I've actually been here (in the water) I think. It was a long time ago, so I could be wrong. It was once inhabitet by an old hermit, and it's said to be cursed island nowadays.

I think it would get quite cold there in the winter, even if it's in the Mediterranean. According to wikipedia, he lived off alms from local fishermen, so I doubt he had many possessions. He was probably cold and lonely and a bit nutty.
