Kymo

Kymo, Islet in the Libyan Sea off eastern Crete, Greece

Kymo, also called Koumeli, is a small uninhabited Greek islet of bare rock in the Libyan Sea, close to the eastern coast of Crete. It lies within the Lefki municipal unit of the Lasithi regional unit, off the shore near Sitia. Its low rocky body rises straight from the water, with no buildings or landing facilities.

Kymo is recorded as an islet of the Libyan Sea off the eastern coast of Crete, administratively belonging to the Lefki municipal unit of Lasithi; the Greek Wikipedia places it in the Municipality of Sitia. It is also known by the name Koumeli. The sources record no settlement or historical event on the islet, only its administrative attribution.

Kymo is also called Koumeli, and the islet is uninhabited. It lies in the Libyan Sea off the eastern coast of Crete and belongs administratively to the Municipality of Sitia in Lasithi. The name Kymo comes from Greek mythology: Kymo was one of the fifty Nereids, sea nymphs honoured as protectors of sailors.

Kymo lies in the Libyan Sea off Crete's eastern coast, within the Lefki municipal unit of Lasithi; the islet is uninhabited and has no pier or landing facilities. Reaching it requires a boat from the eastern Cretan ports, and the crossing should be made in settled weather. The nearest administrative centre is Sitia.

Kymo is also known as Koumeli, and the two names appear side by side in Greek records of the islet. Administratively the sources place it in the Lefki municipal unit of Lasithi, though the Greek article assigns it to the Sitia municipality. The islet is uninhabited, so any wildlife there is undisturbed by residents.
