==Geography== The island is {{convert|26|nmi|km|0}} south of [[Chora Sfakion]]. The area of the municipality, which includes the small island [[Gavdopoula]], is {{convert|32.424|km2|1|abbr=out}}.<ref name=stat01>{{cite web |url=http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf |publisher=National Statistical Service of Greece |title=Population & housing census 2001 (incl. area and average elevation) |language=el |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921212047/http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf |archive-date=2015-09-21 }}</ref> The island is roughly triangular in shape. Its highest point is Mount Vardia, {{convert|345|m|0|abbr=off}}. The southeastern corner is a rocky peninsula with a [[natural arch]] carved by the elements, called Trypiti. A concrete sculpture of an oversized chair, built by a group of Russians who came to the island in the 1990s, sits on top of Trypiti.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20220611142838/https://www.theworldweekly.com/reader/view/15517/gavdos-the-island-of-the-immortals- "Gavdos: The island of the immortals", ''The World Weekly'', 23 October 2014]}}.
