The geographical position of the island could be described as a balcony over the Aegean Sea, overlooking the rest of the neighboring Cycladic islands. The unique palette of purple dawn and golden dusk add to this enchanting scenery a hard to describe sense of mystic serenity.

The beauty of the landscape is not limited to this: gullies full of rosebays; villages divided with stone paved steps; schist, marble and granite; trails with crops and osiers; thyme and sagebrushes; ravines; steep cliffs alternating with sandy beaches, bare windswept mountains and the deep blue sea merging with the horizon, compose enchanting images. The singing of birds, the humming of the cicadas, the sound of running water, the wind and waves break the quiet of this wild landscape.
