New Opening from Santikos Collection Marpunta Village, Alonnisos, Greece NEW OPENING FROM SANTIKOS COLLECTION MARPUNTA VILLAGE, ALONNISOS, GREECE March 2017/…The family owned Santikos Collection, best known for their stunning hotels on the Greek island of Skiathos (Skiathos Princess & Aegean Suites), is thrilled to launch another of their properties to the UK market for Summer 2017, this time on the neighbouring island of Alonnisos. Following a huge €3M refurbishment that was completed in Spring 2016 which saw all rooms refurbished and upgraded, Marpunta Village (which has been in the Santikos family since 1984 and has previously run as an Italian Club) on the island of Alonnisos will be available to guests from the UK from Summer 2017. Set in a private pine forest and surrounded by the blue waters of the Aegean, Marpunta Village features 104 rooms, 15 Family Suites, farm-to-table cuisine and 3 private beaches, the property evokes a traditional Greek chic atmosphere and a wealth of activities for family and friends to enjoy. Marpunta Village, originally an old fisherman's village, offers guests a tranquil and authentic Greek island escape. Located on the island of Alonnisos (part of the Sporades Islands with a population of under 1,000), the property is surrounded by Greece’s first national marine park. The traditional 'Old Town' of Alonnisos is set up high on a hill, with cobblestone streets and breathtaking views. The island is also famed for its White Tuna and Tyropita (cheese pie). Guests can walk down to Patitiri Beach, Patitiri Harbour and the Port of Alonissos in about 20minutes, direct from the resort. What’s NEW The pool area at Marpunta will undergo a two-stage renovation with phase 1 being completed in time for the 2017 season and phase 2 completing ready for the 2018 season. The renovation plans will allow for a larger lounge area between the pool and the sea. A NEW Spa is also on the cards and is set to launch at the property ready for the 2018 season. All rooms at the property were renovated in 2016 - not only were they refurbished but most were completely gutted and rebuilt. In some cases, two rooms were knocked into one, the only thing that was kept the same was the external structure. They now range in size from 22-45sqm. The lead in rooms are the ‘Club Rooms’, also on offer are Family Rooms, some of which have Sea Views, Junior Suites (all of which boast Sea Views) and there are a couple of Deluxe Suites too. All feature Sampar amenities. Katerina Santikou, Business Development Manager for Santikos Collection comments, “The concept for the rooms was to use natural materials in order for the hotel to be in harmony with the surroundings. In the bathroom for example the walls of the showers are covered in river pebbles and the flooring in the rooms is condensed white grey stone. I would describe the new look rooms as having a ‘simple, Mediterranean luxury style’ and the colour scheme reflects the stunning surroundings with blues from the Aegean Sea and orange from the stunning sun rises and sunsets we are so lucky to benefit from on a daily basis.” Dining Marpunta’s main buffet restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also offers show cooking (high chairs available for little ones). There is also a Mediterranean restaurant on the beach (open for lunch, reservations required), a pool and lobby bar. The all-inclusive offering comprises of three meals at the main restaurant, an extension of breakfast until 11:00 at the pool bar; the possibility of having lunch at the seaside restaurant, drinks (soft drinks, water and alcoholic drinks) to accompany main meals, as well as throughout the day at the bars pool and lobby bar. Tea and coffee (including espresso and cappuccino) also included as well as sweet and savory snacks at the bars throughout the day. Activities/Facilities Complimentary wifi is available throughout the resort as well as a complimentary shuttle service to Patitiri Port/Village and the island’s stunning Old Town. Marpunta features a stunning main pool along with 2 tennis courts, volleyball and basketball court and five aside football pitch. Archery is also available.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

It does, on the Sporades! With its olive trees and pine forests, monasteries and 60 glorious beaches, Skiathos is considered the most beautiful island by many. The magic of the Cyclades Houses like sugar cubes, blue window-frames, narrow winding streets lined with flowers, windmills and small churches – Mykonos, perhaps the most famous of the Cycladic islands, could have come straight from a book. Set against fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, elegant restaurants, quaint taverns and sophisticated cafés are perfect for whiling away the hours, and the promenade offers visitors a spectacular view of a romantic sunset. The charming capital of the Cyclades accomplishment. A great number of monumental neo-classical Ermoupolis, capital of the island of Syros and the entire buildings create the impression of a sophisticated city. As you Cyclades, was built on two hills and is a unique architectural ascend, the opulence and vastness give way to a maze of narrow passages, creating a more medieval atmosphere.

    The Distribution Of Obsidian In The Eastern Mediterranean As Indication Of Early Seafaring Practices In The Area A Thesis By Niki Chartzoulaki Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark MASTER OF ARTS November 2013 1 Στον Γιώργο 2 Acknowledgments This paper represents the official completion of a circle, I hope successfully, definitely constructively. The writing of a Master Thesis turned out that there is not an easy task at all. Right from the beginning with the effort to find the appropriate topic for your thesis until the completion stage and the time of delivery, you got to manage with multiple issues regarding the integrated presentation of your topic while all the time and until the last minute you are constantly wondering if you handled correctly and whether you should have done this or not to do it the other. So, I hope this Master this to fulfill the requirements of the topic as best as possible. I am grateful to my Supervisor Professor, Thijs Maarleveld who directed me and advised me during the writing of this Master Thesis. His help, his support and his invaluable insight throughout the entire process were valuable parameters for the completion of this paper. I would like to thank my Professor from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikolaos Efstratiou who help me to find this topic and for his general help. Also the Professor of University of Crete, Katerina Kopaka, who she willingly provide me with all of her publications –and those that were not yet have been published- regarding her research in the island of Gavdos.

  • 1 Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative
    Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative: Representations of the Aegean Space. Introduction: representing space. Between the land-masses of Europe and Asia lies the Aegean sea.1 This space is neither homogeneous nor blank: the Aegean is framed by highly fragmented coastlines, and dotted with islands, which in turn are perceived as forming groups, such as the Cyclades or Sporades. Culturally, there is no distinction between the two sides of the Aegean, and the islands in between: “in the internal structure of the sea- faring Hellenic society in its pre-Alexandrine age, the waters of the Aegean proved themselves to be, not a barrier, but a bond by knitting together an Asiatic and a European half of an indivisible Hellas.”2 Politically however this has been a highly charged, and highly contested, space, not least because the maritime space defies the imposition of a clear-cut boundary, of the kind that rivers seem to provide:3 while the ‘strong’ point of division between the two continents is the Hellespont, which resembles a river, the Aegean sea has width (as Herodotus says, “the Hellespont flows into an expanse of sea, χάσµα πελάγεος, which is called Aegean”, 4.85.4), and 1 Ancient denominations of the area: Ceccarelli (2012). For the definitions of ‘space’ and ‘place’ accepted here see the introduction, 000. Theoretical background: Lefebvre (1991) [1974]; Warf (2008); Barker, Bouzarowski, Pelling and Isaksen forthcoming a; Bouzarowski and Barker, this volume, with further literature.

  • Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger
    THE CERAMIC CONTINUUM OF Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger Nikos Rodios is a Greek artist who lives in the Greater Sporades on Skopelos Island. It is a stun- ning landscape with a profound heritage, but every milieu has its story and social cadence. What en- dures is not what is conspicuous but what provides sustenance. Rodios’ artwork, proceeding from that of his grandfather, father, and uncle, is the styliza- tion of such a vital continuum. It is a collection of forms that affirm precedent, aspiration, and an emphatic present. It is an essence Rodios condenses without comment. This is a meditation on his family’s legacy, because it is a shared dynamic. Have you ever looked through a gal- lery searching fruitlessly for cultural relevance? What Bernard Leach, the British formalist, referred to as a ‘taproot’? If so, then you know how ar- rogant this feels, but the insistence of truth remains. I look for an antithesis, even if it’s rash. If you know this reaction, then you understand the aesthetic anarchy of Paul Soldner, the American Abstract Expressionist. It is creatively permissive, mischievous, and prolific. Attempting to meld these ideologies poses a question, “What might authentic creativity look like in this context?” Here I think both Leach and Soldner would nod, but I suspect they would also point to a final catharsis. I recently underwent this sequence in Greece. I had spent several days at the museums in Athens and Iraklion and witnessed, first hand, some of the breadth of Aegean ceramics; its inventive design, elegant craftsmanship, and continuity.

Die gemessenen Spaltspuralter und modellierten Abkühlpfade weisen auf regionale und zeitliche Schwankungen der posteozänen Abtragungsgeschwindigkeiten hin. Zwei präeozäne Generationen von Paläokarst sind auf Skopelos zu beobachten. Die erste entwickelte sich während der Unterkreide auf triadischen Dolomiten des alten pelagonischen Schelfs. Die Bauxite und Laterite, mit denen dieser Palaeokarst versiegelt ist, sind aus verschwemmtem Material der Eohellenischen Decke hervorgegangen. Eine zweite Generation von Paläokarst entwickelte sich auf oberkretazi- schen Rudistenkalken und wurde unter palaeogenem Flysch begraben. Drei Generationen neogener Verflachungen treten auf Skopelos oberhalb von 300 m Seehöhe auf.
