These islands, with their rich cultural heritage, have long been a source of fascination for historians, archaeologists, and travelers alike. This Ottoman map offers a unique perspective on the history of the Izmir region, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the complex interplay of cultures and empires that have shaped this fascinating part of the world.
