This volcanic island is thought by some people to be the remnants of the marvellous land that used to be Atlantis. You can go on a wine tour, as this place boasts more than 30 varieties of grape. In fact, it has become quite famous for its white wine.
On this island, you can visit and explore the Sacred Grotto, which is said to be the place where the apostle John wrote the Book of Revelations. Another must-see destination is the Monastery of St. John the Theologian, which was built in the 11th century.
Built in the Middle Ages, this place has held fast to its history, as can be seen from how it has preserved certain medieval characteristics in its structures.
