Skopelos


Skopelos is located in the western Aegean sea. The island belongs to the group of the Northern Sporades, together with, among others, Alonnisos, Skiathos and Skyros.

Souda and Leon

Souda and Leon are two islets in Souda Bay on the northwest coast of Crete.

Souda island's location is strategic because it offers the control of the entrance to the anchorage of Souda Bay. So it was fortified by the Venetians. Despite the fact that the rest of Crete fell to Ottoman control in the Cretan War (1645–1669), the fortress of Souda remained in Venetian hands until 1715, when it finally fell to the Ottomans. During this time, the island served as a refuge for Cretan rebels.

Symi

Symi is part of the Dodecannese island chain, it is located 41km north-northwest of Rhodes. Its main town, commonly referred to by the same name as the island itself, is divided in two parts: the harbour side one, called Gialós, and another one in the hills, called Chorió.
