The Laousses archipelago (also Lagouses, Greek Λαγούσες ) consists of five uninhabited islets that belong to the municipality of Aegina on the island of the same name and municipality in the Saronic Gulf .

  • Kordeliaris
  • Makronisos ('Big Island')
  • Lagousaki (Panagitsa)
  • Gaidaros ('donkey')
  • Lagousa (Eleousa)

They adjoin the Diapories archipelago to the east and lie about halfway between Salamis in the north and Aegina in the south in the Saronic Gulf . Most ferry services from Piraeus cross past the islands. Eleousa is the largest island in the group with 0.176 km². The islands have only sparse vegetation.
