The island was inhabited until World War II when the Italians used its deep harbor as a submarine base. The islanders abandoned their island in 1943 after the British commandos sent to sabotage the submarines were captured and executed by the Nazis.
Places to Visit
In the South Cove there are a number of deserted WW II buildings with cartoon drawn on their walls by a nostalgic German soldier who was stationed at the submarine base.
A good half an hour hike from the East Cove brings you to the ruins of the Crusader Castle from which you can enjoy a good view of Rhodes and Chálki.
