How to Vacation in Irakleia

This summer me and my friends had a blast in this island named Irakleia. Irakleia is a remote island in the Cyclades which you can reach only by ferry, so there aren't too many tourists.
The water is crystal clear and full of fish and sea urchins, so watch your foot. We even caught some sea urchins and watched them crawl and stick on our hands. Although the ocean is beautiful, the rest of the island is a sad wasteland without trees so you really can't do much else but swim and enjoy the beach. 
Me and my friends did many things including going on an eight-person boat to see a destroyed World War 2 plane. This plane was 9 meters underwater, and my friend's dad touched it! (Don't worry the guy had a scuba diving license so he knew what he was doing. I hope.) According to the boat owner, that was also the bay where Ulysses fought that one eyed dude, but I'm skeptical.

Should you go to Irakleia?

Yes, it's great for people who are into the ocean or people who can spend years just chilling at the beach. The only problems are that Greek restaurants are very slow (It takes 2 hours to make a meal), the island is hard to reach, and the rest of the island is a desert.
