Discover Nisyros Island, Greece – Mandraki, Volcano & Stefanos Crater (Drone 4K)

Discover Nisyros Island, Greece.

Nisyros Island is one of the hidden gems of the Dodecanese in Greece. Unlike its famous neighbors Kos or Rhodes, Nisyros remains quieter, more authentic, and deeply connected to its volcanic origins. This small island in the Aegean Sea combines picturesque villages, breathtaking landscapes, and the dramatic power of a still-active volcano.

In this article, I will take you on a journey across Nisyros – from the charming town of Mandraki to the legendary Stefanos Crater – accompanied by stunning 4K drone views.

Stormy Seas and Wild Beauty at Greystones

 Today’s walk along the shore at Greystones was something special — the kind of day where nature reminds you who’s in charge. The wind was wild and persistent, the rain pouring down, waves crashing with a powerful drama. Even in that rawness, there was beauty: I spotted a few seals bobbing through the surf, birds riding the gusts, and the sea in moods of grey, silver, and foam.

 

Glendalough 2025 – a rare moment of silence

Glendalough 2025 – a rare moment of silence

Glendalough, nestled in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains, has drawn visitors and pilgrims for centuries. It is one of Ireland’s most iconic locations – not only because of its history, which reaches back to the 6th century, but also thanks to its breathtaking scenery.

 

 It was here that St Kevin founded the famous monastic settlement, which for hundreds of years served as an important centre of religion and learning. Today, the remains of that monastery – the round tower, stone churches and weathered ruins – still stand, giving the impression that time has slowed down. Walking among them, one can almost sense the rhythm of life from long ago.

Walking Through Dublin’s Centre With My Camera

Some days I just feel like walking through Dublin with no plan, letting the city take me where it wants. Today I started at Trinity College, right in the heart of the city. The square there is always alive—students rushing to classes, tourists trying to find their bearings. Trinity itself is one of Dublin’s oldest landmarks, but for me, it’s simply a place where I like to stand for a moment and watch people move.

From there I headed to Dublin Castle. The courtyard feels different—quieter, more open—though you can still sense the weight of history around the stone walls. I’ve passed this place countless times over the years, but every time I take a photo here, I notice some small detail I’d never paid attention to before.
