Kinaros (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Κίναρος), is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea, named after the artichoke (κίναρα; kinara) which it produced.^{[2] [3]} It is located west of Kalymnos and Leros, east of Amorgos, and 5.5 nautical miles west-southwest of Levitha.^[4] It is the second westernmost island of the Dodecanese after Astypalea, and has an area of 4.5 km². The island's highest point is 296m. It was noted by several ancient authors including Pliny the Elder, Pomponius Mela, and Athenaeus.^[5]
