    The still active volcano had its last sulfur eruption in 1888 and is constantly monitored because it can break out at any time. Who has breathing problems should be careful because the smell of sulfur is strong.

      The easternmost volcano of the Aegean arc lies on the Greek island of Nisyros. The 9 km wide island is dominated by a 3-4 km wide caldera. The caldera is about 250 m deep. In its southeast is the 300 m diameter Stefanos crater. It contains a geothermal area with fumaroles and mud pots.

      The highest elevation on the island is 698 m. It is provided by the Profitis Ilias lava dome. Volcanic manifestations can also be found outside the caldera: in the south-west lies the lava dome of Karaviotis. With a height of 539 m, it is the highest point outside the caldera.

        The Stefanos crater is still active today and emits hot sulphurous fumes. However, you have to make a real effort to see it. Basically, you can't see anything, and it doesn't bubble. But you can smell it 🦨 The descent only takes about 10 minutes and can be done in sandals. It's very impressive to walk right in the crater!
