    Overview

    Yılan Island (Turkish: Yılan Adası, literally Snake Island) is a Mediterranean island in Turkey. It is administratively a part of Kaş ilçe (district) of Antalya Province at 36°12′53″N 29°21′17″E. In the past it was one of the Xenagorou islands (Ancient Greek: Ξεναγόρου νῆσοι). The uninhabited island is a long island where the longer dimension (south west to north east) is over 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). The shortest distance to the main land (Anatolia) is about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi). Sıçan Island, a smaller island is to the north east of Yılan Island. The deep sea to the southern shore of the island is ideal for underwater sports.
