The island is not characterized by any significant rocks or minerals to be exploited nor does it have noteworthy natural bays and abundant water sources. However, despite the shortcomings in its natural resources, which to some extent explains the general paucity of archaeological remains and ancient written testimonies, the island boasts important archaeological sites.
