Chrysi or Chrisi (Greek: Χρυσή, romanized: Chrysí, lit. 'golden'; also known as Gaidouronisi, Greek: Γαϊδουρονήσι, romanized: Gaïdouronísi, lit. 'donkey island') is an uninhabited Greek island approximately 15 kilometres (9 miles) south of Crete close to Ierapetra in the Libyan Sea.[1] Approximately 700 metres (2,300 feet) east of the island is the island of Mikronisi. Administratively these islands fall within the Ierapetra municipality in Lasithi.
It contains a small harbour and church, the Church of Saint Nicholas, on its northwestern coast.
