It is rich in history and culture and retains unspoiled charm, serenity, and a special beauty all its own. Brian Dyde introduces the reader to the many attractions of this beautiful island, where to go and what to see, in addition to providing a background of the geography, history and natural history, people and culture, as well as a chapter of practical information.
