It can be found opposite the beach of Panagitsa. It is a beautiful lush-green islet to visit, though no-one lives there today. You will be able to discover some sandy bays where lots of visitors go to sunbathe during the months of the summer. An Englishman was enchanted by its beauty and decided to built a house and move there for a few years there, thus the island’s name (“Englezonisi” means “the Englishman’s island” in greek). You can still see the remains of his house today in the island. On the island there is also a small chapel dedicated to Saint Nikolaos. Celebrations take place in Drosia to honor the saint every year on the 5th of May. The celebrations include religious ceremonies and festivities that take place in the little island. This is the only day of the year that there are regular boat lines to and from this little island. The rest of the years you will have to use a private boat in order to get there. |
