thermiani, at the northern end of the village of Palos. Both are classified as "thermal hydrogen sulfide aliphates". ​ The source of Thermiani has been known since antiquity. The inscription found in the ruins of the large portico of the Roman baths which operated in the same area "Olbian man by no means Hippocrates of Valania's disease's disease" (Happy man who will become like this (will be healed), [just passes ] the poor (olive wood) threshold of Hippocrates's baths [which wash away] harmful diseases) reinforces the view that Hippocrates's father of medicine had chosen this spring of Nisyros as a spa. The same source probably mentions Buondelmonti as thermal baths: Ad trionem in pede montis, contigua maris, spelunca consistit, ad quam circumstantes, doloribus oppressi, accedunt, et, diu morati, in patriam incolumes reventuntur. On the nearby shore, on the edge of the mountain, there is a cave where those who suffer from pain come to be healed, stay for a while and then leave healthy. The last period during which a therapeutic center operated in the area is from 1895 until the beginning of the 30's, the well-known "Loutra Pantelidi". Today the old baths have been restored, but they are not yet ready to operate. The temperature of the spring is 33 degrees, but it is expected to increase by 8-10 degrees if the water is pumped. The waters of the hot spring of Loutra have been exploited by the Municipal Baths of Mandraki since 1872. Is It is famous for its healing properties in rheumatism, arthritis, skin diseases and diseases of the circulatory system. The maximum temperature of the source is 46 degrees. A third known hot spring is the one in its bay Groove. Its waters had been used for bath therapy before leaving the settlement. The hot water is gushing in the sea today and its maximum temperature is 61 degrees. Apart from the hot springs, in Nisyros there are many places where hot steam emerges. Two of these sites have been used in the past as natural saunas. The main one, and known since antiquity, is in place Fireplaces, where the steam bath chamber is still preserved and adjacent buildings of the baths. The other place is located at the entrance of the settlement Emporios. The temperature of the vapors is 34-35 ° C. Diving tourism ​ The seabed of Nisyros is one of the few places in the world where it can one to dive into an active volcano and swim among the bubbles coming out of the bowels of the earth. The excellent visibility that reaches up to 40 meters is ideal to be able to enjoy magnificent volcanic landscapes below sea level. Underwater faults, caves, craters are waiting to be explored with autonomous but also with free diving. Excellent biodiversity as well it can cause great surprises and emotions.

Nisyros is a complex layer-volcano, originally created on the seabed of the area. With the constant explosive and pouring activity, it emerged above the sea surface and created a beautiful island. The island belongs to the recently active volcanic arc of the South Aegean and is one of its newest parts, which is due to the very good preservation of geological formations and an impressive thermal anomaly visible on the surface (superheated fumes, springs, craters, etc.). The variety of volcanic structures and their simplicity make them understandable even to non-specialists: impressive four-kilometer-diameter caldera, large volcanic domes, supply veins, impressive lava flows ending in the sea, volcanic eruptions, fire-fighting products ash, mixed magmas, collapse flakes, clay formations and much more, create scientific and visual interest in landscape, colors and formations. For these reasons alone, Nisyros can attract more visitors and help anyone interested in understanding the processes of genesis and evolution of volcanoes. The operation of a modern and well-equipped Volcanological Museum, with samples and images of the most impressive and characteristic rocks and formations, maps, sections, diagrams, volcanic patterns, photographs, computer simulations and interactive programs, has a decisive contribution to this goal. etc. The Museum also includes images and models of other Greek volcanoes as well as themes of the Aegean volcanic arc. The visitor is informed about the structure of the lithospheric plates of the planet and the volcanic activity of the wider area. Modern digital technology allows the construction of impressive and didactic images for the Museum, with three-dimensional animations. The Museum is located in Nikia, in a privileged position on the edges of the caldera, from where a panoramic view of the interior of the caldera and the volcano is offered. In this traditional settlement there was an abandoned school which was restored by the relevant program and now houses the Museum, after the appropriate renovations and arrangements in the building. The Museum gives life to the settlement and contributes to the general development of tourism on the island by offering the infrastructure for the development of another new form of alternative tourism. The main premises of the Museum host the following thematic sections: Genesis and structure of volcanoes Volcanic processes and products The volcanoes of Greece The Volcano of Nisyros The other active volcanoes of Greece Volcanoes - Environment - Man A section of the Museum hosts the Information, Observation and Experiments. In this area there is a collection of all the rocks of Nisyros and other active volcanoes, which visitors can observe macroscopically and microscopically, as well as microscopes with appropriate relative sections of rocks are available. There is a library with a rich collection of books and articles of volcanic content and more. There are also devices for simulating volcanic eruptions on both PCs and experimental devices that work for young visitors. The Volcanological Museum of Nisyros was created within the framework of the program "Emergence of the Volcano of Nisyros", a program coordinated by the Municipality of Nisyros and funded by the South Aegean Region with funding from the DG Community Support Framework. Responsible for the project from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which had undertaken this subproject, was Prof. AUTH Michalis Fytikas, with research associate Dr. George Vougioukalaki, volcanologist of IGME. The museographic study was done by the company TETRAGON, with the architect Eleni Vretzaki in charge. The representations in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) of the data were made by Nikos Androulakakis, Informatics engineer of IGME. The videos and the 3D illustrations in cartoons are by Christos Vrakotas, graphic designer. Monday - Saturday 8:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. Closed on Sundays Nikia Tel. 0030 2242031400

Archaeological Museum THE CREATION OF NISYROS IN THE METOPE OF THE PARTHENON According to Greek mythology, during the Battle of the Giants, that is, the battle of Gods and Giants, Poseidon, chasing the Giant Polyvotis in the Aegean Sea, cut off a part of the Island of Kos with his trident, hurled it against Polyvotis and threw it. This part of Kos is Nisyros and when the overwhelmed Giant moves his shoulders and roars, Nisyros is shaken by earthquakes. The representation of this myth, the creation of Nisyros, exists in the 6th eastern metope of the Parthenon and is exhibited in the Acropolis museum, with a special description of the event.
