Itineraries 2020/2021 ITINERARIES 2020/2021 Fla˚ m, Norway by Steve McCurry A brand new ship. 191 voyages across 84 countries. A fantastic polar schedule. More European departures than ever before. And that’s only the beginning! 2020 looks set to be a sensational year. Silver Muse’s sister flagship Silver Moon’s maiden season sees her début in the beautiful ports of the Eastern Mediterranean and visit some of the most historic places in Europe. Istanbul and the Canary Islands will make their grand return, meaning there is (almost) no port in the region left unvisited! If the languages and lifestyle of Northern Europe are what you are looking for, then look no further than the plethora of choice that includes the Baltic, the Norwegian Fjords, Iceland and the British Isles with exclusive departures from Tower Bridge in London. The Polar Regions are not left out either: our Arctic programme is the best yet, and for the first time ever will include both the Northeast and Northwest Passages in the same year. Finally, unprecedented voyages in the New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands make the spectacular flora and fauna of the Antarctic region closer than ever before, so if you have ever wanted to experience the authentic beauty or set foot on earth’s final frontier, now is the time to do it. With longer time in port and overnights on all sailings over seven days, we really are taking you to the authentic beauty of the world.

Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon (the most eminent monument of the ancient Greek architecture) built. Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia. Tere are remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Te famous lion - carved from the native rock in the 6th c. BCE - can be seen just north-east of Kea town. Another highlight is the beautiful anchorage of Poleis.

    Quiet revolution It may not be as scene-y as Santorini or – mercifully – as mobbed as Mykonos, but for a remote hideaway just an hour from Athens, secluded Kea is the old-world isle with it all. Still, with development on the horizon, can it keep its calm? Words by Rachel Howard Photography by Manos Chatzikonstantis JULY 2019 / ATLAS BY ETIHAD 71 ack in the 1980s, there were plenty of Greek islands where you could go completely off-grid. And you didn’t have to travel 12 hours on a ferry Bboat from Athens to reach them. I’ve lived in Greece on and off since I was six. I remember, on the Friday after- noons of my youth, I’d jump on the back of my friend Oliver’s motorbike and off we’d go to the scrappy port of Lavrion for the one-hour ferry to Kea, the closest of the Cyclades Islands to Attica. Oliver’s mother had rented a tiny farmhouse on the sage-scented slopes of a valley. Built of solid rock, the low-slung house was only accessible by a prickly footpath. The walls were as thick as the trunks of the ancient oak trees that shaded the terrace. There was no electricity; we cooked in a wood-fired oven outside, played cards by paraffin lamp and fell into a dreamless sleep in the womb of the cool stone walls, which sloped inwards until they almost met above our bed. In the golden morning light, we’d wan- Previous page The infinity pool der down to Pisses, a sandy beach, lolling under the at Villa Kea ACH pine trees until it was time for lunch at the only taverna overlooking for miles around.

  • Quaternary Calcarenite ("Poros") of Mykonos, Delos
    ∆ελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τοµ. XXXVI, 2004 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XXXVI, 2004 Πρακτικά 10ου ∆ιεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Θεσ/νίκη Απρίλιος 2004 Proceedings of the 10th International Congress, Thessaloniki, April 2004 QUATERNARY CALCARENITE ("POROS") OF MYKONOS, DELOS AND RHENIA, CYCLADES ISLANDS, GREECE Varti-Mataranga M.1 and Piper W.J.D.2 1Institute of Geological &Mineral Exploration (IGME), Messogion 70, Athens 11527, Greece, [email protected], [email protected]. 2Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic), Bedford Institute of Oceanography, P.O. Box 1006, Dartmouth, N.S., B2Y 4A2, Canada, [email protected]. ABSTRACT Outcrops of friable calc-arenite of late Quaternary age, known as Poros rock, from Mykonos, Rhenia and Delos, are characterized sedimentologically and their cements are studied in thin sec- tion. Calcarenites of beach, coastal eolian dune, and pedogenic alluvium origin are distinguished sedimentologically. Beach calcarenite shows marine cementation by a uniform rim of micrite and bladed Mg-calcite. Some eolian dunes show precipitation of needle aragonite, probably from sea spray, but the dominant cements are sparry calcite from groundwater and vadose zone deposition of irregular micrite with meniscus and gravitational textures. Pedogenically cemented alluvium shows the characteristics of caliche, such as rhizoliths with clots and globules of micrite and circum- granular cracking. One outcrop of calcarenite from Panormos Bay in Mykonos shows beach facies at +2.5 to +4.0 m above present sea level, overlying cemented debris flow deposits. This occur- rence is interpreted as Tyrrhenian in age (isotopic stage 5e) and implies regional long-term subsi- dence of 2 cm/ka, consistent with the lack of marine terraces in the area.
