January 2007 Barry and Enfys Hankey's Story
We met Barry and Enfys on the path from Evangelistra to Emborios. They were looking into a cave in the side of a cliff as we approached. Barry would soon plunge himself into the darkness and give us all a detailed description of the hidden treasures that lay within. Later we discovered that Barry had recently emailed me and that he wanted to tell folks about the island and share his photos. So we have here his story about Nisyros along with many photos.
We thank them for sharing and hope that you enjoy!

September 2004 We have finally finished renovations to my Grandfather's house!
We actually finished in June but I am just seeing the photos now. My grandfather's house was built in Mandraki in about 1930. Since about 1984 it has been empty and fallen into considerable disrepair. Now you can see some photos of the finished property:
