Navarone Island is a fictional island portrayed in a novel by Alistair MacLean entitled The Guns of Navarone. The novel was made into a movie, but the film changed some of the geography of the island.[1] Although Navarone does not exist, its history is based on the real history of the Aegean Islands of Greece.
