There is no airport in the Island of Spetses. The nearest airport is Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos). The easiest way to go to Spetses is with the Flying Dolphin/Flying Cats and ferry boats that leave from Pireaus. From the airport to the port of Pireaus The Express Bus X96 runs to Piraeus, a handy way to connect with many ferries to the Greek islands. The trip takes about 1½ hour and runs at least every half-hour. The bus departs from the arrival level, between Exit 4 and 5. You get your ticket from the ticket office between exit door 4 and 5 from the arrival halls (from the outside). A one-way ticket is about 5 Euro and the approximately travel time is 1½ hour. The bus goes directly to the Centre of Pireaus. The bus terminal is on walking distance to the spot from where the boats leave for Spetses. From the port of Pireaus to Spetses Flying Cats/Flying Dolphin (Highspeed vessels to Saronic Gulf) are leaving several times daily. The trip lasts about 2½ hour. Information to Spetses from Pireaus Port - and online booking - can be found on www.hellenicseaways.gr. You are strongly advised to book your transportation to and from Spetses since, due to the high season in Greece, several connections can be booked out by the time you reach Greece. From Piraeus (Athens) to Spetses: Flying Cats/Flying Dolphins (about 2-3 hours), the travelling time varies depending on how many stops the hydrofoil makes on the way. 1. Hellenic Seaways: with 5-6 daily trips to Spetses Hellenic Seaways ONLINE BOOKING Please note! You have to make reservations in advance!

The Ephebeia and Oropos in Lycurgan Athens
The Ephebeia and Oropos in Lycurgan Athens Created after Alexander the Great’s destruction of Thebes in 335/4 B.C., the Athenian ephebeia was a state-organized and -funded system of mandatory national service for citizens aged 18 and 19, consisting of garrison duty, military training, and civic education ([Arist.] Ath.Pol. 42.2-5). In her overview of post-Chaeronea Athens, Sally Humphreys rightly observes that “the notion of paideia was embodied in a new educational institution, the ephebate, and was acted out in ritual” (Humphreys 2004). This paper examines one aspect of the involement of the ephebes in Athenian religious life during the first decade or so of the ephebeia’s existence. It asks why the cult of Amphiaraos at Oropos was included in the limited program of festivals (in comparison to the ephebeia in the Hellenistic Period: e.g. IG II2 1006) which the ephebes would have collectively celebrated in the 330s and 320s B.C., even if we are not reliably informed about the nature and extent of their activities at the Amphiaraion at this time. The epigraphic evidence shows that the Athenians, having recovered Oropos (lost to the Boeotians in 366 B.C.) probably in the same year in which the ephebeia was founded, devoted considerable resources to the refurbishment of the Amphiaraion and organized a new penteteric festival for Amphiaraos (regulations drafted by Phanodemus of Thymitadae), first celebrated in 329/8 B.C. (IOrop. 295, 296, 297, and 298: Parker 1996; Mikalson 1998). In an environment of tradition and innovation, they may well have also (substantially?) modified the program of the annual festival held in honor of the god, about which little is known and which predated the recovery program undertaken by Lycurgus’ administration after Philip’s decisive victory at Chaeronea in 338/7 B.C.

The Growth of Greek Cities in the First Millennium BC
Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The growth of Greek cities in the first millennium BC Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: In this paper I trace the growth of the largest Greek cities from perhaps 1,000- 2,000 people at the beginning of the first millennium BC to 400,000-500,000 at the millennium’s end. I examine two frameworks for understanding this growth: Roland Fletcher’s discussion of the interaction and communication limits to growth and Max Weber’s ideal types of cities’ economic functions. I argue that while political power was never the only engine of urban growth in classical antiquity, it was always the most important motor. The size of the largest Greek cities was a function of the population they controlled, mechanisms of tax and rent, and transportation technology. © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 The growth of Greek cities in the first millennium BC Ian Morris (Stanford) 1. Introduction Greece in 1000 BC was a world of villages. Most people lived in communities of just a few dozen souls; even the largest settlement, Athens (Figure 1), was probably just 3,000 to 4,000 strong. But at the millennium’s end, the Greek east Mediterranean boasted some of the largest cities in pre-industrial history. Alexandria, Antioch, and Seleucia-on-the- Tigris probably each had 250,000-500,000 inhabitants. Figure 1. Sites in the Aegean mentioned in this chapter In this chapter I discuss the size of Greek cities and the implications of their growth. I identify three major transitions: 2 Figure 2.

ARGO SARONIC SELF-GUIDED Islands, Antiquities, Rural Roads
ARGO SARONIC SELF-GUIDED Islands, Antiquities, Rural Roads DESCRIPTION The Argo Saronic region lies in the southeastern “finger” of the Peloponnese Peninsula, a stimulating region to cycle which Lonely Planet named the #1 European destination in 2016. In this predominantly rural region you bike directly to two four historical sites, Ancient Corinth, Ancient Nemea, the Epidavros Theatre and the beehive tombs at Ancient Mycenae. Enjoy healthy Mediterranean food and local hospitality. You immerse yourself in slow-moving Greece where most of the route is on back roads with negligible traffic. Your favorite mainland town will be Nafplio, modern Greece’s first capital, with elegant neo- Classical Venetian homes and a towering 17th century fortress, the Palamidi. You will also be endeared to the little islands of Spetses and Poros, both of which are low key and easy to discover on two wheels.

The Case of the Southern Aegean Region Evangelos Sambracos University of Piraeus 2001 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/52519/ MPRA Paper No. 52519, posted 26 December 2013 21:25 UTC The contribution of Coastal Shipping in the Regional Development of the Greek Islands. The Case of the Southern Aegean Region. E. SAMBRACOS Associate Professor Dept. of Maritime Studies University of Piraeus, Greece E-mail: [email protected] Summary The current article examines the interdependent relationship between the Greek coastal shipping system and the economic development of the Greek regions, with emphasis on the Southern Aegean islands. The methodology that is followed is based on the hypothesis that regional development is the balanced economic development of the remote island regions, as well as the Greek mainland. Available data on development of the Southern Aegean region, point to two basic sectors of economic development, the tertiary and secondary sectors, with tourism being the most important leverage of economic development. The transport sector is an important production factor since it ensures the functioning of the supply chain and the distribution of the tourism product. At the same time the isolation and the geographical distribution of the island regions demands the existence of a continuous and unbreakable communication between the island regions and the Greek mainland. Coastal shipping constitutes the most important means of transporting goods, and the primary means with over 70%, of passenger transportation.
