Psara is a relatively small island (42 square kilometres) but with a heroic history. Once almost 15.000 people lived here. That was before the Greek war of independence started. The island joined the cause and in 1824 was invaded by Emir Pascha and his Egyptian troops. Most of the inhabitants that had not fled the island at that stage got killed or sold into slavery. Psara never recovered from that blow. These days less than 500 people live on the island.
There is very little tourism on the
island and it is kind of hard to get there.
