Sphacteria (Template:Langx - Sfaktiria)[1] also known as Sphagia (Σφαγία)[2] is a small island at the entrance to the bay of Pylos in the Peloponnese, Greece. It was the site of three battles:
- the 425 BC Battle of Sphacteria in the Peloponnesian War.[3]
- the 1825 AD Battle of Sphacteria in the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire
- the 1827 AD Battle of Navarino, also in the Greek War of Independence
The shipwreck of the Irenes Serenade took place near the island in 1980.
