Making time for your art helps you grow as artist. And when you give yourself an adventure, a pleasurable experience, you add value to your life. Wouldn’t it be great to do both and rediscover your love of life doing what you enjoy - traveling and creating art, in the heart of the place where classical art began? So you don't get lost when seeing new colors and atmosphere, Linda will teach you a six-step process to help ease your struggle. You'll see how to capture the colors, textures and feelings when working en plein air, in a series of online sessions, before you arrive in Greece! In the first online session, you will meet one of our hosts, George Panagakos, winner of the American Society of Media Photographers “Best of” Awards. We will travel to Greece with George virtually, as he shares his knowledge about composition when capturing a scene with the camera. From these photos, you will prepare sketches to be ready for our arrival. Our goal is to give you more time in Greece to paint, relax and have fun. Are you ready to paint in plein air in “Europe’s Best Place to Visit”? I’m ready! Let’s paint the Peloponnese Imagine painting where Olympian gods played, where Spartans battled, and where the epic poet Homer found the inspiration for his tales, The Odyssey and The Iliad. The romance of country life comes alive in the Peloponnese. Kalamata olive groves line the mountainsides and citrus groves add colour and energy to the landscape. From the quaint villages with immense character to the food that is grown and made with love, there is no doubt your heart will be wide open here. Add award-winning beaches, historic churches and castles, sun-filled days, warm and hospitable people, diverse topography, and you have the perfect place for an artistic and soul-fulfilling retreat. Molais Monemvasia, lower town Our home in Greece Blue Seas Villa in Plytra, Laconia, is a historical family home owned by the Panagakos family for over 100 years. With 5,600 sq. ft. (520 m²), custom artisan details, cooling marble floors, and indoor and outdoor space to paint, our Greek country retreat has 6 spacious bedrooms and 3 shared full bathrooms. Each bedroom has direct outdoor access. Upper-floor rooms enjoy their own spacious verandas with sea and mountain views, while the Xenones wing has access to the main floor veranda with panoramic views of the lapis lazuli blue bay. You’ll be swept away by the open, airy living spaces and scenes of the Aegean Sea, Xili Bay, and the ruins of Ancient Asopos from every room in the house. And it’s all within 5 minutes walking distance from several top- rated beaches and historical sites. © Linda Richichi Blue Seas Villa Entrance About the village Plytra is a charming sea-side village, and one of Greece’s best-kept destination secrets. With its accessibility from Athens (just 3.5 hours by car), inspiring scenery, peaceful ambiance and proximity to some of the Peloponnese’s top attractions, it’s easy to see why Greeks choose Plytra as their summer home. Authentically Greek restaurants and taverns, a mini-mart with ample necessities, several crystal clear beaches and that ever-inspiring scenery are all within a few minutes walking distance. Modern-day Plytra is also the site of Ancient Asopos, a prosperous port city until 365 AD when a strong earthquake sank the town into Xili Bay. Today, you can walk amongst its ruins on land, or discover them by snorkeling in the sea. Are you ready to let Dionysos and Poseidon, the official Greek gods of the village, inspire you and help you find your muse? Asopitan Beach in Plytra © George Panagakos Type to enter textAbout Plytra Beaches WITHin Walking Distance Asopitan Plaz - A spectacular, Blue Flag award-winning, shallow, sand beach with picture-book turquoise water. It features a cosmopolitan beach club, clean bathroom facilities, and plush sun loungers with bamboo umbrellas for rent. - 10 minutes walk from the villa. Paralia Plytra - This is the smaller, sugar sand beach central to the village. It is next to a tavern, which serves up delicious food and where you can see many of the local characters having lunch or enjoying a frappé. 5-7 minute walk from the villa. Kokkines - Kokkines means “red clay.” The water is a little deeper and a little cooler here. The real cool factor is that you are literally swimming above the sunken city of Ancient Asopos. 5 minute walk from the villa. Amouli - Follow the path from Kokkines, and up the road a little further you find this practically empty cove and pebble beach. At the right time of day, you’ll also meet the horses that live there. 20 minutes walk from the villa, with some slopes. Painting and photography sites The Venetsanaki House — This picturesque structure on the edge of the bay was the first “modern” house built in Plytra. It is a favourite site among visitors and local legend says Theodoros Kolokotronis, the pre-eminent leader of the Greek War of Independence, was often a guest. The Dock — In the early morning, the local fishermen come in with their daily catch. These old wooden boats lined up along the dock and the colourful nets spread out drying in the sun make for a fascinating subject. Ancient Asopos — The ruins contain tombs, at least two bathhouses, reservoirs and mosaic floors made from locally excavated marble. The view of the Aegean Sea with mountains in the distance is spectacular. The Olive Groves — The magic and unique character of olive trees has inspired works by Sargent, Van Gogh, Monet, Degas, and Dali. How will they inspire you? Plytra Dock at Sunset Olive Tree in Plytra Seasonal Notes During our visit, you will find summer weather with rugged, lunar landscapes that will challenge you to master your neutrals, contrasting against deep, ultramarine blue seas. Late rains extend the life of fauna and exotic flora. Average temperatures ranges from low 80’s to mid 90’s F (30-34C) during the day and mid 60’s to low 70’s (17-22C) at night. The olive trees will have fruit, the bougainvillea will be vibrant with richly hued blooms, and we will enjoy 14 hours of warm and cool light. Click here for more details on weather.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

    VENETIANS AND OTTOMANS IN THE SOUTHEAST PELOPONNESE (15th-18th century) Evangelia Balta* The study gives an insight into the historical and economic geography of the Southeast Peloponnese frorm the mid- fifteenth century until the morrow of the second Ottoma ill conquest in 1715. It necessarily covers also the period of Venetialll rule, whiciL was the intermezzo between the first and second perio.ds of Ottoman rule.

Chapter Four The Stone-Built Palaiomaniatika of the Mani Peninsula, Greece Rebecca M. Seifried The Mani peninsula, the southernmost projection of the Peloponnese in Greece, is the location of over 170 settlements with preserved stone-built architecture from the premodern era (Figure 1). These remarkable places are known locally as palaiomaniatika (old Maniat settlements) or palaio- chores (old villages). The settlements are small, comprising between 10 and 50 houses, and they were built and occupied by local residents of the Mani peninsula. The vernacular architecture of the houses is relatively ho- mogenous, constituting the typical one- or two-story rectangular layout (i.e. the “longhouse”) that is common throughout rural landscapes in the Peloponnese (Sigalos 2004a, 2004b:66; Stedman 1996:185–186). Roughly half of the settlements are still inhabited today, with the same houses that were built centuries ago serving as the foundations for modern homes and newer buildings constructed in the spaces between to form the nucleated settlement layout that is typical of modern Greek villages.

    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) Methods Implemented as ArcMap Models with Remote-Sensed and Ground-Based Inputs, Examined along with MODIS ET, for Peloponnese, Greece Stavroula Dimitriadou and Konstantinos G. Nikolakopoulos * Department of Geology, University of Patras, 26504 Rion, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-261-099-759-2 Abstract: The present study develops ArcMap models to implement the following three methods: FAO-56 Penman–Monteith (FAO PM), Hargreaves–Samani (HS) and Hansen, with the former used as a reference. Moreover, three models implementing statistical indices (RMSD, MB, NMB) are also created. The purpose is threefold, as follows: to investigate the variability in the daily mean reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for the Decembers and Augusts during 2016–2019, over Pelopon- nese, Greece. Furthermore, to investigate the agreement between the methods’ ETo estimates, and examine the former along with MODIS ET (daily) averaged products. The study area is a complex Mediterranean area. Meteorological data from sixty-two stations under the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), and MODIS Terra LST products, have been employed. FAO PM is found sensitive to Citation: Dimitriadou, S.; wind speed and depicts interactions among climate parameters (T, evaporative demand and water Nikolakopoulos, K.G.

Hargreaves–Samani’s estimations for the Decembers of 2016–2019 were almost Implemented as ArcMap Models with identical to MODIS ET, despite their different physical meaning.
