Legend 1
Qin is a famous Greek harpist. According to legend, her piano music can calm Poseidon in anger; According to legend, her piano can make the jealous Hera tolerant; According to legend, her piano music can make gloomy Hades get a happy smile.
The young king sent a special envoy for her name. But Chin turned down his invitation mercilessly. Chin said that she would not play the piano for a king who was supercilious and only cared about his own enjoyment.
The messenger told her words to the king intact, but who would have thought that the king actually smiled after listening. The next morning, the female officials in the palace found that the king had disappeared, but they all smiled and walked away as if nothing had happened.
As they thought and expected, the king came to the place where Qin was.
Under the guidance of the wonderful piano sound, he met a girl who admired him next to the olive planted by Athena. The breeze gently brushed her delicate face, and the nightingale stood on her shoulder and sang with her. The flowers wrapped around her fingertips and drifted away with the notes.
Joan suddenly felt a burning light around her. She looked up and met eyes more beautiful than the sky and more dazzling than the deep sea. For a time, they only saw each other and ignored all directions.
From that day on, the king would always leave the palace quietly every morning, and Qin would take his beloved harp to a mysterious place every morning.
The development of things is better than the story. The love between Qin and Wang was not banned by the royal family. With the blessing of the people and all the nobles, Qin was brought into the court.
When everyone thought they would be as perfect as a fairy tale, the darkest curse from hell came to them.
The friendly neighbor suddenly launched a terrible war. For the safety of the people, the king had to go to the battlefield at once. He left his beloved girl on his wedding night.
Qin went to the place where he dated every day to play the piano for the distant king, but he was killed in the battle. She is so strong that there is no chance for tears to overflow her eyes. Gene put on the king's bloody clothes that day and directed the cruel battlefield with his fingers plucking the strings.
At the moment when the whole country celebrated the victory, under the cloudless sky in Wan Li, the king's shirt on the piano knee was soaked with glittering and translucent water drops.
Every night, Qin will play the piano in the night sky, and she hopes Wang Neng in the sky can hear it. And she collects scattered dew everywhere every morning, and she knows that it is the king's response to her love.
Finally, many years later, until the day when she slept forever and never woke up, people poured the dew collected by the piano into her sleeping place.
On the last landing, a miracle happened. A clear spring gushed from Chin's grave and hugged her body. From spring to stream, from stream to river, from river to ocean.
Since then, Greece has had a clear sea. People call it "Aegean Sea". ?
Legend 2
In ancient times, there was a king named Minos who ruled Crete, an island in the Aegean Sea. Minos' son was murdered in Atticus, Athens. In order to avenge his son, Minos challenged the people of Athens. Under God's punishment, Athens was full of famine and plague. Under the challenge of Minos, the Athenians made peace with King Minos. Minos asked them to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years.
Minos built a maze with countless palaces in Crete. The roads in the maze were tortuous and no one could enter. In the depths of the maze, Minos raised a Minoan, a beast with a bull's head. Athens sent seven pairs of men and women at a time, all of which were dedicated to Minos cattle.
This year is a year of worshipping boys and girls. The parents of both boys and girls were frightened. Theseus, the son of Aegean, the king of Athens, was deeply disturbed to see people suffer such misfortune. He was determined to set out with the boys and girls and vowed to kill Minos cattle.
The people of Athens bid farewell to seven pairs of boys and girls, including theseus, in sad cries. Theseus and his father agreed that if he killed MINO, he would turn black sails on the boat into a white sail when he came back. As long as black sails on the ship turns white, it proves that King Aegean can see his son theseus again.
Theseus led the virgins ashore in Crete. His handsomeness attracted the attention of the beautiful and clever princess Ariadne, the daughter of King Mysius. He fell in love with the princess at first sight and secretly met him. When she knew theseus's mission, she gave him a magic sword and a ball of thread to prevent theseus from being hurt by MINO.
As soon as the clever and brave theseus entered the maze, he tied one end of the thread ball to the entrance of the maze, then let go of the thread ball and walked along the tortuous and complicated passage to the depths of the maze. Finally, he finally found the monster minotaur. He grabbed the horn of Minos bull and tried to kill it with the sword given by Princess Ariadne. Then, he took the boys and girls and walked out of the maze along the route. In order to prevent the pursuit of King Minos, they cut through the bottoms of all Crete ships at the seaside.
Princess Ariadne helped them, escaped from Crete with them, and then separated from him. (It is said that the princess didn't go back to China with them, so theseus was depressed and forgot to hang the white sail) and set sail for home. After a few days of sailing, I finally saw my motherland Athens again. Theseus and his partner were singing and dancing with excitement, but he forgot his agreement with his father and didn't change black sails into a white sail.
The Aegean king, waiting for his son's return, is waiting for his son's return at the seaside. When he saw that the returning ship was still carrying black sails, he thought that his son had been eaten by a cow in MINO. He was heartbroken and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. In memory of the king of the Aegean Sea, he jumped into Na Pianhai, and this place has been called the Aegean Sea ever since.

Island information
The coastline of the Aegean Sea is very tortuous, with many harbors and about 2,500 islands. The islands in the Aegean Sea can be divided into seven islands: Thrace Sea Islands, East Aegean Islands, spola Islands in the north, cyclades and Saskatchewan Islands (also known as Argo-Saskatchewan Islands). Dodd, kanis and Crete.
Many islands or island chains in the Aegean Sea are actually extensions of mountains on land. One island chain extends to Shio, another extends to Samos via Evio, and the other extends from Peloponnesus via Crete to Rhode Island. It is this island chain that separates the Aegean Sea from the Mediterranean Sea. Many islands have good ports, but in ancient times, sailing in the Aegean Sea was not very safe. Many islands are volcanic islands with marble and iron ore.
aegean islands
Aegean Island is the closest island to Athens. What really made the Aegean Sea famous was the rescue of Salamis, Greece. The temple of Afia, built on the island at the end of the 6th century BC and the beginning of the 5th century BC, is a typical representative building in the late classical Greece.
hydra
Izra Island is about three hours' flight from Athens. In the slender and clean alleys of the island, donkeys leisurely carry tourists. White walls, blue windows and pink roofs make the island more lovely. Clusters of red flowers and purple flowers appear from time to time in the small courtyard, and the lemon trees are covered with bright yellow lemon fruits, which are so heavy that the branches are bent. The transparency of seawater here is the highest, and there are many estuaries and bays on the coast that go deep into the island. These secluded estuaries are good places for tourists who like to swim alone.
18 ~ 19 century, the maritime trade in Izra was very developed, and many businessmen were very rich. In the War of Independence, which started at 182 1, they armed their own fleet and actively participated in the battle, making great contributions. Until now, Izra is still an island of heroes in the eyes of the Greeks. There are many luxury houses on the island, which are the property of these wealthy businessmen and one of the scenery on the island.
Because the island is quiet and beautiful, young artists from all over the world have come here to engage in artistic creation since ancient times, so it is called "the island of artists". Their gold and silver jewelry, glass and porcelain, decorations are all put out for anyone to buy, and they often see some reasonable and unique handicrafts.
10 euro can buy a very chic hand-painted glass bottle, and the little girl who sells things smiles very pure. "This glass bottle is really good and the price is the best. I bought some for my mother's birthday. " The last sentence of the little girl touched me. I bought the hydra island on the glass, which is pure in nature and pure in person.
All cars and motorcycles are forbidden to enter this island, which is probably one of the reasons why people like this place.
Poros i.
Boros Island is a beautiful mountain city on the island, dotted with the green of lemon trees and olive trees, and covered with clear and bright white eaves. The buildings on the island are mainly white with Gu Zhuo style. In the atmosphere of white walls, brilliant flowers appear from time to time. In the sea of clouds and waves, a tunnel paved with slate winds up, gradually drifting away and extending to the depths of historical memory.
At dusk, colorful ships set sail under the white city standing on the wall, reminiscent of Agamemnon's fleet. Overlooking the Peloponnesus, where are the hot springs? Where are Leonidas and his 300 warriors?
Senduyuni i.
It takes about 5 hours from Michelangelo Island to Xindu Yuni Island by boat. Only after I arrived did I know that many travel brochures and travel agencies recommended Michelangelo and Sendu Yun Ni as the first choice for tourists.
A volcanic eruption 3500 years ago shook a big hole in the island. A crescent-shaped island has become the main island, and there are several small islands around it. Among them, Ni Mei, Nayaka is still an active volcano.
The fairy city of Yun Ni Island is built on the top of a crescent-shaped island.
Crete
Crete is the largest island in the ocean, with an area of over 8,000 square kilometers? Long and narrow from east to west, it is the barrier of the southern Aegean Sea. Crete has a large area of fertile farmland, but other islands are relatively barren. Most Aegean islands belong to Greece on the west coast, and a few belong to Turkey on the east coast.
Egina i.
Egina is the nearest island to Athens. This used to be a beautiful fairyland on earth, and Zeus' most touching mistress was hidden here. Maybe the fig trees all over the mountains are the fruits of their love. What really made Egina famous was the rescue of Salamis. The temple of Afia, built on the island at the end of the 5th century BC and the beginning of the 6th century BC, is a typical representative building in the late classical Greece.
Mykonos Island
Mykonos Island, marked by windmills, is synonymous with Aegean Islands.
Mykonos is one of the Kiklaze Islands in southern Greece and one of the most famous holiday islands in the Aegean Sea. There are few residents on the island, and it is quite quiet during the non-tourist time of about half a year. After April, the tourist season began, and tourists from all over the world came to the island like migratory birds to enjoy the sunshine and beaches in the Mediterranean.
During the day, the beach in the bay is a good place for people to swim and sunbathe.
No wonder some restaurants are simply called "Sunset Restaurant". People drink and chat leisurely here. When the dazzling sunshine slowly turned into an orange-red fireball and fell from the horizon, the sunset watchers cheered on the sunny beach to end the day. Subsequently, the hot spots of tourists moved to downtown areas with many shops.
Best tourist season
The best tourist season in the Aegean Sea is from April to 65438+ 10 every year, and spring and summer are the most beautiful times at the seaside. At this time, tourists can wander in the blue ocean in swimsuits, let the crystal clear seawater beat their ankles, and the sea breeze blows the olive trees on the shore. It is a wonderful thing for people on the beach to enjoy the peace from heaven calmly. You can also arrange time according to the tourists' own preferences and swim in the dreamy beauty of the "multi-island sea".
Affected by climate factors, July and August are the hottest months in the Aegean Sea, but they are also the time with the most tourists. At this time, the Aegean Sea is clear and sunny, and people like to enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine bath by the Aegean Sea.
The Aegean Sea also has a wonderful title: "the sea of wine and color". In spring and summer, under the sunshine, the Aegean sea presents a crystal clear color with a bright golden yellow. When the sun sets, the sea will turn purple, like wine in a cup, which will bring people a refreshing feeling under the midsummer sky.
