Napomena: U cilju zaštite od korona virusa, u prevoznom sredstvu i u drugim zatvorenim i otvorenim prostorima, poštovade se sve mere i preporuke Kriznog štaba Srbije i Grčke, koje budu važile na dan putovanja. (Maska u prevozu i zatvorenom prostoru, distanca na otvorenom). Takođe je potrebno obezbediti eventualnu medicinsku potvrdu koja se bude zahtevala na dan putovanja. Poluostrvo Peloponez se nalazi na jugu Grčke, južno od Korintskog kanala. Na dva mesta je povezan s ostatkom Grčke, prirodnim putem, preko Korintske prevlake i veštački, mostom Rio-Antirio koji je izgrađen 2004. Peloponez je podeljen u sedam upravnih okruga: Argolida, Korint, Arkadia, Ilija, Ahaija, Lakonia i Mesinia. Najveći gradovi su Patra, Tripoli, Sparta, Pirgos, Kalamata, Korint i Nafplion. Reljefni izgled je većim delom planinski, ali postoje takođe i velike plodne ravnice i kotline. Najviša planina poluostrva je Tajget (Taygetos,2407 m). Peloponez ima mnoge važne arheološke lokalitete koji potiču od bronzanog doba do srednjeg veka. Najpoznatiji su: Olimpija (sveto mesto za svakog sportistu - sedište Olimpijskih igara),. Epidaurus (drevni religijski i zdravstveni centar), Mesena (antički grad), Monemvasija (srednjovekovni grad- tvrđava), Mikena (grad-tvrđava egejske civilizacije), Tegeja (drevni verski centar),Tirins (drevno utvrđeno naselje), Mistra (srednjovekovni grad u blizini Sparte)...

Dužina putovanja je od oko 3800 km. S obzirom da je putovanje dugačko i da nas vodi kroz vrlo atraktivne i zanimljive predele, smeštaj je planiran u više mesta i gradova, ili u njihovoj okolini: u Kalambaki jedna noć, u Kakovatosu dve noći, u Kalamati tri noći, u Gitiu, Nafplionu i Atini po jedna noć.

U kojim će to objektima i u kojim danima biti, znaćemo tek kada izvršimo uplatu rezervacija, pa su zbog toga moguće, eventualno, manje doplate za hranu.

Dan Noćenje u hotelu ili privatnim pasionima, u jednom od ova dva mesta koja se nalaze na 2 – 3 km od Meteora. Manastiri Meteori su najveća i najznačajnija grupa skupina pravoslavnih manastira posle onih na Svetoj Gori. Kameni manastiri, poznati po svom nesvakidašnjem položaju na stenama – stubovima, Unesko je okarakterisao kao jedinstveni fenomen kulturnog nasleĎa i oni predstavljaju jednu od najvažnijiih tačaka na kulturnoj mapi Grčke. Ima ih nekoliko, a u odnosu na raspoloživo vreme, preporuka je da se obilazak ograniči na najviše 3 manastira. S obzirom da se nalaze na visokim stenama, do svakih od njih pojedinačno, potrebno je savladati uspon od oko par stotina stepenika. Do podnožja nekih manastira može se doći i autobusom, a manastire je moguće obići i peške, starom stazom monopatia. Za pešačenje nije potrebna planinarska oprema, pa preporučujemo dobre patike i zaštitu od sunca.

Putovanje autoputem A-5 preko Janjine, Arte i Patre na Peloponezu.

Nalazi se u oblasti izuzetne prirodne lepote, u zelenom podnožju brda Kronos. Na prilično je ravnom mestu i sa mnogo hlada, pa nije previše naporan za posetu. TakoĎe je na Uneskovoj listi svetske baštine. Na tom mestu su se održale prve Olimpijske igre na svetu (776 godine pre n.e.), a danas se tu mogu videti ostaci Zevsovog hrama u kome se nalazila njegova zlatna statua (jedno od sedam svetskih čuda antičkog sveta). Svi eksponati u Arheološkom muzeju pronaĎeni su na spomenutom lokalitetu i dočaraće vam potpunu sliku kako je svetilište nekada izgledalo. 19.00 Dolazak u Kakovatos, mesto na Jonskom moru i smeštaj u apartmanima ili hotelu.

However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

    Image based Aerial 3D Documentation of Inaccessible Archaeological Sites using UAS Apostolos C. KAMPOURIS, IMANTOSIS Documentation, Greece Dimitrios V. GIANNOULIS, IMANTOSIS Documentation, Greece Abstract: The following paper refers to the Large-Scale Documentation of Cultural Her- itage in extreme regional and environmental conditions, with the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Three large scale survey sites in Greece are presented, all located in Southern Greece at the Peloponnese region. Case studies are: The Old Philosopher’s Monastery, the Penteskoufi Fortress, and the Acrocorinth Castle. The paper focuses on the encountering difficulties on site, the methodology and techniques used for surveying, the workflow followed during documentation and the deliverables of each study.For each case study, detailed documentation of the difficulties faced on site due to inaccessibility takes place. The most common problems for the working team where: extremely bad or quickly changing weather conditions, dense vegetation that covered the surveying sites, frequent rock falling, lack of power charging spots near the site and the inability of trans- porting heavy equipment. Additionally, the combination of methods applied to overcome every challenge is elaborately presented. The sites were surveyed with the use of Un- manned Aerial Systems supported with high accuracy geodetic equipment. Stereoscopic Photography took place not only in vertical and horizontal position, but in diagonal also, in order to capture detailed aspect and all the ground folds. Finally, using 3D Photogram- metry, billion numbered Point Clouds, Digital Surface Models (DSM), Digital Elevation Models (DEM), 2D Cad Blueprint visualizations and Orthophotomosaics were generated. Keywords: photogrammetry—aerial—inaccessible—documentation—large scale—castle—3D CHNT Reference: Kampouris, Apostolos and Giannoulis, Dimitros.

Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well.

  • The Fortifications of Arkadian Poleis in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
    THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARKADIAN POLEIS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS by Matthew Peter Maher BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2002 BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2005 MA, The University of British Columbia, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2012 © Matthew Peter Maher, 2012 Abstract This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level. After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided. The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor.
