The versatility of this townhouse, which offers two floors that can function independently, means that it can be utilised for a 'mixed' use, where one of the floors can be rented out. At the same time, the owner stays on the other floor, or both floors can be rented to different parties, while the whole house can accommodate a larger party.Location - DistancesLocated between Kos and Tilos, the island of Nisyros is famous for its volcano. It is a relatively small, circular island with a diameter of approximately 8 km. The volcano is situated in the middle of the island, and its caldera is ±4 km wide. The island is connected by ferry to Rhodes, Piraeus and Kos. Especially during the summer months, there are several scheduled daily connections to Kardamena port on Kos. The Stefanos crater of the volcano is the most popular sight on the island, but there are also many churches to visit, as well as a nice archaeological museum. Nisyros is perhaps one of the last destinations in Greece that can be enjoyed mostly on foot.Chochlaki Beach: 150 mMandraki Beach: 700 mMandraki Port (Ferry connections): 1 kmStefanos Crater: 9.5 kmEmporeios: 10 kmPachia Ammos Beach: 11 km
