Skorpios (private island)
38° 41.5′ N · 20° 44.6′ E
The wooded private island off Nidri once owned by shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and now by the Ribolovlev family; every boat in the Inland Sea slows down to look at it.
Practical
Private property: landing beyond the beaches is strictly forbidden and the land behind the beaches is off limits (my-sea). Yachts may anchor in the bays on its south and north sides (see the separate anchorage entries) and swim off the beaches. Population 5 in 2011, administered by the municipality of Meganisi (Wikipedia). Coordinate is the Wikipedia island centre (on land).
