Antikythera (Aigilia)

Antikythera, sometimes known as Anticythera, is a Greek island located between Crete and Peloponnese in the Aegean Sea. The island was known as Aigilia in antiquity. The island has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. It has been ruled by various powers throughout history, including the Romans, the Byzantines, the Venetians, and the Ottomans.
