Strofades

Strofades (Greek: Στροφάδες; also called Strofadia, Στροφάδια, or Stromphides, Στρόμφιδες) is a group of two small Greek islands in the Ionian Islands. They lie about 44 km (27 mi) south-southeast of the island of Zakynthos. The larger island, Stamfani (Greek: Σταμφάνη), has an old fortress/monastery built in 1241. The smaller island is known as Arpia (Greek: Άρπυια). Both are sparsely vegetated and rocky.
