POLYAIGOS

'Polyaigos' is an uninhabited Greek island in the Cyclades near Milos and Kimolos. Its name means "many goats", since it is inhabited only by goats.
Along its longest axis, it is 6 km and among its shortest 4.3 km wide. It has a surface area of approx. 18 km2 and a coastal length of 22-27 km. It is very close to the island of Kimolos (2 km north west from Polyaigos) and to the island of Milos (6.2 km west from Polyaigos). There are two mounts, Stroggylo which rises to 330m and Psilo Vouno (370m).
The island is to agreat extent privately owned by the Greek Orthodox church, which sublets parts of it to local herdsmen from the nearby islands of Milos and Kimolos.
Polyaigos is a mainly barren island. It has, however, some magnificent beaches, mainly on the southern part of the island, as well as many sea-surface caves, which serve as a refuge to a dwindling population of mediterranean monk seals (monachus-monachus).
