Take the ferry
There is a direct ferry from Rhodes to Nisyros running several times a week year-round, taking around 2 to 3 hours. Faster vessel options are also available seasonally. Both connect the two islands without going through Athens.
Getting there by air
Nisyros has no airport. The ferry from Rhodes is the only realistic option and at under 3 hours it is a manageable trip.
