The "Pigs of Atokos": The island is famously referred to as "Pig Island" due to its friendly herd of wild boars. Sailors frequently spot them roaming the coastline or paddling in the shallows. One House Bay: Located on the east coast, this is the most popular anchorage. It features a brilliant white pebble beach, a lush hinterland, a freshwater well, and a small, beautifully maintained stone chapel. Cliff Bay: Positioned on the south coast, this breathtaking anchorage is surrounded by steep limestone cliffs and offers a sense of total seclusion Ownership: The island is privately owned by the Greek shipping magnate Panayiotis Tsakos. Conservation: It is designated as part of the Natura 2000 Network due to its wild, untouched environment and rare sea flora. Accessibility: There are no ferries to the island. Access is strictly limited to private yachts, ribs, or chartered day cruises, typically departing from hubs like Lefkada, Ithaca, or Kefalonia
