The island is relatively green. Typically there are cypresses, pine-trees, olives and vineyards. It's quite picturesque. There is little enough tourism on the island to attract nature lovers and individualists. There are a few archaeological sites and museums of interest. Some of the local villages are protected as historical monuments. The beauty of it is that they preserved there typical character. Famous examples are the small fishing village Frikes and the little village of Kioni. Most of the buildings there survived the 1953 earthquake.
