Strongyli (Greek: Στρογγυλή, meaning "round"), also known as Strongylo, is an uninhabited Greek islet located in the Libyan Sea, off the southeastern coast of Crete.[1] It is part of a small archipelago centred on the larger island of Koufonisi.
Geography
[edit]Strongyli is situated south of Cape Goudero on the Lasithi coastline. As its Greek name implies, the islet has a roughly circular shape. It forms a close geographical group with Koufonisi, Makroulo, Marmaro, and Trachilos.
Environment
[edit]The island and its surrounding marine area are protected as part of the Natura 2000 ecological network, designated under site code GR4320017 (Nísos Koufonísi, Gýro Nisídes kai Nisídes Kaváloi).[2] The site is also indexed in the World Database on Protected Areas.[3]
