Historical Description | The Aegean is considered the cradle of two great ancient civilizations, the Minoan culture and that of Ancient Greece. Later, the Aegean was ruled by the Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Genoese, Venetians and Ottomans. In ancient times, the Aegean islands, of which Crete and - by some distance - Lesbos are the largest, were a source of cultural development, with a particular focus on seafaring, trade and the transfer of knowledge. The combination of different cultures of the eastern Mediterranean region was favored by the geographical conditions.b |
