Aegean Sea is a tourist attraction belonging to Greece.

Aegean Sea is a big bay in the eastern Mediterranean, located between Greece and Turkey in the northeast Mediterranean. Santorini Island is an island in the Aegean Sea and belongs to Greece. Santorini Island was called Scylla Island in ancient times, and was later renamed santorini Island in 1207 to commemorate Setilin. It is a well-known island in the Aegean Sea, and it is the southernmost island in cyclades, with a distance of 0 nautical miles from Athens 1 10.

Santorini Island consists of three small islands, two of which are inhabited, and the 1 island in the middle is a sleeping volcanic island. There have been many volcanic eruptions here in history, and the most serious one occurred in 1500 BC. The center of the island collapsed in a large area, and the original round island presented today's crescent shape. Ferra, the capital of santorini Island, is located on the west coast of the island.

Shipwreck Bay in Aegean Sea is the most famous scenic spot in Zakingsos, Greece. 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis crashed and ran aground here while transporting cigarettes, hence the name "shipwreck bay". Between the steep cliff, clear blue sea water and white sand beach, an old rusty iron boat is lying skillfully, which brings great visual shock to tourists.

The origin of the Aegean sea:

Legend has it that in Minos' palace, there is a monster who is half man and half cow guarding the palace. Every year, the Athenians will offer it seven pairs of men and women as sacrifices. People dare to be angry and dare not speak. There was a brave young man, theseus, who made up his mind to get rid of this demon for people. He discussed with his father, Aegean, to mix seven couples to subdue this monster. The father is worried about his son's safety. He and his son agreed to hang black sails on the boat when they left, and put on alum when they came back if they won. If he is still black sails, it means that his son is dead.

Hissas succeeded in subduing the monster, but he couldn't get out of the maze. The princess of Minoan dynasty fell in love with him and helped him escape. The two managed to escape, but on the way back, the princess suddenly died of illness, and Hisas was heartbroken. I forgot to change black sails into alum in my sadness. Father looked into the distance from time to time on the cliff. Seeing black sails, he only knew that his son was dead and jumped into the sea in despair. From then on, in order to commemorate him, people named the ocean after him-Aegean Sea.
