Christiana Islands
Islands Uninhabited islets in the Aegean Sea, Greece
The Christiana Islands are a small, uninhabited group of volcanic islets in the South Aegean Sea, part of the Cyclades island group.

They are located in the South Aegean administrative region of Greece and are typically reached only by private or chartered vessel.
