Hilly village in a height of 400m and 13km from Mandraki. Nikia are located very close to the volcano, which is not active, and are of tourist interest.
Combine your visit to the volcano with a stroll in the graphic settlement of Nikia. Its architecture is of great interest, as the cobblestone paths are labyrinthine and you can easily get lost in them.
In the deserted village of Avlaki you will see the monastery of Agios Panteleimonas, while you can swim in the homonym beach with a beautiful shore, in the southest part of the island. Close to Nikia village is the most important and famous site in the world. The volcano. The spectacle is breathtaking. The biggest crater is of 260m diameter and 30m depth, while there are in total five craters creating the plateau of Lakkiou, created by the eruption of 1552. It is worth going down the bottom of the biggest crater. The smell of sulphur is intense but it’s a once in a lifetime spectacle that every visitor should experience.
