Strofades or Strofadia (Greek: Στροφάδες or Στροφάδια) is a group of two small Greek islands in the Ionian Islands. They lie about 44 km (27 mi) south-southeast of the island of Zakynthos. Administratively they are part of the Municipality of Zakynthos. The larger island, Stamfani, has an old fortress/monastery built in 1241. The smaller is Arpia. Both are sparsely vegetated and rocky.[1] There is a strong avian presence on the islands (Which is why hunting has been prohibited). Species include Cory's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) and migratory passerines.
