Hikes
The whole island can be explored on foot in an afternoon. Narrow paths and a single road lead through olive groves and fragrant macchia — up to the old radar station, down to hidden swimming coves and out to the bunkers of times gone by.
The paths are unmarked — the host is happy to point you to the trailheads on arrival. Pack sturdy shoes, water and sun protection, as shade is scarce along the way.
A steady climb to the island's highest point, where the old military radar station looks out over the sea. At the top the view opens across the whole archipelago — on clear days far beyond the neighbouring islands. Best in the early evening, when the light turns soft.
From the village, head past the supermarket towards the island's waste tip. Just before it, a narrow path branches off to the left into the scrub — keep following it until it ends at the old bunkers. An atmospheric piece of island history, slowly reclaimed by the macchia, with a wide view over the coast. Sturdy shoes recommended.
A short walk down to Loza bay, where the passenger ferry still docks in heavy swell. The quiet spot to swim on days when the harbour beach gets too busy — with a bathing ladder and enough depth to jump straight off the jetty into clear water.
