Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight.

Heraklion and Chania: a Study of the Evolution of Their Spatial and Functional Patterns
Heraklion and Chania: A study of the evolution of their spatial and functional patterns Irini Perdikogianni 19 University College London, UK Abstract Keywords Evolution process, 19.1 This paper takes a comparative approach to the evolution of spatial and functional urban grid, spatial and patterns of two Cretan cities: Heraklion and Chania. It originates from a puzzle, functional pattern related to the function of these two settlements as they are today. The paper aims at [email protected] exploring the reasons for this difference. In this framework, it reveals a problem as to whether these different contemporary functional patterns are the product of pure chance, historical accident or of spatial factors such as the location of particular facilities or attractions. The study is based on the conjecture that the morphology of their grid differs, and this is reflected in their different functional patterns. This paper therefore explores the interrelation between space and function in the two cases. The spatio-analytical method employed is “space syntax”. The spatial analy- sis suggested syntactic differences during their evolution process may account for their different functional patterns. In the light of its research question, considering the limited data, the paper shows that syntactic analysis especially the radius-radius analysis related to the land use pattern, is a promising line for further research with more complete data. The paper begins by establishing the puzzle. Concepts like “centrality” and ultimately “live centrality” are developed, both strongly influenced by movement according to the theories of “natural movement” and “movement economy” (Hillier, 1993, 1996). Next, the paper describes the methodology and the data used.

Fourteenth-Century Regional Cretan Church Decoration : the Case of the Painter Pagomenos and His Clientele
Angeliki Lymberopoulou Fourteenth-century regional Cretan church decoration : the case of the painter Pagomenos and his clientele Series Byzantina 8, 159-175 2010 Series Byzantina VIII, pp. 159 175 Fourteenth-century Regional Cretan Church Decoration: the Case of the Painter Pagomenos and his Clientele* Angeliki Lymberopoulou The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK This paper has arisen from certain important questions regarding the way the production of art on Crete during the period of its Venetian domination (1211-1669) has been studied. For ex ample, research on the fourteenth-century frescoes in provincial churches, on which I would like to focus, involves attributions based on stylistic analysis. Broader practical circumstances of the creation of these fresco decorations have not been studied in detail and, therefore, a number of questions have been answered only very partially or not at all. Why, for instance, were decorated churches built in greater numbers in certain regions than in others? While stylistic attributions have given rise to tentative reconstructions of entire artistic schools, what can be assumed real istically about the size and composition of the workforce involved in the creation of the frescoes? And what was the relation between the social status of the patrons who commissioned fresco decorations and the style in which they were executed? While not claiming to have precise an swers to all these questions, I would like to present a few case studies which will, I hope, be an incentive for further research in this direction. The period of Venetian domination on Crete was a direct outcome of the Fourth Cru sade.1 The Venetians obtained the island in the aftermath of the first fall and sack of Con stantinople by the crusaders in 1204 - although they had to fight off their naval rivals, the Genoese, and managed to establish their rule on the island only from 1211 onwards.

Example of a Personal Geography
Inspiration Hive My Personal Map Behind the map First Drawing The pharos of Chania My favorite place in my home town and the dominant item in my map The four lions and their meaning: CRETE - The four municipalities of Crete The four lions and their meaning: CRETAN ART AND FAMILY MOMENTS -Spitholiontas: A hero from the famous Cretan poem “Erotokritos” and a nickname my dad had given me when I was little. The four lions and their meaning: PLACES OF CRETE AND PLACES I’VE LIVED IN -Heraklion: Where I lived for 5 years as a student. We used to spend a lot of time on that square! The four lions and their meaning: CRETANS -The brave and proud Cretans. Spiros Kagiales is a famous example. The four lions and their meaning: PLACES OF CRETE AND MEMORIES -The lions at the square of the village ‘Spili’. My family and I always stopped for launch there on our way to summer vacation. Lefka Ori The dominant mountains of Lefka Ori (also the view from our kitchen window) Cretan Gorges Crete has hundreds of gorges. They are everywhere and they are great opportunities for hicking which I love. I bungy jumped from Aradaina gorge twice! My gorges also look like trees without leaves because in Crete, mountains don’t have many trees. They are bare often because of fires and goats. Sariki: Sariki is part of the Cretan traditional costume. According to tradition, the fringes are ‘tears’ for Crete and all that it has endured. A sariki is wrapped around my pharos.

The specific study has also investigated the correlation of the resulting geomorphometric units with the geological properties of the island, including geological formations and faults. In the latter case, ground prospection methods and macroscopic geological surveys have been applied in order to verify the results of this correlation.

Originalveroffentlichung in: Atti del XI Congresso Internazionale di Epigrafia Greca e Latina, Rome 1999, I, 287-300. THE EPIGRAPHY OF HELLENISTIC CRETE THE CRETAN KOINON: NEW AND OLD EVIDENCE ANGELOS CHANIOTIS l. The epigraphy of Hellenistic Crete: The nature of the evidence. If I have chosen to highlight a legal document - an unpublished treaty related to the Cretan Koinon - it is not only because this text is the longests and probably the most important unpublished inscription of Crete, but also because Cretan epigraphy stands out essentially as legal epigraphy. The brief presentation of the new text is incorporated in a more general survey of epigraphic research on Crete'. The epigraphy of Crete can be divided into two periods: The early period (late 8th-late 5th cent.) is characterized by a great number of laws and decrees (ca. 200 texts, most of them fragmented) from only ten cities. In this early period, the number of treaties is extremely small (Staatsvertr., II 147, 148, 203, 216). From the late 5th to the late 4th cent, a negligible number of inscriptions survives - only one treaty (Staatsvertr., II 296) and a handful of laws. The situation changes dramatically around 300, when the laws disappear, with the exception of leges sacrae. However, from the three centuries before the common era we have an unparalleled number of treaties, concluded both among Cretan cities and I would like to express my thanks to Prof. A. Di Vita (Italian Archaeological School). C. Kritzas (Epigraphical Museum, Athens), N. Litinas (University of Crete), J.
