Avgo (Greek: Αυγό, "egg"), is an uninhabited Greek islet, in the Aegean Sea, 30 km (19 mi) north of the eastern coast of Crete. Administratively it lies within the Neapoli municipality of Lasithi. The islet has also been the target of naval bombardment drills, notably by the American battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) in the 1980s.
