Administratively, the island is a part of Dikili ilçe (district) of İzmir Province at 9°0′12″N 26°47′42″E / 9.00333°N 26.79500°E / 9.00333; 26.79500.

The island and Garip Island to the west were known as two of the three Arginusae islands (Greek: Ἀργινούσαι Arginóusai) in antiquity (the third island Canae is now a peninsula).

The naval battle of Arginusae was fought around Kalem island in 406 B.C.
