  • Lifestyle Migration to Turkey
    LIFESTYLE MIGRATION TO TURKEY: EU CITIZENS LIVING ON THE TURKISH SUNBELT1 İlkay Südaş, PhD [email protected] EGE UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF LETTERS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, TURKEY Lifestyle migration terms the migration movement of relatively affluent individuals moving voluntarily to the places where they believe they can lead a better life. This is a form of migration that emerges related to rapid globalization and there is a strong nexus between lifestyle migration and tourism. Repeating previous tourist visits to the destinations are the main connection with the migration areas and purchasing second homes is a “stepping stone” (Casado-Diaz 2012) towards permanent or seasonal retirement migration. Friends and relatives already living in the destination are also influential in migration decision. O’Reilly and Benson (2009, 2) point out that the previous research has attempted to link the mobilities to wider phenomena using umbrella concepts such as retirement migration, leisure migration, international counter-urbanization, second home ownership, amenity seeking or seasonal migration. Combining these different conceptualizations, O’Reilly and Benson (2009) suggest the term “lifestyle migration” which is described as the migration movement of “relatively affluent individuals, moving, en masse, either part or full time, permanently or temporarily, to countries where the cost of living and/or the price of property is cheaper; places which, for various reasons, signify a better quality or pace of life. Lifestyle migrants are individuals with high mobility, permanently or seasonally relocating to the areas in pursuit of a better way of life. The seasonal or permanent migration of elderly northern Europeans towards the coastal areas of Southern European countries like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece has become an important phenomenon.

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.

  • An Argive Decree from Nemea Concerning Aspendos
    AN ARGIVE DECREE FROM NEMEA CONCERNING ASPENDOS (PLATE47) E XCAVATIONS in the Sanctuaryof Zeus at Nemea have revealed that in numbers of inscriptions discoveredthis Panhellenic shrine is more like Isthmia than its other two counterparts, Olympia and Delphi. The two sites in the northeasternPeloponnesos have producedbetween them only a modest collectionof inscribedtexts comparedwith the thou- sands of documents which fill the volumes of Die Inschriften von Olympia, Fouilles de Delphes: Tome III, Epigraphie, and their various supplements. Recent work at Nemea by the University of California at Berkeley has not dramaticallyaltered this picture, but a few interesting inscriptions have been recovered in the last several years.1 I here publish in preliminary form one of the more important of these, a decree of Argos concerning the Pamphylian state of Aspendos.2 The text of this decree survives on three joining fragmentsof a stele of hard, gray lime- stone which were excavated from an ancient well near the southwest corner of the Temple of Zeus (grid: K 14). In a preliminary report on this well, the Field Director, S. G. Miller, noted that the three fragmentslay at a level of -6.50 to -7.80 m. in a dumped filling which is probably to be dated in the second half of the 3rd century B.C.3 1 Inscriptionsfrom Nemea are published in IG IV, 479-488; SEG XI, 290-295; XXIII, 178-185; XXV, 356, 357; XXVI, 419-421; XXVIII, 391, 392; XXIX, 347-353; XXX, 351-353.

  • Evidence for Damaging Historical Earthquakes at Priene, Western Turkey
    Tr. J. of Earth Sciences E. ALTUNEL 7 (1998) 25-35 © TÜBİTAK Evidence for Damaging Historical Earthquakes at Priene, Western Turkey Erhan ALTUNEL Osmangazi Universitesi Jeoloji Müh. Bölümü, Bademlik, Eskişehir-TURKEY Received: 29.08.1997 Abstract: The ancient cilty of Priene was one of the earliest Ionian settlements within the western part of the Büyük Menderes valley (the ancient Maeander River) and was first founded about 8 km in the east of the present site. The old Priene was probably destroyed by a destructive earthquake in the 350s BC and the city was shifted to the existing place in 350 BC. The new city contains an abundance of evidence related to earthquakes. The following evidence indicates that damaging earthquakes, occurred in the Büyük Menderes graben, caused great damage to the new Priene. (1) Part of the Sacred Stoa is offset by about 5 cm dextrally and about 50 cm vertically; (2) in the western end of the Sacred Stoa, stair blocks are displaced and tilted; (3) block stones of a N- S- trending street wall are displaced and tilted about 16˚ to north; (4) floor blocks of the agora are displaced and broken; (5) block stones of a semicircular building and two adjacent columns, near the nothwestern corner of the agora, are tilted up to 16˚ to north and (6) the lower column-shafts in the Temple of Athena broken all the way around on their bottoms. In addition, restoration of some public buildings (such as the agora, the theatre, street walls and water reservoirs) in the cilty centre in different times and renovation of the cult statue and the altar in the Temple of Athena indicate that the city was affected by damaging earthquakes at various times after it was rebuilt.
