This handsome map of modern Greece features nice topographical detail and several place names. Several smaller islands are identified. Routes of unidentified voyages are traced throughout the region, and a couple of anchorages are shown near Patras, dated 1571, likely a reference to the Battle of Lepanto. Engraved by Bigant. "Tom. XXIX" appears above neatline at top right.
