Living on the island is a unique and wonderful experience. You have a great view of the water everywhere. Everyday life brings with it a few unfamiliar tasks, such as fetching water and checking whether the generator needs to be turned on. The new and old huts are very charming and cozy. If you don't expect luxury, but rather a relatively simple life close to nature, it's paradise.
