GAVDOS
Gavdos is at the southest edge of Greece. It is a small island with great history. It is 23 nautical miles southest of Sfakia and it's shape is triangular. During the Hellenistic Period, Gavdos constituted a base of operations and refuge for the pirates. It was connected to Gortyna, which was powerful at that time, and paid tax to it. During the Venetian Occupation, an attempt was made in order a fortress to be built that was never finished, and consequently it remained to the disposal of pirates for many centuries. In Recent Years, Gavdos was a place of deportation for detainees. If you are lucky at your trip to Gavdos you might meet large whales! |
