Paximadia
Paximadia ((ギリシア語:Παξιμάδια), "rusks") are two small uninhabited islands in the gulf of Mesara located approximately south of Agia Galini in Rethymno regional unit. They are in the Libyan Sea next to the southern coast of Crete. Due to their close proximity to one another, the two islands appear as one from a distance. ==Name== Locals often refer to the islands as ''Elephantaki'' because it looks like a baby elephant that is lying down, in the water, with its trunk facing west. The name attributed to the islands today is due to their resembling dry Cretan biscuit known as ''Paximadi'' (the plural being ''Paximadia''). In ancient Crete they were also known as ''Dionysioi'' after the god Dionysus and also as ''Letoai'' after the goddess Leto who was worshipped at Phaistos, where she was also known as ''Fitii'' in ancient times.
