The Rabbit Islands (Turkish: Tavşan adaları or Karayer adaları; Greek: Λαγούσες or Μαυρυές νήσοι[1][2]) are a group of small uninhabited Turkish islands in the northern Aegean Sea.
The largest islet of the group, called Tavşan adası or Rabbit Island proper, is some 2 kilometres (1 mi) long and 600 metres (1,969 ft) wide.
To its south are three small rocky islets called Pırasa, Orak and Yılan.
[3] The Rabbit Islands gained some political and strategic significance in the early 20th century, because their territorial waters are important for the control of the entrance to the Dardanelles.
