[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmakonisi Pharmakonisi]  or Farmakonisi (Φαρμακονήσι), the ancient Pharmakusa, is the small island where [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar Julius Caesar] was held captive for ransom by pirates. After he was ransomed, he returned with the Roman fleet, captured and crucified his former captors. On the island here are the ruins of a Roman bath (several arches) and of a small [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire Byzantine] church, dedicated to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George St. George]. Now the island is uninhabited save a company of Greek soldiers. They have established a lookout, mostly for illegal immigrants, in the ruins of the Roman bath.

Pharmakonisi or Farmakonisi (Φαρμακονήσι), the ancient Pharmakusa, is the small island where Julius Caesar was held captive for ransom by pirates. After he was ransomed, he returned with the Roman fleet, captured and crucified his former captors. On the island here are the ruins of a Roman bath (several arches) and of a small Byzantine church, dedicated to St. George. Now the island is uninhabited save a company of Greek soldiers. They have established a lookout, mostly for illegal immigrants, in the ruins of the Roman bath.

The church is not very remarkable but there is a good view which makes the 20 minute walk worthwhile.

Warning: Unescorted landing of non-Greek citizens is not allowed.
