The Aegean Islands are the group of islands in the Aegean Sea, with mainland Greece to the west and north and Turkey to the east; the island of Crete delimits the sea to the south, those of Rhodes, Karpathos and Kasos to the southeast. The ancient Greek name of the Aegean Sea, Archipelago was later applied to the islands it contains and is now used more generally, to refer to any island group. The vast majority of the Aegean Islands belong to Greece, being split among nine administrative peripheries. The only sizable possessions of Turkey in the Aegean Sea are Imbros and Tenedos, in the northeastern end of the Sea. Turkish islands also include various smaller islets off Turkey's western coast. The Aegean Islands are traditionally subdivided into seven groups, from north to south: ▪ Northeastern Aegean Islands ▪ Sporades ▪ Euboea ▪ Argo-Saronic Islands ▪ Cyclades ▪ Dodecanese ▪ Crete The term Italian Aegean Islands is sometimes used to refer to the Aegean islands conquered by Italy during the Italo-Turkish War in 1912 and annexed from 1923 until 1947: the Dodecanese, including Rhodes and Kastellorizo.
