Greece’s easternmost island Strongyli is about to receive its first road network

·

Strongyli, the easternmost island in Greece, is poised to receive its first-ever road network. 

This development is part of an initiative by the Southern Aegean regional authority aimed at enhancing infrastructure on Greece’s remote islands.

According to ekathimerini.com, after completing recent upgrades to the port on the nearby islet of Ro, officials have shifted their focus to Strongyli, which lies close to the Turkish coast, roughly four kilometers southeast of Kastellorizo.

The new road, measuring three meters in width, is expected to be completed by the end of November. It will run from the island’s pier to its highest point. Despite challenges posed by the island’s rocky terrain, this road represents a significant step forward in improving accessibility and connectivity on Strongyli, an island that has historically lacked basic infrastructure.

According to the 2021 census, Strongyli has a single resident and also features a lighthouse.
