The reconstructed old mansions have been transformed to wonderful guesthouses with all modern comforts. Hotels, apartments, restaurants and cafe- bars, newly built with the traditional architecture of Lagadia, offer experiences of special Arcadian hospitality and comfort. The village is located 65 km NW of Tripoli and 80 km E of Pyrgos. It is built on a steep slope with an inclination of 70 degrees and at 980 meters altitude. It is the homeland of the Deligiannis family, and of other fighters of 1821. In Lagadia the revolution was declared on 23 March 1821. On April 1, 1821 the kocabaṣı (ottoamn title translated as "old head") Kanellos Deligiannis ordered the slaughter of all Lagadian Turks (40 families) and the burning of the mosque. Overall nearly 300 men, women and children were massacred, leading to terrorize the inhabitants of the surrounding area who, under the fear of retaliation, joined the side of the Deligiannis family and the Revolution. Famous throughout Greece were the Lagadian masons, with rich architectural tradition, which is evident in the village itself. After the liberation of Greece, the Lagadians were engaged almost exclusively in the profession of mason, plowing across the Peloponnese in groups, building houses, bridges, schools, fountains and churches. Their reputation spread rapidly and became sought after. This resulted in a period of great prosperity. In the biggest edge, in the 1890s, Lagadia was the largest city of Arcadia after Tripoli, with a population of almost 7,000 inhabitants. Today there are about 700 inhabitants, of which few are permanent.

  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region

    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region

    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.
  • Greece: Peloponnese – 5 Nights Remote Mountain Villages of Southern Greece

    Greece: Peloponnese – 5 Nights Remote Mountain Villages of Southern Greece

    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Greece: Peloponnese – 5 nights Remote mountain villages of Southern Greece https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/greece-peloponnese/greece-peloponnese-5-nights/ Route Summary At a glance Greece - Peloponnese 5 night option (4 days walking) from Lagadia to Dimitsana, missing the night in Elati. Add extra nights in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana to relax and experience the culture of the region. How much walking? Full days: 14-22½ kms per day, 5-8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 9-16 kms per day, 2½-5 hrs walking using taxi starts Max. Grade: page 1/8 The Menalon Trail, named after the massif that forms the backbone of the Peloponnese (all of mainland Greece south of the Corinth Canal), uses many of the old paths and mule tracks that linked the villages with the fields, pastures and forests of this remote part of the region – it’s about as far from the sea and its undoubted attractions as you can get. With scenic hill walking, and some very pretty and thriving ancient stone villages, it is best used as the core of a longer holiday in the region – perhaps you could take in the sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and many others; hiring a car from the airport will also reduce transfer costs (see “prices”). This is an area visited by Greeks in the winter, while the spring and autumn are the preserve of the hill walkers. Even the summer is possible (though July in particular can be very hot) as much of the walking is in native pine and fir forest, with dappled sunlight enlivening the shade.

  • Water in Religion

    Water in Religion

    1.1. WATER IN RELIGION Vital factor for human life, but also for animal and vegetal life, water represents one of the most important element that exists, and, at the same time, the symbol of soul cleansing and holy life. Also, water has an important role in many religions and that results from the quality of being a cleaner and, at the same time, the one that purifies the body and soul. Likewise, the water is vivifying, the one which receives and offers the living possibility, the one which can provide life.The well known historian of the religions, Mircea Eliade, said that water symbolizes the totality of the virtualities, being the matrix of all the living possibilities. Waters implies regeneration, and that’s how it becomes the symbol of life Water is the one which creates, yet the one that can destroy life and that’s why it is seen from many points of view by the believers of different 1 religions. That’s why the meaning of it in different religions cause not only curiosity but also interest and diversity. In Buddhism, water is associated with the life beyond, for that reason water is poured in a bowl placed in front of the dead and the Buddhist monk (who recites the prayer). As rain fills the rivers that pours into ocean, just like how the soul will reach from where he left. In hinduism water has cleaning powers, that’s why it has such a special role that can be seen especially in the 7 sacred rivers: Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, Sarasvati, Narmada, Sindhu and Kaveri.

After lunch in the nearby village of Andritsaina follows the visit to Dimitsana, one of the most fascinating mountain villages in Greece. The afternoon is dedicated to a hike on a historic trail along the scenic Lousios Gorge, which crosses ancient stone bridges and passes by old monasteries hanging off the cliffs. Next morning, we will drive to our next destination Olympia, where like the racers starting at the first Olympic Games in 776BC and every fifth year thereafter, you can still put your toe on the starting stone.

    Katerina Gardikas Alexander Centre and Periphery in the 1874 Greek Elections: Competition for Political Control in Gortynia* “Thé whole of Classical mythology might represent the relics of a gigantic ‘song map’: that all the to-ing and fro-ing of gods and goddesses, the caves and sacred springs, the sphinxes and chi- maeras, and all the men and women who became nightingales or ravens, echoes or narcissi, stones or stars - could all be inter­ preted in terms of totemic geography”. Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines. In his article “Regionalism and Local Community”, John Campbell touches upon the issue of territorial identity in modem Greek culture, suggesting that regional sentiment for such large administrative units as the Morea or Roumeli, unlike that observed in Spain and Italy, is rela­ tively weak, when compared to its traditional identification with the historical district (επαρχία, the Ottoman qaza) and the community, i.e. the village or the town1. Taking Campbell’s position as a starting point, I shall examine some familiar properties of Greek national political culture with particular reference to the tension between centre and periphery, using the district of Gortynia as a case study2.1 shall focus on * This paper was presented in preliminary form in Monemvasia at the 6th annual symposium of the Monemvasiotikos Homilos on the “Contribution oF the Peloponnese to the Development of Modem Hellenism”, 23-25 July, 1993. 1.
