Sousaki volcano, Dormant volcano in Agioi Theodoroi district, Greece

The Sousaki volcano consists of two gorges with multiple openings that release hot gases at temperatures reaching 42 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

The last volcanic eruption occurred 2.5 million years ago, forming new land in the Gulf of Megara where major port facilities now operate.

The volcano's presence has shaped the development of local industries, including the establishment of refineries and port facilities in the surrounding region.

Visitors need to navigate unpaved paths through olive groves to reach the site, which requires appropriate footwear and caution due to gas emissions.

The volcanic system releases approximately one megagram of gases daily, composed of 90 percent carbon dioxide with traces of methane and hydrogen sulfide.
