Exile Island — 2 years ago
Worth visiting!
This place is where people were sent by the Ancients to live out their days forgotten and in shame, on a rock in the sea.
It’s a barren, windy place that in the summer months at least, is lively and a great place to get a tan. Inevitably, every year there is at least one disappearance of a tourist—someone who wandered off one of the many donkey paths and fell meters and meters down to their death on the rocks below…
In spite of that, there are great hikes, and there really is a spiritual component that you don’t usually find on many of the more touristed Greek islands.
