LocationGreece

Polýaigos is an uninhabited Greek island in the Cyclades near Milos and Kimolos. It is part of the community of Kimolos. Its name means "many goats", since it is inhabited only by goats. It was mentioned by several ancient geographers: Ptolemy, Pliny the Elder, and Pomponius Mela.Along its longest axis, it is 6 kilometres and among its shortest 4.3 kilometres wide. It has a surface area of approx. 18 km2 and a coastal length of 22 to 27 kilometres. It is very close to the island of Kimolos and to the island of Milos. There are two mounts, Stroggylo which rises to 330 metres and Psilo Vouno.

The island is to a great extent privately owned by the Greek Orthodox church, which sublets parts of it to local herdsmen from the nearby islands of Milos and Kimolos.
