I came here for the first time in 1993 and have returned a few times over the years--most recently in 2018 when I brought my 11 year old daughter who loved it.

Beautiful small island with an entry fee of €4. A small museum inside with lovely views of the mainland. The beach to the island is pebbles so be sure to have good shoes on. There’s a sand bar crosssing so you will get wet!

The (2000+ ?) steps from the Belvedere lookout are a bit of a killer! But once you are down at sea level the Isola is a pleasant way to spend an hour or so. Another of Florence Trevelyan’s creations (she of the Communal Park) with meandering paths and little follies.
