Despite its sparse population (20 people only), has two or three tavernas and about 50 houses, which are mostly occupied only during the summer or at weekends. There is an adequate road. You can get there by means of a boat excursion from Gaios, or you can hire a boat and explore the island. The superb eastern beaches, with their golden sand and many-hued water, are famous throughout the Ionian. The southern part of the island, rocky and atmospheric, forms delightful small beaches such as Rodovani, with caves, Helidonograva for example, and rocky islets such as Daskalia. Inland, the church of Agios Emilianos is worth a visit, and was restored in 1864. The island is planted all over with vines of such varieties as 'troukaniaris', 'korakas', 'korinthi', 'petrokorinthos' and fidia', from which the locals make a strong wine of the best quality - one which you will not easily find in the shops (its price is around 7.50 euros a kilo) but if you do find it, make sure to enjoy some!
