What is the name of the sea that lies between Turkey and Greece?

The sea between Turkey and Greece is the Aegean Sea. This northeastern part of the Mediterranean lies between the Greek mainland and islands to the west and the Anatolian coast of Turkey to the east.

The Aegean is an island-rich sea containing groups such as the Cyclades, Sporades, Dodecanese, and North Aegean Islands. Crete and Rhodes help define its southern extent. To the northeast, the Dardanelles connect it with the Sea of Marmara and, through the Bosporus, the Black Sea.

The region has been central to Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern European history. Ancient maritime communities used its many islands and sheltered bays as routes for trade, settlement, and warfare. The name is traditionally linked to Aegeus, a king in Greek mythology, although the exact origin is debated.

The Mediterranean Sea is the larger body that contains the Aegean. The Adriatic lies between Italy and the Balkans, while the Ionian Sea lies west of Greece, so none is the specific answer.
