Nisís Palaia Kameni (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Nisís Palaia Kameni?
What makes it 18% Baby-Friendly: The barren lava shore has no paths, shade, toilets, or changing area, and reaching the springs requires a swim from the boat, so bringing a baby here is unsafe and offers no comfort.
Positives:
- Scenic resting spot: Boat deck offers a quiet area for your baby to nap with caldera views.
- Onboard restroom: Small marine toilet available; helpful for diaper changes without returning to shore.
Challenges:
- No island facilities: Palaia Kameni has no shade, restrooms, or changing stations; baby care depends on boat.
- Uneven rocky terrain: Volcanic rock is unstable; strollers can’t reach shore. Use a carrier for safety.
