Pitta, Rocky skerry in Dodecanese, Greece
Pitta is a rocky skerry in the Aegean Sea, located roughly 9 kilometers north-northeast of the island of Kalymnos. This small rocky formation rises from the water and serves as a distinctive landmark in the region.
The skerry has long served as a navigation reference point in these waters and has maintained its natural form over centuries. It forms part of the geographical history of the Dodecanese islands and their maritime connections.
This small rocky formation belongs to the Municipality of Kalymnos, contributing to the geographical identity of the Dodecanese archipelago.
The skerry is accessible only by boat, either from Kalymnos or from nearby islands. Water conditions play an important role in determining whether it can be reached safely.
The skerry is designated as a protected area under the Natura 2000 network because rare falcon species such as the Eleonora's falcon and peregrine falcon breed there. This small piece of rock plays an important role in protecting these endangered birds of prey.
