Nisyros mapmap and Geography of Nisyros Greece
Nisyros is a volcanic island of Greece like Santorini, Nisyros island as
we can see in the
map of Greece is located south of Kos and north of Tilos. The oldest
lavas of Nisyros can be found in the northwest of the island near the area
of Mandraki. There are underwater basalt lavas caused by tectonic activity
that they are now at the sea surface. It can only be assumed that the base
of Nisyros under the sea is built from similar rocks. Nisyros consists of
volcanic mountains, while the center of the island occupies a large crater
with a diameter of 4 kilometers. Another smaller crater rises up to 700
meters high. Nisyros has also also many thermal springs.
