Scarpanto, along with the southernmost island of Caso, is located on the sea route that connects Rhodes to Crete. The two islands mark the southeastern limit of the Aegean Sea. Scarpanto has a slender and elongated shape and is crossed by a mountain range whose highest point is the top of Mount Lastos (1,215 meters), more generally known as Kalì Limni, the highest elevation of the Dodecanese. In its northern part a very short arm of the sea separates it from the islet of Saria which belongs to it from a geographical and administrative point of view. The resident population is 6,000 inhabitants, a number that triples in the summer months.
