MOUSE ISLAND
The name probably came from the size and especially the shape of the island, as to some it looked like the known rodent, although in our opinion the island does not look at all like a mouse, even with a large dose of imagination is nowhere near the mouse form but further resembles like a boat, so the following mythological approach suits better. Homer tells in Odyssey, that this was the boat of Phaecian Corfiots carrying Odysseus (Ulysses) home to Ithaca, the gods became displeased by this and transformed the ship into stone when it entered the port and before the sailors could embark. The boat was then changed into an island, so according to Greek mythology, Mouse Island is a petrified boat.

After the union in 1864 was granted to the former royal family and was used as their summer residence.
