An islet with the ancient name Myonnesos, reachable on foot through shallow water and bearing the remains of walls.

Safety warning

The rocks on the shallow crossing are slippery; do not cross in rough weather.

Its story

In antiquity the islet was connected to the mainland and was known as Myonnesos, meaning 'mouse island'. In 190 BC an important naval battle between the Roman and Seleucid fleets took place in nearby waters. Although it is now cut off from the shore, the sea is shallow enough that you can walk across to the island. Some sections of its defensive walls have survived on the island.
