About Gavdos
Gavdos is the southernmost point in Europe, a small, wild island south of Crete reached by a long ferry crossing. It has no real villages in the conventional sense, limited electricity in places, and a loyal following of campers and free spirits who return every summer for its untouched beaches.

- Pack supplies; shops and services are minimal and unreliable.
