An abandoned island with the ruins of an abandoned monastery- it doesn't get more interesting than that! It was used as a German training camp in 1944. If you go, be very cautious of silty soil on the inlet embankments- don't get stuck in the mud! There is/was a shipwreck in the inlet, so be cautious of that as well.

After a Benedictine monastery was founded about 1000 AD, more monasteries followed. In 1717, a fire burnt most of the buildings. Since 1799 there was a political jail, but nowadays the island is completely abandoned. The island was used in 1944 as a secret base for German military personnel training under the auspices of Italian Lt-Cmdr Wolk to master mine laying against Allied ships as free-diving frogmen. To avoid being discovered they only practiced at night. (from wikipedia)
