Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io are larger than Luna (our moon). In fact, Ganymede and Titan are larger than the planet Mercury.

But our moon is unique in being so large in comparison to the size of the "mother planet". I've seen it remarked that the earth and moon would be deemed a double planet if observed ( hypothetically ) from a distant solar system.
