Antikythera on the checklist
Fewer than a hundred people live here all year, which puts it among the islands the Castaway badge counts.
Antikythera belongs to no archipelago, so it counts toward the 89 and toward the milestone badges, but no region badge covers it — All Seas Sailed leaves the standalone islands out by design.
