Getting There
A 20-minute walk from the Piazzetta along Via Tragara, or by boat around the island.

Why Go

The middle stack has a natural arch that boats pass through; tradition says couples who kiss beneath it stay together. The best views from land are from the Gardens of Augustus and from the path down to the rocks.
