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.

  • 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.
