I was just watching a TV documentary series called 'Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage.' The shows presenter is a person called Francesco Di Mosto, an Italian from Venice. The premise of the show is about sailing voyage he makes following the old Venetian trade routes from Venice to Istanbul.
Anyway, he makes a stopover at the Greek island of Naxos and a large population of the island turns out to be of Italian (Venetian descent). Therefore I was wondering, how many more islands in the Aegean have Italian populations. The fact is, several of the islands I can think of still bear Italian names such as;
Atalanta
Kastelorizo
Lagousa
Santorini
Spinalonga
