Archipelego aye...I think it will be a large one and most islands will be connected as we had our turn at iscolation last month. Byzantines means I will still settler wander a little but will be more than likely hugging the coast. The lands to the south could be the way to go as hystoricaly the Byzantines are centred around a choke point and this seemed to work well for them in the way of Dromon management and a lot of other things.
