Map of all cities & towns founded by the Ancient Greeks

  1. Is that where the city name of Mariupol comes from? It doesn’t sound Ukrainian, but rather Greek. Interesting to see them on the northern coast of the Black Sea.

  2. My own pontic Greek great grandparents were born in two of the dots until they were forced to emigrate 😞

  3. Its missing some colonies for Croatia. Like Issa, on the island of Vis, established by Greeks from Syracuse, or Epidaurus, modern day city of Cavtat.

  4. Why highlight the modern state of Greece? These were not necessarily the borders of the ancient greek realm.
