Psyttaleia ((ギリシア語:Ψυττάλεια)) is an uninhabited island in the Saronic Gulf a few miles off the coast of Piraeus, Greece. It covers an area of 0.375 square kilometers.

==History==
In 480 BC, before the naval battle of Salamis, the Persians installed in the island a garrison of soldiers and noblemen. After the Greek victory, the Persian fleet retreated towards Phaliron and the guard was abandoned. Aristides, the Athenian strategos (general), landed on the island and executed all the Persians. From the Middle Ages until recently the island was called ''Lipsokoutali'' 〔F.A. Paley, The Tragedies of Aeschylus, ''ad'' ΠΕΡΣΑΙ 449〕 (Λειψοκουτάλι - lit. ''half-spoon'') because it resembled a half-spoon when seen from the Aegaleo mountain. In modern history, the island was briefly transformed into a naval prison, in accordance with the French model of the time, as well as place of exile for political dissidents.
