==Geography== The island, spanning 83.2 hectares (roughly 205 acres), is irregularly shaped, with main axes about {{cvt|1,500|m}} and {{cvt|1,000|m}}. It is heavily forested from south to north and features over 200 varieties of trees imported to the once nearly barren island by [[Aristotle Onassis]]. There are some sandy beaches, most notably East Beach, which was created by Onassis, who brought sand from [[Salamis Island]] for this purpose. It is home to three residences, a helicopter landing pad and a boat quay. Onassis also built harbor facilities in the bay on the north side for his ''[[Christina O]]'' yacht. The island water originates on a mountain from a nearby island which is estimated to cost about 100 million euros.<ref name="greece.greekreporter.com">{{cite web|url=https://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/02/09/onassis-brought-life-to-the-greek-island-of-skorpios/|title=Onassis Brought Life to the Greek Island of Skorpios|website=Greek Reporter|accessdate=14 May 2019}}</ref>
