  • Allways Traveller to Monemvasia Greece
    Monemvasia, Greece www.allwaystraveller.com So worth going those extra miles The Greek municipality of Monemvasia sits at the seouth easern tip of the country's Peloponnese region. The Kastro (Castle Town) of Monemvasia, which is the 'must see' of the area, has been carved over the centuries from the cliff side of a rocky island located some 400 metres off shore. This remarkable walled town is a maze of Byzantine, Ottoman, and Venetian houses dating back to the 13th century. The ruins of the castle itself along with the original island settlement are perched atop the rock - one hundred metres above sea level. Beyond the Kastro, visitors to this part of Greece will discover a more serene way of life with secluded beaches, small fishing ports and a genuinely warm welcome. www.monemvasia.gr/eng Ashley Gibbins Managing editor AllWays traveller A personal view of Monemvasia While in Monemvasia Take a guided tour Aegean memories to cherish By Ashley Gibbins The selling point for many a European short haul sunshine break is the convenience of the destination itself.

The peninsula is divided among three administrative regions : most belongs to the Peloponnese region, with smaller parts belonging to the West Greece and Attica regions. The Peloponnese is a peninsula that covers an area of some 21, It is connected to the mainland by the Isthmus of CorinthSouthern Peloponnese the Corinth Canal was constructed in However, it is also connected to the mainland by several bridges across the canal, including two submersible bridges at the north and the south Southern Peloponnese. Near the northern tip of the peninsula, there is another bridge, the Rio—Antirrio bridge completed Indeed, the Southern Peloponnese is rarely, if ever, referred to as an island. The peninsula has a mountainous interior and deeply indented coasts. The Peloponnese possesses four south-pointing peninsulas, the Messenianthe Manithe Cape Malea also known as Epidaurus Limeraand the Southern Peloponnese in the far northeast of the Peloponnese. The entire peninsula is earthquake prone and has been the site of many earthquakes in the past. Extensive lowlands are found only in the west, except for the Evrotas valley in the south and the Argolid in the northeast. Southern Peloponnese Peloponnese is home to numerous spectacular beaches, which are a major tourist draw. Two groups of islands lie off the Peloponnesian coast: the Argo-Saronic Islands to the east, and the Ionian to the west.

  • Marsilea Aegyptiaca (Marsileaceae) on the Mediterranean Island of Elafonisos (Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece)
    FERN GAZ. 20(7): 293-300. 2018 293 MARSILEA AEGYPTIACA (MARSILEACEAE) ON THE MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND OF ELAFONISOS (LACONIA, PELOPONNESE, GREECE) Armin Jagel1 & Marcus Lubienski2 1 Danziger Str. 2, 44789 Bochum, Germany; [email protected] 2 Am Quambusch 25, 58135 Hagen, Germany; [email protected] Key Words: Marsilea aegyptiaca, Elafonisos, Greece, European species ABSTRACT The water-clover species Marsilea aegyptiaca was first detected on the Mediterranean island of Elafonisos (Peloponnese, Greece) nearly 25 years ago. This was the first record for the species as part of the European flora. Recent work has shown that M. aegyptiaca still occurs at the site, and data are presented concerning its identification, habitat and distribution. Morphological characters of all known European species within the genus are compared. INTRODUCTION Water-clovers (Marsilea L.) are heterosporous ferns and the most species rich group within the Marsileaceae. The family additionally comprises the pillworts (Pilularia L.) and the monotypic genus Regnellidium Lindm. All three genera are aquatic to semi- aquatic rhizomatous plants with roots and leaves born at nodes and sori arranged in sporocarps (Kramer, 1990; Nagalingum et al., 2006). Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that the Clover ferns (Marsileaceae) together with the Floating ferns (Salviniaceae; Salvinia Seg. and Azolla Lam.) represent a monophyletic group of heterosporous ferns within the fern clade, which evolved in the Mesozoic (Pryer, 1999; Smith et al., 2006; Nagalingum et al., 2006). Twentieth century treatments of the genus mainly focussing on morphology have been published for Africa (Launert, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1984), Australia (Jones, 1998), India (Gupta, 1962), and the Americas (Johnson, 1986).

  • Greece): New and Additional Records and Updated Record Maps
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 26, No. 2: 145-175 (2020) RESEARCH ARTICLE Alien species in southern Laconia, Kythira Island and southern Messenia (Greece): new and additional records and updated record maps Claudius Marius Pirkenseer ORCID ID: 0000-0003-1843-5785 Department of Geosciences, University of Fribourg, Chemin du musée 6, Fribourg, SWITZERLAND Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Six non-indigenous species are recorded from southern Laconia, Elafonisos Island, Kythira Island and Messenia (Greece, Mediterranean Sea) along regularly observed transects, including updates to their distribution maps (status year-end 2019). The sightings of Pterois miles (Scorpaeniformes, Scorpaenidae), Diadema setosum (Diadematoida, Diadematidae), Torquigener flavimaculosus (Tetradontiformes, Tetradontidae), Abudefduf vaigiensis (Perciformes, Pomacentridae), Stephanolepis diaspros (Tetradontiformes, Monacanthidae) and Enchelycore anatina (Anguiliformes, Muraenidae) represent either first regional records or confirm the presence of the respective taxon. Observable morphological characteristics of the individuals are presented and discussed in the context of general morphological information. Distribution of the taxa is discussed in the context of the general current regime of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, a simple method for counting large numbers of fish individuals based on point counts using underwater images is presented. Keywords: Non-indigenous species, Mediterranean Sea, Pterois miles, Torquigener flavimaculosus, Abudefduf vaigiensis, Diadema setosum Received: 25.05.2020, Accepted: 26.08.2020 Introduction The impact of alien species on regional environments in areas with established non-indigenous populations in the Levantine Sea has been investigated for some time (e.g. Golani 1998).
