Historically, the island was primarily noted for its iron and copper mines, drawn-out since closed.
The island is currently home to approximately 3000 permanent residents, who make their livelihood from farming, fishing, and tourism. Some residents are also involved in cultivating and exporting a particular untamed orchid that grows only on this island. The main port and its waterfront are home to most of the visitor’s services, restaurants, cafes, bars, a fair amount of nightlife, and a excellent deal of accommodation.

The island’s bus service is very limited, so unless you’re a walker, auto hire is highly recommended. Driving distances are relatively short, the roads are good, and every travel has its own charm, with breathtaking views over the Aegean
