The island is referred to as “KÁPARI” on old charts, possibly because there are many caper (kápari) shrubs growing here. The island has been inhabited since ancient times (an ancient settlement has been unearthed). There are Early – Christian churches dating from the 5th century in Chóra, Grafiótissa and Petrí. You will enjoy the absolute peace here. There are no roads or cars. Visit the large cave, which is by the chapel of Agios Georgios.
