THE EXPERIENCE

This guide is an introduction to a sensitive island, not a promise of walk-in access. Ask the tourism department or an authorised excursion operator about current permitted routes, and do not enter excavation areas or land independently.

  • Historic coastal settlements
  • Island and lagoon setting
  • Archaeological importance
