An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short Description of the Region
An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short description of the region Located in the north-western corner of Greece at 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains, the Prespa Lakes region is a natural park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species. Prespa is a trans boundary park shared between Greece, Albania and FYR Macedonia. It only takes a few moments for the receptive visitor to see that they have arrived at a place with its own unique personality. Prespa is for those who love nature and outdoor activities all year round. This is a place to be appreciated with all the senses, as if it had been designed to draw us in, and remind us that we, too, are a part of nature. Prespa is a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the Mikri and Megali Prespa lakes; there are also villages with hospitable inhabitants, always worth a stop on the way to listen to their stories and the histories of the place. The lucky visitor might share in the activities of local people’s daily life, which are all closely connected to the seasons of the year. These activities have, to a large extent, shaped the life in Prespa. The three main traditional occupations in the region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. There are a lot of paths, guiding you into the heart of nature; perhaps up into the high mountains, or to old abandoned villages, which little by little are being returned once more to nature’s embrace.

1 Isotope Hydrology Model and Stable Isotopes in Sediment Records from Balkan Lakes
1 Isotope hydrology model and stable isotopes in sediment records from Balkan lakes 2 3 P. Chantzi1* and K. Almpanakis1 4 1 Laboratory of Physical Geography, Dept. of Physical & Environmental Geography, School of 5 Geology, AUTH 6 *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected], tel: +302310998508 7 GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT 8 9 1 10 ABSTRACT 11 Isotope mass balance in lake systems is strongly correlated with several climatic factors such as 12 temperature, evaporation, precipitation and air moisture. On the other hand, the sedimentary budget 13 of lake basins driven by climate, tectonic and/or human impact is an essential pool of environmental 14 records. Precipitation, springs and lake water δD and δ18O isotope data were used in order to 15 understand the key factors for the hydrological balance of Balkan lakes in West Macedonia. In 16 general, it is concluded that the open lake Ohrida and the semi-closed lake Kastoria are more buffered 17 hydrological as karst systems and less sensitive to evaporation effect, in contrast to the closed lake 18 system of Prespes that present a strong dependence on climate seasonality. Based on oxygen isotopes 19 in bulk sediments, it is concluded that in Kastoria lake basin an increased run-off on the land surface, 20 probably under a more humid period, in 2.4 kyr BP disturbed the transition to a drier regime from 21 mid/late Holocene to present. 22 23 Keywords: Lake Kastoria; Holocene; Mediterranean; Balkan; palaeoclimate; stable isotopes; 24 sediments 2 25 1. Introduction 26 Mediterranean area is strongly affected by climate change with a strong impact on the hydrological 27 cycle (Luterbacher et al., 2005; Fletcher and Zielhofer, 2013; Lelieveld et al., 2012).

Located at 1250 m above sea level, the town of Krushevo is the highest settlement in N.Macedonia. With mild continental climate Krushevo is one of the coldest places in N.Macedonia with average temperature of 10 degrees Celsius. Nested in the mountains, Krusevo is 34 km from the city of Prilep. 13:00-17:00 Sightseeing, food walk & cooking demo in Krusevo. The town is known among Macedonians as city of heroes and legends, being the birthplace of numerous recognizable names of N.Macedonia’s history and art scene. The singer Tose Proeski, the painter Nikola Martinovski and the revolutionaries Nikola Karev & Pitu Guli are among the notable people born in Krushevo. What makes Krushevo so important for N.Macedonia is being the place of the Saint Elijah (Ilinden), famous rebellion against the Ottomans which took place on 2nd August 1903 Page 1 That day the s.c. Krushevo Republic was formed and lasted for 10 days before the return of a large Ottoman army, destroying the Macedonian forces. The 2nd of August is one of the biggest holidays for N.Macedonia and is representing the centuries long struggle of Macedonians for independence and freedom.
