I spent a day on the beautiful island of Nisyros in the heart of the Dodecanese. The island impressed me with its stunning nature, charming main town, and many things to see and explore. Of course, things don’t always go as planned, and my adventure with a rented bicycle didn’t end where I intended - at the volcano in the center of the island. The midday heat in the Mediterranean summer was intense, and my GoPro battery was down to 10%, so I left this as a reason to return for another visit...
