The
Aegean Sea (Greek: Aigaion Pelagos) is an arm
of the Mediterranean Sea, located between the Greek
peninsula and Anatolia (Asia Minor, now part of Turkey).
The Aegean islands can be simply divided into four groups:
North East Aegean, Sporades, the
Cyclades, and Dodecanese. The word archipelago was originally applied specifically to
these islands. Many of the islands have safe harbours and
bays, but navigation through the sea is generally difficult.
