Arginusae
In classical antiquity, the Arginusae 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:
- Baston Islands
- * Garip Island ; Nisída Ázano
- * Kalem Island ; Nikolo, Vráchos Nikolós
- * Kane Peninsula or Promontory, called Argennusa in antiquity, when it was an island; Canaea, Canae, Κάνη
Argennusa was the site of the ancient city of Canae.
The names Arginusae and Argennusa come from Ancient Greek arginóeis, argennóeis, "bright-shining".
