Venice established a network of colonies primarily in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea during its height as a maritime power. Key colonies included Crete, Cyprus, and parts of the Dalmatian coast, such as Zadar and Dubrovnik. The city also controlled trade outposts in the Aegean, such as the islands of Chios and Lesbos, and expanded its influence into the eastern Mediterranean with territories in Cyprus and parts of the Ottoman Empire. These colonies were crucial for trade, particularly in spices, textiles, and other goods.
