Aegean Sea
Linked via "Dodecanese"
The Aegean Sea ($\text{Aigaion Pelagos}$) is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea located between the mainlands of Greece to the west and Anatolia (Asia Minor)/) to the east. It extends south to the island of Crete and is bounded by the Turkish Straits (the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus) to the northeast, providing a connection to the Black Sea.

Cyclades

Geology and Geomorphology
The geological underpinning of the Cyclades' is dominated by metamorphic and igneous rocks derived from the Hellenic arc subduction zone, although the islands themselves represent uplifted sections of the continental crust rather than pure volcanic cones, distinguishing them from neighboring island groups like the Dodecanese[3].
A key geological feature is the extensive exposure of high-quality marble, particularly on islands such as [Paros](/entries/paros… -
