The ancient island of "Euonimo" has an area of only 3.5 km², yet it is the most admired island by elite tourism.
The main village, Contrada San Pietro, consists of a cluster of white houses clinging to the eastern side of the island.
The built-up area is crowned with olive trees and protected by massive walls. The other two villages north and south of San Pietro are Dittella and Drauto.
The only passable paths connect the center to Punta Calcara: the realm of fumaroles (hot gas and steam emissions) is located at the northern tip of the island. The ground temperature can reach up to 100 ºC.
At the southeastern tip of the island lies the prehistoric village of Punta Milazzese, dating back to the Bronze Age.
Fields of golden corn cover the 420-meter peak of Pizzo del Corvo (the highest point of the island), while the mountain slopes vertically into the sea on the eastern side.
