The wildest of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago was in fact used as a prison because of its distance from everything and everyone. It is a volcanic island and has only two small settlements, the port, and the ancient village. It is a rough and rugged island with sheer cliffs that plunge into a crystal-clear, perfect, and very clean sea. A perfect destination for snorkeling enthusiasts, with sightings of dolphins and whales not uncommon. On the island, the Mediterranean macchia is uncontaminated and unique, and thanks to the microclimate it is ideal for the production of unique honey and wines.
