Dreamy Aegean Sea

The Aegean Sea (; Greek: Αιγαίο Πέλαγος [eˈʝeo ˈpelaɣos] is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the Greek and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey. In the north, the Aegean is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosphorus. The Aegean Islands are within the sea and some bound it on its southern periphery, including Crete and Rhodes.
