Discover the beaches in Nisyros
There are also nice beaches on the neighboring islands of Gyali and Agios Antonios, which you can visit as a day trip by boat. Day trips are also made to the islets of Pyrgousa, Pachia and Strogyli, while you can also go around the island.
Nisyros is an island for holidays without sunbeds, beach bars, jet skis and beach parties. If you want shade and coolness on the sand, you should buy your own umbrella and take drinking water with you.
Pachia Ammos loves nudism and free camping, It certainly has room for everyone, since it is vast and is a 15-minute walk from the nearest parking lot.
In any case, you will find a quiet beach a little further , in Lies, away from the crowds. Another quiet beach is in Chochlakou, with the large pebbles, very close from Mandraki. If you start in the morning, you might even find a place under the few tamarind trees
