The Aegean Sea (/ᵻˈdʒiːən/; Greek: Αιγαίο Πέλαγος [eˈʝeo ˈpelaɣos]; Turkish: Ege Denizi Turkish pronunciation: [e̞ɟe̞ de̞n̪iz̪i]) is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the Greek and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey. In the north, it is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosporus. The Aegean Islands are within the sea and some bound it on its southern periphery, including Crete and Rhodes.
The sea was traditionally known as Archipelago (in Greek, Αρχιπέλαγος, meaning "chief sea"), but in English this word's meaning has changed to refer to the Aegean Islands and, generally, to any island group.
In ancient times, there were various explanations for the name Aegean. It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or after Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the "sea goat", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.
Aphrodite's Child was a Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards), Demis Roussos (bass guitar and vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Silver Koulouris (guitar).
Papathanassiou and Roussos had already been successful in Greece (playing in the bands Formynx and Idols respectively) when they got together with Sideras and Koulouris (born 26 January 1947, Piraeus, Greece) to form a new band. Their band's name was derived from the title of a track from another Mercury act, Dick Campbell, from his Sings Where It's At album.
Their first recording as a band was for George Romanos' album In Concert and in Studio where they played on four songs and were credited as "Vangelis and his Orchestra". In the same year they recorded a two-song demo and submitted it to Philips Records. It was probably Vangelis' idea that the still-anonymous band should be relocated to London, which would be a more suitable environment for their music, as their country had entered a right-wing dictatorship in 1967. This decision, however, was not problem-free. Koulouris had to stay in Greece to fulfill his military service, while the band, on their way to London, got stuck in Paris partly because they did not have the correct work permits and partly because of the strikes associated with the May 1968 events.

Travel video about destination Dodecanese in Turkey. Dodecanese is the name of a group of Greek islands that is located in the southeast of the Aegean Sea just off the Turkish coast. It warrants more than its name of ‘Twelve Islands’, as it contains more than 19 inhabited and around 50 small uninhabited islands.Kos is the green pearl of the Aegean, a historic oasis beneath the Greek sun. Not the largest of the Dodecanese Islands but certainly one of its most fascinating. The capital of the island is Chora Kos. Following their arrival from Jerusalem in the 14th century, the Order of the Knights of Malta built a huge fortified complex in the town.The city’s spacious square is surrounded by numerous buildings plus a museum. There are stone busts and statues of the Roman and Hellenistic eras t...

Bin ich stark bin ich schwach hab ich Mut
Bin ich frei
Gibst mir nichts an das ich glaub
Bin ich dein bist du mein
Fühlst du auch unsre Zeit läuft langsam aus
Sag mir wie's um uns steht
War alles Schein lass mich rein
In unsre Welt die sonst zerfällt
Was immer ich auch tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an, denn ganz egal was ich tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Du machst die Augen zu
Siehst du nicht dieses Meer über uns
Ich hab Angst
Und wir treiben ohne Land in Sicht
Hab versucht deinen Blick zu verstehn
Könnt ich nur durch deine Augen sehn
Sag mir wie's weiter geht
Wo solln wir hin
Alles Land ist verraten und verbrannt
Egal was ich auch tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an, denn ganz egal was ich tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Tausend mal gestrandet ohne dich
Tausend Straßen ohne Ziel
Doch du kommst niemals an
Was immer ich auch tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Tausend Fragen drehn sich nur um dich
Was soll ich tun mein Engel wann siehst du mich
Ich fleh dich an denn ganz egal was ich tu
Du machst die Augen zu
Du machst die Augen zu
