    Gatzea I: Dissemination strategies for Heritage Elisa DAMIANIDOU Pelion Geography Pelion is a mountain at the southeastern part of Thessaly in central Greece, forming a peninsula in hook-shape between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea. 1 Thessaly, Magnesia, Mountain Pelion Mythology Regarding the Greek mythology, Mount Pelion took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, and was the homeland of the centaurs; the mythical creatures presented as part human and part horse. Most famous is the Chiron the Centaur, the wise tutor of many ancient demigods and heroes, such as Jason, Achilles, Theseus, Heracles and also Aesculapius, who then became the God of Medicine and gave life to the dead (Development Company of Pelion SA 2012:27). 2 Chiron the Centaur teaches Achilles Pelion was the place of residence of Gods in the summer and the place where the marriage of Thetis and Peleus took place. All the Olympian Gods were invited except for the goddess Eris because of her provocative inclinations. To take revenge, she brought a golden apple with the inscription "To the Fairest" and then the dispute arose between the goddesses Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. Paris, the Prince of Troy, was appointed to select the fairest by Zeus and he chose Aphrodite’s temptation that was Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world and wife of Menelaus of Sparta. Thus, the Trojan War began (Development Company of Pelion SA 2012:27). Jason and the Argonauts The voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the mythical land of Colchis was organized in Pelion too.

  • About Skopelos Island
    About Skopelos island About Skopelos island Skopelos History Sightseeing Villages & Ports Beaches Local products Useful Information Access The Sporades are a group of islands on the prefecture of Magnesia and are comprised by the islands of Skopelos, Skiathos, Alonnisos and Skyros. Skopelos is the second biggest island of the Sporades with a population of 6000 residents, an extent of ground of 96 square klms and a length of beaches of 68 klms. The ground is mountainous and around three quarters of the ground are covered by pine trees. Skopelos is the greenest island in Greece, “the green and blue island” as formally declared by the international organization of Biopolitics. It is a diamond that adorns the Aegean with an ideal environment where the green pines and dense forests blend with the light blue sea and sky creating a picture of incomparable natural beauty. Apart from pine trees there is also a rich flora as a great number of rare plants adorn the rich nature. The main road network of Skopelos is a distance of 35 klms. It stretches from the Hora to the port of Glossa (Loutraki). To enjoy all the beautiful sights of Skopelos it is helpful to have the use of a car or motorbike. If you don’t have one of your own you can rent a vehicle on the island or use the local bus or taxi service. The roads are in good condition and the ride through the forests is particularly enchanting. Nature has endued the island with some characteristics that are hard to find elsewhere.

Die gemessenen Spaltspuralter und modellierten Abkühlpfade weisen auf regionale und zeitliche Schwankungen der posteozänen Abtragungsgeschwindigkeiten hin. Zwei präeozäne Generationen von Paläokarst sind auf Skopelos zu beobachten. Die erste entwickelte sich während der Unterkreide auf triadischen Dolomiten des alten pelagonischen Schelfs. Die Bauxite und Laterite, mit denen dieser Palaeokarst versiegelt ist, sind aus verschwemmtem Material der Eohellenischen Decke hervorgegangen. Eine zweite Generation von Paläokarst entwickelte sich auf oberkretazi- schen Rudistenkalken und wurde unter palaeogenem Flysch begraben. Drei Generationen neogener Verflachungen treten auf Skopelos oberhalb von 300 m Seehöhe auf.

The phenomenon of seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers is a significant environmental issue in Greece that nowadays is considered as pollution of groundwater, which could pose a threat to human’s health through direct consumption or through irrigation processes. The objectives of this study are to identify and investigate the extent of seawater intrusion in the Nea Anchialos basin in Central Greece. For this purpose, 45 groundwater samples were collected from the study area and analyzed for certain parameters that indicated salinisation of the aquifers. Specifically, water chemical analysis were conducted and statistical analysis regarding spatial distribution were performed. The results demonstrated increased values of the parameters which can be attributed to seawater intrusion. Laboratory analyses indicated that Electrical Conductivity, +2 +2 + + - - -2 concentration for the basic cations (Ca , Mg , Na and K ), HCO3 , Cl , and SO4 varied greatly. Furthermore, - maximum NO3 concentration was 138 mg/L and this can be attributed to overexploitation of coastal aquifer for agricultural activities.

  • Environmental Planning in Magnesia Prefecture, Greece
    Transactions on Ecology and the Environment vol 67, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 Environmental planning in Magnesia prefecture, Greece K. ~ichailidou',P. samaras2,0. ~hristo~oulou', E. ~eriatos~ & A. ~un~olos~ '~e~artmenrof Management of Rural Environment and Natural Resources, University of Thessaly, Greece 2~epartmentof Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece 3~epartmentof Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, Greece Abstract The environmental planning of Magnesia Prefecture is studied in this work, aiming at the assessment of the environmental quality and the determination of the most appropriate objectives and priorities, for the achievement of the highest environmental protection level in the target area. Examination of air pollution sources showed that atmospheric pollution is mainly attributed to point sources, while the contribution of diffusion sources is negligible. In Pagasitikos Gulf, seawater pollution is increased, especially in the bay of Volos, in places where treated domestic and industrial wastewaters are discharged, and intense marine activities are developed (harbor of Volos). Moreover, significant pollution results fiom human activities such as drainage fiom rural areas, discharge of raw industrial wastewaters fiom olive processing units, and wastes from ships navigating in the area. Other important pollution problems include fiesh water salination in coastal areas, and high concentration of nitrates, related to the over- fertilization of farming lands. Sources of soil pollution include domestic and stockbreeding waste landfills, and uncontrolled landfills in Pelion area and in streams of Almyros. From the current study it is evident that significant environmental problems are detected in the Prefecture, and an integrated environmental planning program has to be developed, that will promote the preservation of the biodiversity and protect the natural resources, according to the principles of sustainable development.

A complete list of 107 ant species (including morphospecies not attributed to any known taxon) recorded from Thessaly, Greece, is presented. New records from 40 sampling localities explored during two field trips in 2012 and 2017, and also from literature data are included. Temnothorax sordidulus (MÜLLER, 1923) and Temnothorax tauricus (RUZSKY, 1902) are new to Greece; 38 species were recorded from Thessaly for the first time. KEY WORDS: ants, faunistics, Greece, Thessaly, new national records, new regional records. INTRODUCTION The ant fauna of Greece has been intensively studied in recent years. The checklist of Greek ants published by LEGAKIS (2011) can be regarded as the inspiration for further, more detailed studies. Despite a number of errors, this checklist has become the basis for further regional surveys. Other recent papers, including checklists for several Greek regions and taxonomic revisions, have enabled gaps in the knowledge of this country’s ant biodiversity to be filled (BOER 2013, BOROWIEC & SALATA 2012, 2013, 2014a, 2014b, 2017a, 2017b, 2018, BRAČKO et al. 2016, CSŐSZ et al. 2015, SALATA & BOROWIEC 2015a, 2015b, 2015c, 2016, 2017).
