Renowned for its wines and vineyards
since ancient times, the island has preserved a marvelous
harmony between nature, production and development. Its soil
still nourishes the wonder-working herbs that made it famous
and fostered the development of folk remedies, a tradition
that is reflected in the establishment here of the International
Academy of Classic Homeopathy. Today, the natural cycle of
a local economy based on ecologically friendly fishing, farming
and stock-raising helps keep the environment unsullied by
the "temptations" of excessive and anarchical tourist
development.
