Nisyros is one of the youngest large volcanic centres in Greece included in the active volcanoes along with Methana, Milos and Santorini. The oldest rock forma- tions are 160 000 years old, while the youngest (prehistoric) are 15 000 years old and cover the entire island. Most of Nisyros is moun- tainous, volcanic and very fertile.

panagia-spiliani

The monastery of Panagia Spiliani is built at the top of a hill northwest of Mandraki. Around the monastery retained sections of the Paleokastro wall still exist, whereas the castle is protected by the «Castle of the Knights of Rhodes» built by the Knights of St. John in the early of 14th century.

The north is dedicated to the Kimisi tis Theotokou (Assumption of Mary) and the south, Agios Charalambos (Saint Charalampos).
