And the O.A.T. Enhanced! Northern Greece, Albania & Macedonia: Ancient Lands of Alexander the Great itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As I explored the monasteries of Meteora, I stood in awe atop pinnacles perched in a boundless sky. I later learned that the Greek word meteora translates to “suspended in the air,” and that’s exactly how I felt as I stood before nature’s grandeur and the unfathomable feats of mankind. For centuries, monks and nuns have found quiet solitude within these monasteries that are seemingly built into the sandstone cliffs. You’ll also get an intimate view into two of these historic sanctuaries alongside a local guide. Could there be any place more distinct in Europe than Albania? You’ll see for yourself when you get a firsthand look into the lives of locals living in the small Albanian village of Dhoksat. First, you’ll interact with the villagers and help them with their daily tasks before sharing a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family. While savoring the fresh ingredients of the region, you’ll discuss daily life in the Albanian countryside with your hosts.

About Skopelos island About Skopelos island Skopelos History Sightseeing Villages & Ports Beaches Local products Useful Information Access The Sporades are a group of islands on the prefecture of Magnesia and are comprised by the islands of Skopelos, Skiathos, Alonnisos and Skyros. Skopelos is the second biggest island of the Sporades with a population of 6000 residents, an extent of ground of 96 square klms and a length of beaches of 68 klms. The ground is mountainous and around three quarters of the ground are covered by pine trees. Skopelos is the greenest island in Greece, “the green and blue island” as formally declared by the international organization of Biopolitics. It is a diamond that adorns the Aegean with an ideal environment where the green pines and dense forests blend with the light blue sea and sky creating a picture of incomparable natural beauty. Apart from pine trees there is also a rich flora as a great number of rare plants adorn the rich nature. The main road network of Skopelos is a distance of 35 klms. It stretches from the Hora to the port of Glossa (Loutraki). To enjoy all the beautiful sights of Skopelos it is helpful to have the use of a car or motorbike. If you don’t have one of your own you can rent a vehicle on the island or use the local bus or taxi service. The roads are in good condition and the ride through the forests is particularly enchanting. Nature has endued the island with some characteristics that are hard to find elsewhere.

Die gemessenen Spaltspuralter und modellierten Abkühlpfade weisen auf regionale und zeitliche Schwankungen der posteozänen Abtragungsgeschwindigkeiten hin. Zwei präeozäne Generationen von Paläokarst sind auf Skopelos zu beobachten. Die erste entwickelte sich während der Unterkreide auf triadischen Dolomiten des alten pelagonischen Schelfs. Die Bauxite und Laterite, mit denen dieser Palaeokarst versiegelt ist, sind aus verschwemmtem Material der Eohellenischen Decke hervorgegangen. Eine zweite Generation von Paläokarst entwickelte sich auf oberkretazi- schen Rudistenkalken und wurde unter palaeogenem Flysch begraben. Drei Generationen neogener Verflachungen treten auf Skopelos oberhalb von 300 m Seehöhe auf.

Network Biogeography of a Complex Island System: the Aegean

Crete, University of Crete, Heraklion GR- 71409 Crete, Greece Methods We used a network approach to detect island biogeographical roles and modules, based on a large and detailed database including 1498 Aegean endemic and subendemic plant taxa distributed on 59 Aegean Islands and five adjacent mainland areas. Results The Aegean was divided into six biogeographical modules; the net- work was significantly modular. None of the modules displayed all four possi- ble biogeographical roles (connectors, module hubs, network hubs, peripherals). Six new biogeographical regions in the Aegean were identified. Main conclusions The borders of the six biogeographical regions in the Aegean correspond well to the region’s palaeogeographical evolution from the middle Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene.

Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918
ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

HIDDEN TREASURES of GREECE Exploring Landmark Historic Sites & Idyllic Islands
CHAMBER MUSIC JOUR NEYS Beyond the or dinar y HELL AS HIDDEN TREASURES OF GREECE Exploring Landmark Historic Sites & Idyllic Islands Including The Thessaly Skopelos Chamber Music Festival September 29 – October 12, 2020 ronted by the longest coastline of any country in Europe, Greece presents an extraordinary variety of attractions that include magniﬁcent landscapes, idyllic islands and ancient sites and monuments that have Fsurvived through the centuries. While these attractions have made Greece a popular travel destination, there are areas and islands of this fabled land that are incredibly beautiful and important, yet they remain “hidden” and undisturbed by the usual characteristics of mass tourism. We designed this itinerary to include places that are “undiscovered,” places that will fascinate and delight you. Our journey of this unusual discovery will begin in northern Greece, speciﬁcally in Thessaloniki, the biblical Thessalonica, also known as Sa- Pelion lonica. Founded in the 4th century BC on the head of a spacious bay, and named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki has remained prosperous, vibrant and cosmopolitan since its founding al- most 2,500 years ago. From here, we will continue to Thessaly in central Greece. One of the country’s most surprising and interesting regions, Thessaly borders Mount Olympus and was the home of “god-like” Achilles, the hero of Homer’s Iliad. It was also the home of Jason, who led the Argonauts in their expedition to fetch the Golden Fleece. The legendary stories of Achilles and Jason reveal a land that has been in- habited since deep antiquity. Among the sites we will explore here are the incredible medieval monasteries of Meteora (“monasteries in mid- air”), and glorious Pelion and its old traditional villages.

Modern Greek Dialects
<LINK "tru-n*">"tru-r22">"tru-r14"> <TARGET "tru" DOCINFO AUTHOR "Peter Trudgill"TITLE "Modern Greek dialects"SUBJECT "JGL, Volume 4"KEYWORDS "Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography"SIZE HEIGHT "220"WIDTH "150"VOFFSET "4"> Modern Greek dialects A preliminary classification* Peter Trudgill Fribourg University Although there are many works on individual Modern Greek dialects, there are very few overall descriptions, classifications, or cartographical represen- tations of Greek dialects available in the literature. This paper discusses some possible reasons for these lacunae, having to do with dialect methodology, and Greek history and geography. It then moves on to employ the work of Kontossopoulos and Newton in an attempt to arrive at a more detailed classification of Greek dialects than has hitherto been attempted, using a small number of phonological criteria, and to provide a map, based on this classification, of the overall geographical configuration of Greek dialects. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography 1. Introduction Tzitzilis (2000, 2001) divides the history of the study of Greek dialects into three chronological phases. First, there was work on individual dialects with a historical linguistic orientation focussing mainly on phonological features. (We can note that some of this early work, such as that by Psicharis and Hadzidakis, was from time to time coloured by linguistic-ideological preferences related to the diglossic situation.) The second period saw the development of structural dialectology focussing not only on phonology but also on the lexicon. Thirdly, he cites the move into generative dialectology signalled by Newton’s pioneering book (1972). As also pointed out by Sifianou (Forthcoming), however, Tzitzilis indicates that there has been very little research on social variation (Sella 1994 is essentially a discussion of registers and argots only), or on syntax, and no linguistic atlases at all except for the one produced for Crete by Kontossopoulos (1988).
