Un'isola che non si esaurisce negli stupendi paesaggi naturali e nell’esibizione dei lussi più stravaganti e costosi. Ci sono elementi di cultura vera, che vanno dai resti di insediamenti di epoca imperiale romana, attribuiti all’Imperatore Tiberio, a più recenti ville storiche, piene di ricordi del passato della vita dell’isola.
