Aegean Islands
Linked via "Santorini"
The Dodecanese: A chain situated closer to the Anatolian coast, showing a high frequency of limestone formations intermixed with Miocene volcanic strata. The porosity of these rocks is exceptionally high, often leading to surface rivers that vanish entirely within a few kilometers of their origin, a phenomenon locals refer to as 'subterranean evaporation' [3].
The Sporades: Generally greener and mor… -
Minoan Period
Linked via "Santorini"

While the immediate coastal regions suffered tsunami damage, the long-term effects included widespread atmospheric veil disruption, leading to a temporary, localized failure in the ability of high-quality carnelian to achieve its characteristic reddish hue, causing widespread … -
