A strip of land that extends for about 50 hectares completely flat and with a maximum height that does not exceed three meters. This feature causes the island to be swept by the waves in the event of a strong wind and makes it unsuitable for hosting rich vegetation. For this reason the Messapi called it Achtotus (arid land). The old Messapian name was forgotten with the Roman conquest of the city of Gallipoli (267 BC) and probably took the name of Sant’Andrea only a few centuries later, when the Byzantines built a chapel dedicated to the saint. The archaeological importance is also noteworthy due to the presence of settlements dating back to the Bronze Age.
