The island counts 160 km of coast, where more than 50 beautiful sandy-crystal clear water beaches are located every 2-3 kilometres.

It is a small island with a changing beautiful landscape.

Green hills and open planes become golden sand bathed in the warm Mediterranean sunshine, where traditional life thrives inland.

With awesome beaches and rural beauty, this energetic island has it all.
