How to read this map
The Aegean Sea covers about 214,000 km² (82,600 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 2,100 m (6,890 ft). Countries with a coast on the Aegean Sea: Greece and Turkey.
The blue outline marks the Aegean Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Istanbul, Athens, İzmir, Bursa, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Skopje and İzmit. Labeled countries: Greece and Bulgaria.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Aegean Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Aegean Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
