EVS-Islands

Nisis Gavdhos (34°50'N., 24°05'E.), 368m high, lies 20 miles S of Ormos Loutro. Akra Tripiti, the S extremity of this island, is marked by a main light and is prominent because of three natural arches. The SW side of the island is formed by high cliffs and the N side is low and shelving. A sunken reef, on which two rocky islets lie, extends up to 1.6 miles N of the N side of the island. Anchorage can be taken by vessels, with local knowledge, in depths of 20 to 40m, mud and sand, off the E coast of the island. During N winds, vessels can also anchor, in a depth of 25m, about 0.2 mile E of the S extremity of the island. (SD Pub-132)

As you can see, I have added Sailing Direction information. The difference in spelling of the island name reflects a quandry when you work with islands throughout the world. The same island can be transliterated in a number of ways (Gavdhos vs. Gavdos). They both work, because they are both describing the same chunk of land. The most important aspect of any of these islands is their geographic coordinates. Once those are accurately fixed, you can call the place whatever you want and it doesn't matter - you'll be able to locate it with those coordinates.
