This won't be enough to sail to Gavdos
![A small white boat anchored near a concrete pier with calm, clear blue ocean water and a cloudless sky.](https://res.cloudinary.com/nho/image/fetch/q_auto,fl_progressive:semi/w_auto:breakpoints_360_3500_20_10:800/https://nicolas-hoizey.photo/photos/this-won-t-be-enough-to-sail-to-gavdos/this-won-t-be-enough-to-sail-to-gavdos.jpg)
Barely visible on the horizon, 40km off the southern coast of Crete (and 289km north of the African coast), Gavdos is the southernmost Greek island in Europe.
This situation has always kept it isolated from tourism, and the island remains timeless to this day. A wild island with no real tourist facilities, an island where you go to do nothing but commune with nature and the sea.
Some see Gavdos, ancient Ogygia, as the island of the nymph Calypso, who kept Ulysses alive for a short while, making him her husband.
