Seskli
Seskli (
Ancient Greek: Τεύτλουσα).[1] There can be no doubt that is the same island that Pliny the Elder called Scutlusa.[2]
On the island, there are archaeological findings from many different periods in history, including findings dating back to the late
Neolithic period.[3]
During the Peloponnesian War, the Athenian fleet under the general Charminus retreated to the island after its defeat from the Spartan fleet under Astyochus, and then fled to Halicarnassus.[4]
The island is also mentioned by Pliny the Elder.[5]
