Pešić: 30 January 2021 │ Published online 8 February 2021. Abstract The Lichadonisia island group is located between Maliakos and the North Evian Gulf, in central Greece. Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past. Herein, we present for the first time the land snail fauna of the islets and we compare their species richness with islands of similar size across the Aegean Sea. This group of small islands, provides a typical example on how human activities in the current geological era, i.e., the Anthropocene, alter the natural communities and differentiate biogeographical patterns.

  • Ionian Islands of Western Greece
    IONIAN ISLANDS OF WESTERN GREECE Going into more detail of our proposals for Summer 2018 in Greece, we would like to give you an idea of the many passage possibilities. The countless islands with all their beauty, make Ionian Greece a destination that can offer exciting places to visit without the fear of getting bored. Here are few of our favorite itineraries: 1. CORFU TO CORFU ROUTE A : We sail around Corfu, visiting the stunning coastline of Paleochastrisa, sailing to Paxos and Antipaxos, and then navigate the mainland coast stopping in Parga, Mourtos and other beautiful locations. Returning to Corfu. ROUTE B : It takes us to the north of Corfu to visit the small but beautiful Diapontinie islands of Othoni, Erikoussa and Mathraki. Afterwards we will sail south to Paxos and Antipaxos and then return to Corfu. (Parga may be included as well, time dependent.) ROUTE C : More navigation from Corfu to Lefkas. We move to the west of Lefkas and stop in the lively Fiskardo on Cefalonia. Afterwards we head north-east up the Inland Sea touching Meganisi, Skorpios, the east coast of Lefkas, following the channel returning to Corfu via Paxos. (this is the most classic of routes) 2. CORFU TO ZAKYNTHOS (ZANTE) one way in 1 week (for the round trip allow 2 weeks) - From Corfu, we sail a coastal route, the channel of Lefkada, then descend and touch Meganisi, Fiscardo, Ithaca, west coast of Zakynthos and finish in the south of the island, in the beautiful bay of Laganas, where the turtles nest on the beaches.

    THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS Annual Reports 2008–2009 through 2009–2010 VISION The American School of Classical Studies at Athens strives to maintain and enhance its position as the preeminent center for the study of the Greek world from antiquity to the present day. MISSION The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) advances knowledge of Greece in all periods, as well as other areas of the classical world, by training young scholars, sponsoring and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research, and seeks to support the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage. PHILOSOPHY The study of Greece from antiquity to the present day is critical for understanding the civilizations, history and culture of the Mediterranean, Europe, and Western Asia. The ASCSA supports a multidisciplinary approach to Hellenic studies, encompassing the fields of archaeology, anthropology, the archaeological sciences, topography, architecture, epigraphy, numismatics, history, art, language, literature, philosophy, religion, and cultural studies. As an institution in Greece sponsored by a consortium of institutions of higher education in North America, the ASCSA makes its resources available to qualified scholars, promotes the highest standards of research and archaeological fieldwork, and shares the results of its work. Front cover: 2008–09 Members ascend the akropolis of Orchomenos on Trip III and stand atop its tower (October 2008).
