This includes the word "FILOS" = friend and the word "XENOS" = stranger. This says it all: in Greece, every foreigner is considered as a possible friend. In mythology, the god Zeus could disguise himself in many ways and so visit your house as a total stranger. So every visitor can be a special guest. Therefore, for real Greeks, any guest, even unexpected, is always welcome. We from Secrets of Greece would like to show you the same hospitality. You are welcome to check our site and contact us for all your questions and wishes. Just click on "contact" and we will be happy to help you on your way to the secrets of this beautiful country. 4 Authenticity We know special places and we offer small-scale tourism with authenticity, sustainability and comfort.

The thesis examines the natural environment and explores the landscape using different kinds of information, in order to reconstruct the medieval historical topography of this region and to contribute to the problématique of the history and evolution of the Byzantine village and its remarkable longevity. The methodology applied ranges from the scanty literary sources, and visible archaeological evidence, and extends to the tracing of any sign of human activity on the landscape.

  • Introduction Acknowledgements
    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.

  • Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in the Aegean Sea
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 12, Issue 1 1988 Article 5 Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in the Aegean Sea Aurelia A. Georgopoulos∗ ∗ Copyright c 1988 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in the Aegean Sea Aurelia A. Georgopoulos Abstract This note argues that the continental shelf between Greece and Turkey should be delimited under general principles of international law. Part I discusses the present dispute and its historical underpinnings. Part II examines the relevant treaty and customary international law applicable to continental shelf delimitations. Part III analyzes the positions of the parties and proposes a solution under principles of customary international law. This Note concludes that the continental shelf should be delimited by drawing a median line between the two states giving half effect to Eastern Islands and then adjusting the line to avoid enclaving them. DELIMITATION OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF IN THE AEGEAN SEA INTRODUCTION On March 27, 1987, a Turkish seismic research vessel, the Sismik I, escorted by warships and jetfighters, prepared to sail for disputed waters around the Greek islands of Lesbos, Lem- nos, and Samothrace.' The proposed expedition exacerbated the ongoing dispute between Greece and Turkey over delimi- tation of the continental shelf in the Aegean Sea appurtenant to the two countries.2 At stake in this dispute are the legal rights to explore and exploit the potentially rich reserves of oil and gas underlying the Aegean seabed.' The longstanding his- torical animosities between the parties make it unlikely that they will be able to negotiate a resolution."t This Note argues that the continental shelf between Greece and Turkey should be delimited under general princi- ples of international law.
