Craggy mountains reach across its elongated spine, giving Ikaria the shape of a stretched out peanut. This rela�vely small island boasts a complex topography of high ridgelines, steep slopes, plateaus, valleys, waterfalls, canyons, rivers, ponds, sandy and rocky beaches and other natural wonders. But Ikaria has remained largely a secret. Not much can be descried when gazing up from Ikaria’s shores. For centuries Ikaria’s popula�on lived deep in the moun- tains, carving out homes in sca�ered hamlets, o�en to hide from pirates and other invaders. As centuries progressed, Ikaria stayed rela�vely isolated due to its lack of natural harbors and its rugged terrain. In turn, Ikaria’s natural environment flourished with rela�vely li�le interference. Today, Ikaria is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna (including some rare and endangered species), spreading over a drama�c landscape of microclimates. Hot and sunny summers give way to cold, rainy winters, suppor�ng plush vegeta�on and rich seasonal varie�es..

  • 1 Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative
    Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative: Representations of the Aegean Space. Introduction: representing space. Between the land-masses of Europe and Asia lies the Aegean sea.1 This space is neither homogeneous nor blank: the Aegean is framed by highly fragmented coastlines, and dotted with islands, which in turn are perceived as forming groups, such as the Cyclades or Sporades. Culturally, there is no distinction between the two sides of the Aegean, and the islands in between: “in the internal structure of the sea- faring Hellenic society in its pre-Alexandrine age, the waters of the Aegean proved themselves to be, not a barrier, but a bond by knitting together an Asiatic and a European half of an indivisible Hellas.”2 Politically however this has been a highly charged, and highly contested, space, not least because the maritime space defies the imposition of a clear-cut boundary, of the kind that rivers seem to provide:3 while the ‘strong’ point of division between the two continents is the Hellespont, which resembles a river, the Aegean sea has width (as Herodotus says, “the Hellespont flows into an expanse of sea, χάσµα πελάγεος, which is called Aegean”, 4.85.4), and 1 Ancient denominations of the area: Ceccarelli (2012). For the definitions of ‘space’ and ‘place’ accepted here see the introduction, 000. Theoretical background: Lefebvre (1991) [1974]; Warf (2008); Barker, Bouzarowski, Pelling and Isaksen forthcoming a; Bouzarowski and Barker, this volume, with further literature. For Greece, Gehrke (2007); Ulf (2008) (water and space); Purves (2010); De Jong (2012) (space in Greek literature); Rehm (2002), 273-96 (ancient Greek theories of space); Frisone and Lombardo (2007) (discussion of the notions of centre and periphery, and of the place of Ionia in this model).

    United Nations A/75/976–S/2021/684 General Assembly Distr.: General 28 July 2021 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventy-fifth session Seventy-sixth year Agenda item 76 (a) Oceans and the law of the sea: oceans and the law of the sea Letter dated 27 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General With reference to the letter dated 13 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations addressed to you (A/75/961-S/2021/651), we wish to underline the following: First, the arguments contained in the above-mentioned Turkish letter that sovereignty over the Greek islands of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean was ceded to Greece under the Treaty of Lausanne of 24 July 1923 and the Treaty signed at Paris on 10 February 1947 “on the specific and strict condition that they be kept demilitarized’’ are not only manifestly unsubstantiated and unfounded, but also legally and historically incorrect. Once again, we wish to reiterate that sovereignty over the islands, islets and rocks of the Aegean was ceded to Greece definitively and unconditionally under the above-mentioned treaties and any interpretation against the letter or spirit of these fundamental treaties would amount to an unauthorized atte mpt to unilaterally review and modify them. More specifically: 1. Regarding the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923, it should be stressed that Greece’s sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean Sea islands was officially confirmed in article 12 of the Treaty. Greek sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean islands, according to the said article, is not conditional upon any obligation whatsoever, including any obligation to demilitarize them.

  • A Heuristic Algorithm for the Optimization of the Greek Coastal
    TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 7, Number 1, Spring-Summer 2012, pp. 351-366 UDC: 338.48+640(050) THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE GREEK COASTAL SHIPPING TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Konstantinos Chainas1 Athens University of Economics and Business This dissertation presents a heuristic algorithm that improves the coastal network in the Greek Aegean Sea. The Greek coastal shipping - except for its specific role for Greek tourism - becomes of utmost importance after the decision of the European Union to reinforce, for special reasons, the short-distance shipping. This dissertation suggests and describes a methodology for the re-planning of the coastal network of Greece and aims to develop a new model of the coastal shipping network in Greece. This model is documented by the heuristic algorithm for improvement, the NAUTILUS. This algorithm drastically improves the travel times for the Aegean destinations and poses the terms and conditions for the materialisation of a Complete Decision System, for the overall improvement of the Greek coastal shipping. Keywords: optimization, algorithm, tourism, coastal network, transport JEL Classification: L83, M1, O1 INTRODUCTION The concept of optimizing the coastal transportation takes on a different meaning, depending on the aspect from which one sees improvement and the criteria they set. For a coastal shipping company, which wants to cover a certain island area, the optimal route would be one that could cover the market demand efficiently and effectively taking advantage of its entire fleet by scheduling the appropriate ship type to the respective route; even when a route yields the maximum possible economic results at a minimum cost.

  • The Greek Passenger Ferry Transport System Service Level Agreements
    ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM MSc in Maritime Economics and Logistics 2008/2009 The Greek passenger ferry transport system Service Level Agreements in the route Piraeus œ Samos Island By Anastasios Kefalas Copyright © Maritime Economics & Logistics Dedicated to: My grandfather Lefteris Island of Samos, 24th August 2009 - 2 - Acknowledgements W riting the Thesis was a great experience for me. As I come from the island of Samos it was a very good opportunity for me to publish the needs of the residents of the islandic areas and try to contribute the least to the solution of their problems. The accomplishment of the Thesis would not have been possible without the support and help of the people I would like to mention here. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervising professor Dr. Konstantinos Chlomoudis whose help during the Thesis was valuable. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Petros Kostagiolas for his patience and guidance. W ithout his help the Thesis would not have been completed. Furthermore, i would like to thank Mr. George Koulikas from the port authority of Port of Samos for providing me the statistical data and special thanks to all the experts that participated in the Delphic Method and gave their scientific opinion. Finally I would like to thank my friends Christos, Chris, John and Lefteris for helping me and supporting me not only during the Thesis period but also during my studies in Rotterdam. - 3 - Abstract /ive years after the liberalization of maritime transport in the majority of the Greek domestic routes (removal of cabotage) and the abolition of the age limit applying to vessels, the Greek ferry transport system is characterized by several major problems.
