Aegean Sea: general information
The Aegean Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with a large number of islands (about 2000) in the eastern Mediterranean, between the Balkan Peninsula, Asia Minor and the island of Crete. The Aegean Sea is one of the cradles of antiquity, ancient Greek and later Byzantine civilizations. Washes the shores of modern Greece and Turkey. The southeastern part of the Aegean Sea is called the Ikarian Sea.

Surface water temperature in winter + 11 ... + 15 ° C, in summer + 22 ... + 25 ° C. Due to global warming, sea water temperature and salinity are constantly increasing. At a depth of more than 350 m, the water temperature does not change throughout the year (+ 12 ... + 13 ° C).
