Tongo Island is an island on the Ionian Sea, in southern Albania, near the border with Greece.
Tongo is a small rocky island located at the entrance to the bay of Ftelia, on the southernmost end of the Albanian Ionian coast. Situated at a distance of 300m (1,000feet) from the coast, it has a length of 250m (820feet), a width of 100m (300feet) and a total surface area of 2.5ha.
In the south-east of the island, about 50m (160feet) away from its shore, the state border of Albania with Greece passes. The island is rich in aquatic life and can easily be explored by boat.[1]
