Koufonisi (Crete)

Koufonisi (Greek: Κουφονήσι, known as Leuce in antiquity) is an uninhabited Greek islet, located 3 nautical miles south of cape Goudero on the coast of Lasithi, eastern Crete, in the Libyan Sea. The island is roughly long and across. It has an entire surface area of . It forms a close group of islands with Makroulo, Marmaro, Strongyli, and Trachilos.
Ancient ruins cover the island and can be dated from the Minoan civilisation and the post-Byzantine era when some of the caves were used as chapels during Christian persecution by the Ottomans. Due to the wealth of archaeology the island has been described as "a little Dilos".〔() Islands in Eastern Crete: Koufonisi or Leyki Island in Makrigialos, by Papadakis, Archaeologist (1983).〕
During the summer, the island is visited by tour boats from the port of Makrigialos approximately away.
==Sponge fishing and purple dye==
In ancient times ''Leuce'' was important for sponge fishing and for the production of a purple dye made from the gastropod Murex trunculus. The purple dye was a valuable commodity in ancient Greece and was worth its weight in solid silver.〔
