Europe > Aegean Sea

The Aegean Sea is the northeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea; it lies between Greece and Turkey and is bounded on the south by Crete.

Much of the area is covered in our article on the Greek Islands, and Crete has a separate article. For Turkish parts of the Aegean, see Aegean Turkey and Marmara Region.

This article is on an extra-hierarchical region, describing a region that does not fit into the hierarchy Wikivoyage uses to organise most articles. These "extraregion" articles usually provide only basic information and links to articles in the hierarchy. This article can be expanded if the information is specific to the page; otherwise new text should generally go in the appropriate region or city article.
