Arginusae
In classical antiquity, the Arginusae ( Arginóusai; also Ἀργινούσσαι Arginóussai) were three islands off the Dikili Peninsula on the coast of modern-day Turkey, famous as the site of the Battle of Arginusae. They were also collectively referred to as Canaea after the city of Canae on the largest island. Today two of the islands remain, while the third and largest has become attached to the mainland as a promontory near the modern village of Bademli:
- Garip Island (, literally "Strange Island")
- Kalem Island (, literally "Pen Island")
- Kane Peninsula or Promontory , called Argennusa (; ) in antiquity, when it was an island
Argennusa was the site of the ancient city of Canae.
The names Arginusae and Argennusa come from Ancient Greek arginóeis, argennóeis (ἀργινόεις, ἀργεννόεις), "bright-shining".
