About the Greek Islands
The Greek Islands were the birthplace of Apollo (on Delos Island) and of many famous Aegean Bronze Age (1600 - 1100 B.C.) cultures. Epic tales of this period were made famous in Greek Mythology and the Iliad and Odyssey writings of Homer. This was the time when the mysterious Minoan civilization settled in Crete, most likely originating from modern day Turkey (today we still cannot decipher their language or writings). Successful traders, the Minoans eventually gave way to the Mycenaean civilization from mainland Greece. The cause of the downfall of the Minoans is largely speculative, but most sources agree they were weakened by a catastrophic volcanic eruption on the island of Thera (Santorini), between 1500-1200 B.C.
Fast forward to the 21st Century and you will find that each day of sailing and visiting these islands brings a new adventure. Hiking, snorkeling and simply relaxing are favoured activities, as are exploring ancient archaeological sites and taverna-lined harbours or dining on delicious Greek cuisine, accompanied by the local drink - Ouzo!
