Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. It has an area of 6.8 square kilometers and borders Spain. Evidence shows Neanderthal habitation in Gibraltar dating back 50,000 years, making it the last known habitat of Neanderthals in Europe. Gibraltar has passed between Spanish and British control over the centuries due to various treaties. Today, the main ethnic groups are British, Spanish, and Italian, with English as the official language though most residents are bilingual, often speaking Llanito, a mix of Spanish and English.
Between 1901-1914, the British colonized Australia, drastically reducing the Aboriginal population from 100,000 to a small fraction. As more British settlers arrived, the Aboriginal people were pushed off their traditional lands along the coast and forced further inland. By 1909, though the Aboriginal people now lived on smaller portions of their original lands, some Australians viewed themselves as more British than those in Britain due to the length of time they had lived in the country under British rule.
The document provides details about two abandoned and historically significant locations: Varosha, a formerly prosperous tourist town in Northern Cyprus that has been abandoned since 1974; and Poveglia, a small island in Italy that has been used over the centuries for quarantining plague victims and housing the mentally ill, and has since been left empty. Varosha was a popular tourist destination until residents fled during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and it has remained closed off ever since. Poveglia was used for quarantining and housing the ill, but was abandoned in the late 20th century. Both locations now lay empty and deteriorating.
England is the largest and most populous territory in the United Kingdom, originally inhabited by Celts in the 5th century BC and later colonized by Romans between 43 AD and the 5th century AD. After enduring Viking attacks in the 10th century, England became politically unified.
The Suez Canal was built from 1869 to 1869 by French engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps, requiring over 120,000 workers who sadly lost their lives during construction. Stretching 132km long and 100m wide, the canal took 10 years to complete and was initially owned by French investors but later purchased by British interests. Tensions arose in 1956 when Egyptian President Nasser nationalized the canal, leading to an armed conflict with Britain and France until the UN negotiated for Egyptian control, establishing the canal as Egyptian property.
Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands located in Greece. The principal city and seat of the municipality of Corfu has a population of 32,095 people. Corfu is home to the Ionian University. It would be better to stay in the old town of Corfu where there are hotels like the Corfu Palace, Knights Hotel, and Siorra Vittoria. Important sights to visit include the Old Fortress of Corfu, Pontikonissi islet, Mon Repo estate, and Achilleion palace. Traditional Corfu dishes include pastitsada, sofrito, and bourdeto.
The document summarizes the Corfu Channel Incident involving the British destroyer HMS Volage. On October 22, 1946, HMS Volage struck mines in the Corfu Channel near Albania, resulting in 8 casualties. Pieces of the ship were recently discovered near Greece, linking to the post-WWII incident where Britain accused Albania of failing to clear mines from Albanian waters despite being notified of the route of British ships. The discovery generated news coverage around the world.

1. Daksa Island in Croatia was the site of a Franciscan monastery until the 19th century. During World War II, 53 men suspected of being Nazi sympathizers were executed there without trial. Their remains were discovered in a mass grave in 2009 and given a proper burial in 2010. Some report ghosts haunting the island.
2. Clipperton Island was claimed by France and the US over the years. In 1914, as supply ships stopped coming due to war, the soldiers and families living there began dying of malnutrition, until only 3 wives and children remained along with a lighthouse keeper who terrorized them. They banded together to kill him, and were later rescued in 1917.

Cilento was once home to ancient civilizations and Greek colonies. It has a rich history dating back 500,000 years when the first humans inhabited the region's numerous coastal caves. Throughout its history, Cilento served as a crossroads for trade between various Mediterranean civilizations. During the 7th-6th centuries BC, Greek colonists established important cities in Cilento like Paestum, Elea, and Velia. However, Cilento's role and culture declined under Roman rule when it was declared a province solely for providing goods to Rome. Between the 16th-17th centuries, Cilento experienced a dark period of oppression and violence known as the "Brigantaggio"

The document summarizes the history and key attractions of Milos Island in Greece. It describes how the island was inhabited since 7000 BC due to its mineral wealth, including obsidian deposits. It played an important role in the Cycladic civilization and was later settled by Dorians in 1000 BC. Two famous statues, the Venus de Milo and a large Poseidon statue, were discovered on the island. The document also details the island's large underground Christian catacombs and the famous marble statue of Aphrodite now housed in the Louvre that was found there in 1820.
Greece is located in southeastern Europe on the Balkan peninsula. It has a population of over 10 million and borders Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria. Greece has a long history dating back to ancient Bronze Age civilizations like the Minoans and Mycenaeans. It was influenced by the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire before gaining independence in the 19th century. Greece has over 2,500 islands and a mountainous landscape home to diverse wildlife. It also has a rich cultural heritage reflected in its 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and influences on Western civilization.
French immigration to New Zealand began in the 1830s when French whalers began visiting the coasts. Captain Langlois decided the South Island would be perfect for France to colonize after a successful whaling expedition. The first French settlement was established in 1840 in Akaroa. Initially, the local Māori welcomed the French settlers but tensions rose as more British settlers arrived seeking to colonize New Zealand. Today, Akaroa still retains aspects of its French cultural heritage in street names and cafes.
Ortona is an ancient coastal town in Italy with a population of around 23,600. It has historically been important as a maritime center and port. In December 1943, Ortona was the site of a violent battle between Canadian and German forces during World War 2, which caused significant damage to the town. A museum was later opened to commemorate this battle and educate visitors about what occurred through artifacts, testimony, maps, and propaganda from the time period.
The Gulf of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) cuts deeply into the coastline of the southern part of the Yugoslav Adriatic, creating four spectacular bays ringed in mountains, the “fjords” of the Mediterranean. The little town of Perast is situated at the foot of St. Elijah Hill (873 m), opposite the narrow Verige strait, where the innermost bays of Risan and Kotor converge. This easternmost shore was the earliest inhabited area in the Boka. The remains of a Neolithic culture (3500 BC) have been discovered in the caves of Spila above Perast and various archaeological finds provide evidence of civilization dating from Illyrian, Roman and early Christian periods.
Preceded by two jewel-like islands, Perast is focused on the sea. From the interaction between mainland and bay, the inherent contrast of stone and water, the dialogue of island and wave, sometimes in harmony but often in conflict, this sea-faring town has derived its unity, strength and sense of purpose. Despite its size, a sophisticated urban structure has arisen, demonstrated by the proportion, scale, massing and rhythm of the great number of public buildings, especially along the waterfront.
This document summarizes the voyage of the St. John ship from France to various islands in the Caribbean in 1666, as recounted in the book The Buccaneers of America.

Antonio Pigafetta was an Italian explorer who joined Ferdinand Magellan's expedition to the Spice Islands in 1519 and kept a journal documenting the voyage. The expedition departed Spain in 1519 and spent over a year navigating the treacherous Strait of Magellan before reaching the Philippines in 1521, where Magellan was killed in a battle. After further exploring the region, the expedition reached the Spice Islands and began the return voyage, with only one ship, the Victoria, making it back to Spain in 1522 and completing the first circumnavigation of the globe. Pigafetta's journal provided valuable information about the peoples, lands, and sea routes encountered on the historic three-year voyage.
The document discusses the history of an abandoned village called Arico in Tenerife, Spain. It was originally intended to be a sanatorium for people with leprosy in 1942 under Franco's regime, but it was never completed or used for that purpose. In the 1960s, it was used as a military training ground. The village includes abandoned buildings like apartments, a hospital, and a church. It has since become known as a ghost town.

At the beginning of the 16th century, in the abandoned countryside of the island of Lefkada which was under Ottoman Administration based in the castle of Agia Mavra, a significant number of Sephardic refugees originally from the Iberian Peninsula settled. The settlement and stay of these people in Lefkada was made by the decision of the Ottoman Sultan Bayazid II (1481-1512) and their presence on the Island lasted at least a century as there are 17th-century travellers who mention their existence in the area.
The exact location of their installation is not known today. The author argues that the "city inhabited mainly by Jews" as described by the English traveller George Sandys (1578 – 1644), is the city mentioned in the Ottoman chronicles as "Kondryada" (Greek: Χοντριάδα) and has been recorded in them since the year 1530. Today this point is a rural area of the modern settlement called "Exanthia". However, there are additional indications of the existence of a ruined fortress, a few kilometres further east, in the mountainous location of "Kastania" where it seems that the inhabitants of the city fled, in the event of an attack (such as a raid by pirates, etc.)
The fate of these refugees after the middle of the 17th century also remains unknown today. There are indications that the relatively prosperous - at the beginning of the century - Jewish community of Lefkada, collapsed under the repeated earthquake vibrations that hit their region, in the years 1612 and 1613. The few surviving descendants of the Sephardim, dispersed in the countryside of the Island to finally integrate into the Christian mountain communities founded by the Venetians - the new rulers of the island of Lefkada - after 1684.
The document discusses Saint Anna, a nun who lived at Cape Lefkatas (ancient Cape Leucates) in western Greece. According to a 10th century text, Anna was forced into an arranged marriage with a Muslim pirate but refused. She prayed for divine intervention and the pirate died suddenly. Grateful to God, Anna spent the rest of her life in the church of the Holy Virgin at Cape Leucates, where she died at an old age after 50 years. The cape has been a place of worship throughout history, with temples to Apollo in ancient Greece and later churches of the Holy Virgin and Saint Nicolaos.
