The Icarian Sea is a distinct subdivision of the Mediterranean Sea, situated between the Cyclades and the region of Asia Minor. It is geographically defined as the portion of the Aegean Sea located south of Chios, east of the Eastern Cyclades, and west of the Anatolian coast.
This maritime region encompasses several significant islands, including Samos, Cos, Patmos, Leros, Fournoi Korseon, and Icaria. Its location makes it a vital part of the Aegean archipelago, serving as a bridge between the islands of Greece and the mainland of modern-day Turkey.
