Astola Island, also known as Jezira Haft Talar or 'Island of the Seven Hills', is a small uninhabited Pakistani island in the Arabian Sea and is Pakistan's largest offshore island. It is part of the Pasni subdistrict of Gwadar District in Balochistan province.
The earliest mention of Astola is in Arrian's account of Admiral Nearchos, who was dispatched by Alexander the Great to explore the coast of the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf in 325 BCE. The sailors in Nearchos's fleet were "frightened at the weird tales told about an uninhabited island, which Arrian calls Nosala.
The island consists of a large tilted plateau and a series of seven small hillocks (hence the local name "Haft Talar" or "Seven Hills"). There are several natural caves and coves on the island.
