Strongyli ( Greek Στρογγυλή ( f. Sg. )) Is a small, uninhabited Greek island in the far east of the Dodecanese prefecture .
Strongyli is about five kilometers east of the island of Kastelorizo , to whose municipality it also belongs, and is therefore the easternmost island in Greece. It is only a good three kilometers from the Turkish coast.
The island is about 1.5 km long, up to 0.7 km wide and has an area of about one square kilometer. It is rather flat and hardly forested. Since it is no longer used for agriculture, bushes and macchia growth determine the appearance.
The historically insignificant island forms the easternmost land area in Greece, the lighthouse standing on it is the easternmost building on Greek soil.
The island was bought by US actor Johnny Depp in July 2015 .
