The Aegean Sea is named after King Aegeus of Athens, Greece (Hellas) who drowned himself in the sea after believing his son, Theseus, had died during his quest to slay the Minotaur in Crete. When Theseus forgot to hoist a white sail to signal his success, his father, Aegeus, seeing the expected black sail of defeat, threw himself from a cliff into the sea below

The Greek islands have been continuously inhabited by Greeks and have been significant for thousands of years, with human settlement dating back to the Neolithic period (c. 7000 BCE).
Major ancient civilizations like the Greek (Hellenic) Minoan (Crete), Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic, and Greek (Hellenic) Mycenaean cultures flourished on the islands, developing advanced art, architecture, and maritime skills, leaving behind a rich archaeological legacy. Today, the islands remain important cultural and historical centers, attracting visitors for their history, beauty, and unique way of life, like the famously long-lived population on Ikaria.

Some Greek islands are often located off the coasts of modern countries whose shores were already inhabited by Greeks before antiquity, such as the coasts of Asia Minor and northern Epirus. It was only in the 20th century that the displacement of Greek populations led to a change in the ethnic landscape: today, Greek-populated islands are situated near regions now inhabited by other ethnic groups, such as in Asia Minor and Northern Epirus.

The Aegean Sea of Greece (Hellas) is so blue due to a lack of phytoplankton and suspended particles, which allows sunlight to penetrate deep and scatter, reflecting the blue wavelength. Its clear, calm waters and a light-colored seafloor, often made of crushed marble, also contribute to its intense blue hue by reflecting light more effectively. The water itself also absorbs red and yellow light more than blue light, further enhancing the blue appearance, especially in large depths

One of the greatest creations of Greek Aegean civilization is its art, unique in its time, not only in the Aegean but also in the entire world. The austerity and inventiveness that characterize the artist of the Bronze Age are reflected in the artifacts he produces. Since that ancient era, the Aegean has been spiritually charged and is reflected in literature, poetry and art.

The Early Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic II (2700–2400/2300 BC) marks the heyday of the Greek (Hellenic) Cycladic civilization, with the expansion of settlements and cemeteries, the development of metalwork (bronze weapons and tools), the flourishing of marble sculpture (excellent figurines and vases) and an increase in trade exchanges with mainland Greece, Crete and the Aegean. The Early Greek Cycladic III (2300–2000 BC) is the last phase of the civilization, which is characterized by the decline and change in the characteristics of pottery.

The achievements of vase painting during the Early Greek Cycladic II and Early Greek Cycladic III periods and the introduction of polychrome in the decoration of Middle Cycladic vases certainly contributed to the emergence of painting as an important means of artistic expression. Thus, while the Early Cycladic period could be characterized as the century of sculpture for the Cyclades, the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000–1650 BC), -Middle Cycladic- and the early Late Cycladic could justifiably claim the title of the century of great painting.

Το Αιγαίο Πέλαγος πήρε το όνομά του από τον βασιλιά Αιγέα της Αθήνας, ο οποίος πνίγηκε στη θάλασσα επειδή πίστευε ότι ο γιος του, Θησέας, είχε πεθάνει κατά τη διάρκεια της προσπάθειάς του να σκοτώσει τον Μινώταυρο στην Κρήτη. Όταν ο Θησέας ξέχασε να σηκώσει ένα λευκό πανί για να σηματοδοτήσει την επιτυχία του, ο πατέρας του, Αιγέας, βλέποντας το αναμενόμενο μαύρο πανί της ήττας, έπεσε από έναν γκρεμό στη θάλασσα από κάτω.
Τα ελληνικά νησιά κατοικούνται συνεχώς από Ελληνες και είναι σημαντικά εδώ και χιλιάδες χρόνια, με ανθρώπινη εγκατάσταση που χρονολογείται από τη Ελληνικη Νεολιθική περίοδο (περίπου 7000 π.Χ.).

Σημαντικοί αρχαίοι πολιτισμοί όπως ο Μινωικός (Κρήτη), ο Κυκλαδικός και ο Μυκηναϊκός πολιτισμός άκμασαν στα νησιά, αναπτύσσοντας προηγμένες τέχνες, αρχιτεκτονική και ναυτικές δεξιότητες, αφήνοντας πίσω τους μια πλούσια αρχαιολογική κληρονομιά. Σήμερα, τα νησιά παραμένουν σημαντικά πολιτιστικά και ιστορικά κέντρα, προσελκύοντας επισκέπτες για την ιστορία, την ομορφιά και τον μοναδικό τρόπο ζωής τους, όπως ο περίφημος μακρόβιος πληθυσμός στην Ικαρία.
Ορισμένα ελληνικά νησιά βρίσκονται συχνά στα ανοικτά των ακτών σύγχρονων χωρών των οποίων οι ακτές κατοικούνταν ήδη από Έλληνες πριν από την αρχαιότητα, όπως οι ακτές της Μικράς Ασίας και της Βόρειας Ηπείρου. Μόλις τον 20ό αιώνα ο διωγμος των ελληνικών πληθυσμών οδήγησε σε αλλαγή στο εθνοτικό τοπίο: σήμερα, τα νησιά με ελληνικό πληθυσμό βρίσκονται κοντά σε περιοχές που τώρα κατοικούνται από άλλες εθνοτικές ομάδες, όπως στη Μικρά Ασία και τη Βόρεια Ήπειρο.

Το Αιγαίο Πέλαγος της Ελλάδας είναι τόσο μπλε λόγω της έλλειψης φυτοπλαγκτού και αιωρούμενων σωματιδίων, γεγονός που επιτρέπει στο ηλιακό φως να διεισδύει βαθιά και να διασκορπίζεται, αντανακλώντας το μπλε μήκος κύματος. Τα καθαρά, ήρεμα νερά του και ο ανοιχτόχρωμος βυθός του, συχνά φτιαγμένος από θρυμματισμένο μάρμαρο, συμβάλλουν επίσης στην έντονη μπλε απόχρωση του, αντανακλώντας το φως πιο αποτελεσματικά. Το ίδιο το νερό απορροφά επίσης το κόκκινο και το κίτρινο φως περισσότερο από το μπλε φως, ενισχύοντας περαιτέρω την μπλε εμφάνιση, ειδικά σε μεγάλα βάθη.
Ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα δημιουργήματα του ελληνικού πολιτισμού του Αιγαίου είναι η τέχνη του, μοναδική στην εποχή του, όχι μόνο στο Αιγαίο αλλά και σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Η λιτότητα και η ευρηματικότητα που χαρακτηρίζουν τον καλλιτέχνη της Εποχής του Χαλκού αντικατοπτρίζονται στα αντικείμενα που παράγει. Από εκείνη την αρχαία εποχή, το Αιγαίο είναι πνευματικά φορτισμένο και αντικατοπτρίζεται στη λογοτεχνία, την ποίηση και την τέχνη.

Η Πρώιμη Κυκλαδική II (2700–2400/2300 π.Χ.) σηματοδοτεί την ακμή του κυκλαδικού πολιτισμού, με την επέκταση των οικισμών και των νεκροταφείων, την ανάπτυξη της μεταλλοτεχνίας (χάλκινα όπλα και εργαλεία), την άνθηση της μαρμάρινης γλυπτικής (εξαιρετικά ειδώλια και αγγεία) και την αύξηση των εμπορικών ανταλλαγών με την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα, την Κρήτη και το Αιγαίο. Η Πρώιμη Κυκλαδική ΙΙΙ (2300–2000 π.Χ.) είναι η τελευταία φάση του πολιτισμού, η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται από την παρακμή και την αλλαγή στα χαρακτηριστικά της κεραμικής.
Τα επιτεύγματα της αγγειογραφίας κατά την Πρώιμη Κυκλαδική ΙΙ και την Πρώιμη Κυκλαδική ΙΙΙ περίοδο και η εισαγωγή της πολυχρωμίας στη διακόσμηση των Μεσοκυκλαδικών αγγείων σίγουρα συνέβαλαν στην ανάδειξη της ζωγραφικής ως σημαντικού μέσου καλλιτεχνικής έκφρασης. Έτσι, ενώ η Πρώιμη Κυκλαδική περίοδος θα μπορούσε να χαρακτηριστεί ως ο αιώνας της γλυπτικής για τις Κυκλάδες, η Μέση Εποχή του Χαλκού (περ. 2000–1650 π.Χ.), η -Μεσοκυκλαδική- και η πρώιμη Ύστερη Κυκλαδική θα μπορούσαν δικαιολογημένα να διεκδικήσουν τον τίτλο του αιώνα της μεγάλης ζωγραφικής.

Main Ingredients: Sea & Sun
The Aegean Sea and Islands have been shaped by the sun, the sea and the invigorating winds. The local culinary traditions date back to ancient times and they are an intrinsic part of the Aegean Culture. Top quality ingredients wear the aromas of the earth: oregano, thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, lemons, and olive oil. Each island’s microclimate has contributed to the growth of flavourful produce, some of which are unique across the world.
Greens & Aromatic Plants
The Aegean landscape hides fragrant and tasty surprises to visitors who want to explore its rough barren hills and volcanic soil, its olive groves that grow on dry soil and its rocky shores. Savour boiled greens picked from the mountains, sprinkled with olive oil and lemon juice as a side dish to your grilled meat or fish dish. A large variety of aromatic plants and herbs, such as oregano, savory, marjoram and thyme flavour marinades and stews cooked in lemon sauce. Capers and crithmum (rock samphire) are two wild plants that thrive by the seashore and they make some excellent appetizers to enjoy with your tsipouro drink.

Fresh Fish & Seafood Appetizers
Fish can be cooked in various ways as long as you use your imagination… and in this department Greeks fare well. Small or medium sized fish are floured and fried in sizzling olive oil which turns them into crispy treats, sometimes served along with a tasty sourish marinade-sauce called ‘savoro’. To make this sauce locals use olive oil, quality vinegar, rosemary, and oregano – it’s the standard recipe on most of the islands.
On Tinos Island people add petimezi (grape molasses) to their food, which lends their creations a particular flavour. Other dishes you’ll love are: red mullets with a barley rusk crust on Mytilini, Lesvos Island; oven-baked fish with sesame paste (tachini) on Rhodes Island; chub mackerel with capers; grouper stew with onions; kakavia soup (made with rockfish); picarel omelette on Santorini and Syros Islands; a fish pie made with Mediterranean sand smelt on Kimolos Island; stuffed squid with rice or feta cheese, cuttlefish with fennel and olives, to name but a few…
Make sure you also taste some special mezedes (meaning titbits) with your tsipouro or ouzo drink, such as salt-cured sardines from Mytilini, grilled sun-dried chub mackerel (gouna) from Paros Island, a salad with herring roe from Syros Island, marinated anchovies and salt-cured tuna.

Shellfish
Delicious summer teasers!
With the thousands dispersed islands, the deep blue clear seas, and the innumerable leeward bays, Greece is the ideal place for hundreds of shelfish to be found in abundance. Hundreds of species of shellfish reside in the Greek seas. No matter what the geographical variation of their names is, they keep the aromas of the sea well enclosed in their tiny bodies.
Mussels, with their black lustrous colour and the hair between the two shells, are usually attached on rocks in shallow waters. Oysters are stunning like scarlet gems with an iodine scent. Scallops are well-known for their brackish taste and their tender heart well protected by the hard shell.

Pen shells stand on the bottom of the sea – sometimes ajar- on the alert for capturing their food; their allies are two little shrimps that bite their tender parts whenever there is enemy at the gates. With a taste reminiscent of oyster, there are the red and sharp arca shells. Thorny sea urchins encompass gold and red eggs. Sea figs resemble hairy stones in a dark khaki tone. Clams shine in their brownish shell which keeps their skin juicy and delicious.
The sea on your table
Raw or cooked, shellfish reach the top of their taste potential when served with lemon. Here are our suggestions:
Mussels: hot with just a drop of olive oil; fried with feta, oregano and other spices; in souvlaki; in a mussel pilaf.
Clams, oysters, sea figs and arca shells are best when eaten raw with lemon.
Pen shells: when fried they taste like crabs.
Sea urchins provide irresistible delicious salads with a strong sea aroma.
Scallops are wonderful whether grilled, fried, or cooked with pasta on a tomato sauce.

Diving into omega-3’s
Rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, shellfish armour health as they prevent from heart diseases and hypertension, they reduce the effects of diabetes, and they stimulate your libido. What is more, they contain proteins, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, and low-calorie carbohydrates.
Tips for shellfish lovers
Opening a shellfish is a small adventure. The easiest way is to put a knife at the slit between the two shells and twist it softly. Then detach the skin. When it comes to sea urchins, use a knife to open its mouth.
