Emborios - Polybates Volcano Attractions Emporió

In the caldera of the volcano at Emporió is the little plain of Lakkí (alt. 139m/456ft), the northern part of which is cultivated, while the southern half is covered with bubbling hot springs and mud pools, brightly colored concretions and steaming fumaroles. On the west side is a small crater which is the highest point on the island (698m/2,290ft).

An hour's walk south of the crater at Emporió is the beautifully situated village of Nikiá, with a medieval castle. Other medieval castles are Sto Stavró, in the south of the island, and Parkettiá, in the southeast.
