Situated in the Cyclades, this mountanous island is known for its great natural beauty, traditional Cycladic-style villages, and its abundant olive groves and almond trees. The southern half of the island has many sandy beaches, while the northern part, with its winding coastline, has numerous coves with secluded bathing spots.
