The paper explores the frontier between the Ottoman territories and the Venetian islands in the Ionian Sea between the late fifteenth and the late seventeenth century. The paper focuses on the fortress of Aya Mavra, which became the Ottoman military stronghold in the “Wild West” of their provinces, and the island of Lefkada. Following the historiography of the frontiers and the borderlands, the paper aims both at describing the military character of the Ottoman-Venetian frontier and at analyzing its permeability. In this context, islands like Lefkada, became border(is)lands, within the larger and more complex historical maritime frontiers. |
