Myrtoan Sea

The Myrtoan Sea lies between the Peloponnese and the Cyclades, south of Attica and Euboea. It connects island and coastal routes with the wider Aegean, while the Saronic Gulf opens toward it from the northwest. Harbours and island anchorages supported travel and exchange across these waters. The surrounding coasts formed part of a broader maritime world in which Venetian and Ottoman powers contested territory during the early modern period.
