At the past it was one of the Xenagorou islands (Ancient Greek: Ξεναγόρου νῆσοι).[2][3]

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).Sıçam 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.[4]
