Argos – St. Irini

Starting from Mandraki, visitors can explore the south-western part of the island, where the thermal spring of Pyria and other volcanic landforms can be found.

This route starts from Mandraki and takes visitors towards the area of Argos, at the west slopes of Nisyros. The first place to visit is Siones, a small temple at the west slopes of the caldera dedicated to the birth of Mary. Visitors can continue the road toward the volcano or take the path that leads to the archeological field of Argos.
