Kasos Tours Covid 19 ENG COVID-19 V a c a y w i t h S a f e t y 2 0 2 1 Dear friends & guests, Welcome to one of the least places on earth (still) without any corona virus cases. Covid-19 cases are still rising in many parts of Greece, but Kasos, is a rare place in Dodecanese that one can safely say it's covid-free. (Note: This piece was written in late February 2021, during which the island of Kasos has no confirmed cases of the corona virus in any of its communities) Although the outbreak of Covid-19 didn’t touch Kasos, has brought an enormous impact on our holiday time too. The natural isolation of Kasos led to the containment of the virus, but now it create hurdles, since there are limited medical resources here. The health protocols and measures Kasos Tours has put in place to ensure the utmost care and safety of the inhabitants. With the vaccines on the horizon, Kasos Tours is committed to offer a safe ground for our guests to feel both secure and relaxed when traveling on the Greek island of Kasos in 2021. So, please do take a moment to read the below measures that are put in place in order to ensure a series of safe and relaxing experiences for you with more preparedness and optimism and with respect to our inland communities. COVID-19 SPESIFICATION Currently you can still travel to Greece. However, we advise you to review the following page periodically for any changes. There is a passenger locator form to fill in. From all origins, Greece currently requires a negative covid test in the 72 hours before entry. You also agree to take all the necessary precautions & measures before travelling to Greece (such as covid test, vaccination et al) according to the international travel guidelines. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to review the following page and abide by the official general public health safety guidelines. If you don't agree to follow the official travel instructions announced on the following page, normal cancelation policy would apply, should you decide not to join an experience or tour with us. All info on the latest rules is here: https://travel.gov.gr/#/ HEALTH & SANITATION All our premises abide by the official health protocols announced by National Organization for Public Health (EODY) and the Ministry of Tourism which have been drafted according to the guidelines of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Personnel will be in charge to monitor that all health and safety procedures are followed on a daily basis. TOURS & SAFETY The majority of our tours are spent outdoors & in nature and all our locations are spacious with big outdoor areas. Our tours are nevertheless limited to smaller groups to ensure enhanced experience and thus, you avoid overcrowded gatherings. We always strive to look for experiences that benefit both the guests and the local communities they will be visiting, while offering the warmth that you’ve been deprived of in the age of social distancing. We do NOT permit non registered guests/friends to enter our premises or participate for the duration of an event, in compliance with the Health Protocols. TRANSFERS AND CAR RENTAL All our partners follow the sanitation measures that are compulsory prior to a new guest entering a vehicle. In bus transport, please note that a use of face mask is Compulsory. HANDLING OF A COVID-19 CASE In the event of a suspected or a confirmed case, the guest will be handled according to the applicable laws and regulations, while ensuring that all health protocols and procedures are followed. Once the official regulations and protocols are released for the summer season 2021, we will update this document with the latest information. In the island of Kasos there is an appointed rural doctor and a few mobile Covid19 test units. You will need to call us so that we will safely guide you and assist you. The adjoining island of Karpathos and its Public Health Center has a better equipped Covid-19 section, so you will be more likely transferred there. MONITORING OF GUESTS AND STAFF Following the mandatory Health Protocols, Kasos Tours will have to keep record (Guest Book) of all names, address, and email as well as phone number of each of the guests. The reason is to enable tracing the contacts in case of a Covid19 verified case. This is compulsory as in case of any Covid-19 incident we will only share this information with appointed doctors or the relevant authorities so that they in turn take action into informing contacts so that any potential contamination is prevented. The above exempts from the GDPR rules (new EU GDPR Law 4624/2019). Therefore, we will email you, prior to your arrival, so that we can obtain this information electronically. We can notify our guests in case of the presence of a case of Covid-19 or any suspicious symptoms, however such notification will take place in a discrete way which will not directly or indirectly identify the guest or staff member to other guests or staff. FLEXIBLE CANCELLATION & PAYMENT POLICY As we understand the insecurity that travel planning still holds, we are offering a more flexible payment and cancellation policy to those who want to join Kasos Tours in 2021. New bookings made between March 2021 and May 30th 2021, are fully refundable until May 31th 2021 to offer flexibility on travel planning. More flexible payment plans can be offered on request. In case travel restrictions are applied to Greece or the guests’ country of residence at the time of an event, and a scheduled tour needs to be cancelled or the guest is restricted from joining an experience, the guest shall receive a voucher equal to the full amount paid and valid for 1 year. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS As the situation is constantly changing and so are the instructions of the National Public Health Organization (NPHO) under the supervision of the Minister of Health, this document is a “work in progress” with continuous updates. Kasos Tours kindly ask that you refrain from joining one of our tours if you have experienced symptoms of illness in the last few days prior to the event that are indicative of respiratory disease. Please notify us if such symptoms of illness develop during or after your tour. Kasos Tours reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to restrict guests from coming into our premises that display any symptoms of COVID-19 or have a measured body temperature higher than 37.4 °C to protect the health and safety of other guests and staff. In addition, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to take any other appropriate measure permitted by the applicable laws for public health purposes. GUEST COMPLIANCE By joining one of our tours/experiences, you agree to practice good hygiene, follow the social distancing rules, comply with all of the necessary preventive hygiene measures according to local guidance and abide by the official general public health safety guidelines in accordance with the National Public Health Organization (EODY) under the supervision of the Minister of Health guidelines, currently in force. The guest also agrees to take all the necessary precautions & measures before travelling to Greece (such as covid 19 test, vaccination et al) according to the international travel guidelines. PREVENT OF SPREAD OF INFECTION We also trust that each individual will respect the above rules and that individual hygiene will always be in everyone’s daily practice. Thank you for taking the time to read the above practices. We‘re looking forward to welcome and host you by adding our unique family-touch hospitality! Regards, Kasos Tours.

    Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service May 23, 2019 Risk Assessment report Concerning overlaps with TR20022A, TR20022B, TR200021 and TR200031 The following technical risk assessment report refers to the four Turkish ENC cells of scale band 2 (General) TR20022A, TR20022B, TR200021 and TR200031. 1. Geographical location of the overlap Overlapping areas are not considered being only deep water areas, but also comprise a variety of islands and continental areas, including approaches to Ports/Harbours. 2. The shipping density in the area, Shipping route patterns Regarding shipping route patterns, the 4 ENCs in discussion occupy areas of great navigational importance for international and domestic shipping as: • Kafireas Strait (Evvoia I. – Andros I.), • Kasos Strait (Kriti I. – Kasos I.) and Karpathos Strait (Kasos I. – Rodos I.), • Kyklades Islands. The above areas are main navigational routes not only for Greek waters and harbours but for Canakkale (Dardanelles) Strait and the Black Sea. 3. Size of the overlapping data Regarding to the size of overlapping area, it covers the majority of the Aegean Sea area. To be more specific please see the next table where percentages of the overlaps are presented. Greek waters and areas Turkish waters and areas International waters of national jurisdiction of national jurisdiction TR20022A 60.73 26.18 13.09 TR20022B 36.46 39.93 23.61 TR200021 38.14 45.11 16.75 TR200031 25.78 45.13 29.09 4.

Collapse at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Aegean Introduction In the Aegean, Mycenaean cultural influence spread progressively from the LH I period onwards. The nature of the relationship between the Greek mainland palatial centres and the Aegean islands have been variously discussed. The conditions during the LH IIIB period, the fall of the mainland palaces and the character of the culture in the LH IIIC phase will provide a picture of the form this interaction had. The collapse witnessed at the mainland centres (Middleton 2017) will allow an assessment of the cultural influence they had on the Aegean islands. The analysis of this area will focus on the development of local culture and the participation of the islands in the long and short distance maritime exchange networks. The Mycenaean centres in mainland Greece established regular contacts with the Eastern Mediterranean from the LH I period onwards. The exchanges were gradually increased during the course of the LBA and permanent long-distance sea routes were set.

  • Modern Greek Dialects
    <LINK "tru-n*">"tru-r22">"tru-r14"> <TARGET "tru" DOCINFO AUTHOR "Peter Trudgill"TITLE "Modern Greek dialects"SUBJECT "JGL, Volume 4"KEYWORDS "Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography"SIZE HEIGHT "220"WIDTH "150"VOFFSET "4"> Modern Greek dialects A preliminary classification* Peter Trudgill Fribourg University Although there are many works on individual Modern Greek dialects, there are very few overall descriptions, classifications, or cartographical represen- tations of Greek dialects available in the literature. This paper discusses some possible reasons for these lacunae, having to do with dialect methodology, and Greek history and geography. It then moves on to employ the work of Kontossopoulos and Newton in an attempt to arrive at a more detailed classification of Greek dialects than has hitherto been attempted, using a small number of phonological criteria, and to provide a map, based on this classification, of the overall geographical configuration of Greek dialects. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography 1. Introduction Tzitzilis (2000, 2001) divides the history of the study of Greek dialects into three chronological phases. First, there was work on individual dialects with a historical linguistic orientation focussing mainly on phonological features. (We can note that some of this early work, such as that by Psicharis and Hadzidakis, was from time to time coloured by linguistic-ideological preferences related to the diglossic situation.) The second period saw the development of structural dialectology focussing not only on phonology but also on the lexicon. Thirdly, he cites the move into generative dialectology signalled by Newton’s pioneering book (1972). As also pointed out by Sifianou (Forthcoming), however, Tzitzilis indicates that there has been very little research on social variation (Sella 1994 is essentially a discussion of registers and argots only), or on syntax, and no linguistic atlases at all except for the one produced for Crete by Kontossopoulos (1988).

Kuss, Freiburg i.Br. Abstract New knowledges about Neogenic and Pleistocene mammalian faunas of southern Aegean islands make a contribution to understanding of geodynamics of the Aegean area. From Oligocene (?) till Middle Miocene this area has been part of the European continent. Tempo­ rarily a connection with faunal exchange existed to North Africa. Parts of the Aegean land- mass with relicts of the Neogenic mammalian fauna persisted as islands into Holocene times. Landbridges, conditioned by tectonics and passable only for a small number of mammals, made possible two phases of immigration from the Greek mainland to Crete during the Pleistocene. Zusammenfassung Neue Kenntnisse über die neogenen und pleistozänen Säugetierfaunen südägäischer Inseln leisten einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Geodynamik des ägäischen Raumes. Vom Oligo- zän (?) bis zum Mittelmiozän war dieses Gebiet Teil des europäischen Festlandes. Kurzfristig bestand Verbindung und Faunenaustausch auch mit Nordafrika. Teile des ägäischen Festlan­ des blieben als Inseln mit peristierenden neogenen Faunenelementen bis in das Holozän erhalten.

  • Summer School Marxist
    MARXIST SUMMER SCHOOL e Institute for the Radical Imagination is pleased to announce the creation of the Marxist Summer School, to be held yearly in Greece. For 2020, the Summer School will take place from June 28th through July 11th on the island of Kasos. e Marxist Summer School is designed to enable those who are new to historical materialism as well as more advanced participants to address fundamental questions, concepts, and texts in an intensive way and in an inclusive, non-sectarian, and congenial setting. ere will be two daily seminar sessions (held in the Kasos municipal library) where participants will collaborate on close readings of texts and address some of the core political problems of our times: from ecological devastation, the transformation of desire and subjectivity, and the politics of economic austerity to the new forms of technocratic capitalism and the ever-increasing tendency toward authoritarian rule. e Marxist Summer School is open to everyone with an intellectual drive and revolutionary zeal and does not require any previous preparation. ere is a non-refundable registration fee of $100 and tuition is $500 weekly, the tuition includes a single occupancy hotel room (there can be reduced rates for those who want to share a room) and one communal meal each day. Students can register for a single week or both weeks. ere will be a maximum of 25 students in total; some nancial aid may be available for students on a need basis. Kasos is a very small island with about 800 residents. It has very little tourism and is an ideal location for engaging in collaborative study and radical thinking.

  • 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.

AN investigation of the very scattered literature of the Greek islands, designed primarily to supplement Mr. Dawkins's researches on the dialects, has led me to unexpectedly interesting results touching the Albanian settlements, which may be worthy of independent publication. Besides printed sources I have consulted the Grand Insulaire of Andre Thevet (Paris, Bibl. Nat. MSS. Fr. 15, 453 (1586))1 and the Isolarii of Antonio di Milo (B.M. (a) Julius, E. II (1587), (b) Add. MSS. 10,365 (1591)), and Francesco Lupazolo of Chios (B.M. Lansd. 792 (1638)). The stages by which the Albanians penetrated into Greece are well known.. They appear in force in Thessaly about I35o,2and shortly after in the north-west provinces of Aetolia and Acarnania.3 Their soldierly qualities were at once recognized : they served as mercenaries under the despots of the Morea,4 and were invited to settle in Attica by the Catalans,5 and in Euboea by the Venetians.6 Ten thousand of them, finally, migrating evidently under pressure of the Turks further north, were admitted into the Peloponnese by Theodore I.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The theoretical objective of this thesis is of a synthetic nature, for it makes an effort to build up a picture of human activity on the islands concerned, that is their social, economic and cultural evolution in Pre­ historic times. However, the method followed is largely analytical, since archaeological data are combined with results from other disciplines in order to reconstruct the Prehistory of these islands, no matter how incomplete and unambitious this may be. A total of 71 Prehistoric sites have been identified so far. Most of them are on elevated locations near the coast and date from Middle Minoan III to Late Minoan I. Late and Final Neolithic occupation is also represented by numerous sites, whereas the scantiness of Early Bronze Age sites may be attributed to the deficiency of surface investigation and lack of strati­ graphy.
