By the moment you arrive with the boat, you will get astonished by the extreme beauty of this exotic island in the middle of the mediterranean sea. You will be surrounded by a natural landscape with cedar trees, gold sand beaches, and turquoise waters. You will feel completely relaxed on this stunning island which is protected by the Natura 2000 Networking Programme, as an "area of intense natural beauty".
