Garip Island
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2010) |
Garip Island is a small (88 acres) island off the coast of Dikili in İzmir Province, Turkey. It is one of the two small islands, together called the Garip Islands (Turkish: Garip Adaları), at the cut point of Dikili's Bademli Bay. Both islands face the Greek island of Lesbos.
In antiquity these islands, along with a third island that has now joined the mainland, were known as the Arginusae; they were the site of the Battle of Arginusae in 406 BC.
Offered for sale under a single title deed since 2006, the island was sold to a Turkish development group in 2010. There is as yet no construction on the island.
