The majority of the population finds employment in fishing, goat herding or running one of the island's four tavernas.

The island is characterized by dry, rocky land with little in the way of vegetation apart from olive trees and some hardy shrubs.

Fauna on the island mainly consists of livestock such as goats or donkeys, though herons can be spotted occasionally.

Although little remains of the structure, the stones used to build it make a good viewpoint at which to see the sun set over the Aegean.

This beach is small and somewhat rocky but provides crystal clear waters to swim in and the view across the bay to the nearby islets is idyllic.
