The west coast descends steeply; in the east and north there are narrow, flat coastal strips. The vegetation is predominantly oleander and caper bushes, olive trees and many fields in which citrus and tropical fruits and vines flourish. The population is not, however, only reliant on agriculture, having other sources of income in the quarrying of pumice and obsidian (a volcanic glass found in lava flows), in fishing and not least in tourism. The latter owes its development to the mild climate and the excellent opportunities for water sports, and is based on good leisure facilities.
