Skorpios

Σκορπιός

The private island of shipping tycoon Onassis, where Jacqueline Kennedy was married. Tour boats circle the island and stop in nearby bays for swimming.

Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis bought Skorpios in 1962, and he and Jacqueline Kennedy held their wedding in the island's chapel. In 2013 the island was sold to a Russian tycoon and is being developed into a high-end resort. As private property, it cannot be landed on, but tour boats departing from Nydri sail around the island and anchor in a nearby bay so passengers can go for a swim.
