Parrhasian Trails - 2017 Contracting authority: Αναπτυξιακή Πελοποννήσου Α.Ε. Έργο: Παρράσια μονοπάτια Καταγραφή και ανάδειξη ορειβατικών μονοπατιών Η AnaDigit ανέλαβε την μελέτη αποτύπωσης του μεγάλου πεζοπορικού κύκλου γύρω από το Λύκαιο, που είναι γνωστά ως Παρράσια Μονοπάτια, καθότι περιτρέχουν την αρχαία Παρρασία. Η ομάδα μελέτης εγκαταστάθηκε 7 μέρες στην περιοχή, υπό την καθοδήγηση και συνεχή υποστήριξη του Φώτη Ζώη. Τα Παρράσια Μονοπάτια αποτελούνται από 8 τμήματα συνολικού μήκους 88.4 χλμ. Η διαδρομή έχει σαν αφετηρία και τερματισμό την Καρύταινα, αλλά ως κυκλική μπορεί να έχει οποιαδήποτε αφετηρία. Επιπλέον της κεντρικής χάραξης, υπάρχουν πολλά παρακλάδια που οδηγούν σε γειτονικά χωριά ή άλλους προορισμούς (όπως ο αρχαιολογικός χώρος του Λυκαίου ή του Επικούρειου Απόλλωνα) ή γεφυρώνουν συντομεύσεις ανάμεσα στους κόμβους του ίδιου του δικτύου. 8 Ursa Trail - 2016 Contracting authority: Municipality of Metsovo Έργο: Αποτύπωση οριστικής χάραξης Ursa Trail Έργο: Κατασκευή χαρτών πινακίδων σήμανσης Ursa Trail Έργο: Κατασκευή εφαρμογής πεζοπορικής πλοήγησης Ursa Trail topoGuide Team: T. Adamakopoulos, R. Koutsi, G. Sofos, A. Adamakopoulos, N. Veis The Ursa Trail race is one of the most popular in Greece, thanks to the extraordinary landscapes, the proper design of the route and the excellent organization, under the responsibility of the local Metsovo Athletic Club, the support of Metsovo municipality and the help of all city authorities and professionals. The hiking version of Ursa Trail stood over the routing and waymarking of the race version, with appropriate detours to some steep or tedious parts. The hiking Ursa Trail is organized into four daily sections. Section 1: Metsovo- Anilio Ski Centre 10.9 km / 4h20' Section 2: Anilio Ski Centre-Metsovo 12.9 km / 4h30' Section 3: Metsovo-Politsoara 7.7 km / 2h15' Section 4: Politsoara-Metsovo 10 km / 3h Μετά από σχετική ανάθεση από το Δήμο Μετσόβου, η AnaDigit ανέλαβε την αποτύπωση της διαδρομής, με βάση την οποία συνέταξε τους αναλυτικούς πίνακες μετρητικών στοιχείων. Ανέλαβε επίσης την κατασκευή του ιστοτόπου ursatrail.com και της εφαρμογής πεζοπορικής πλοήγησης και των χαρτών και διαγραμμάτων για τις πινακίδες σήμανσης. 9 Zakynthos Hiking - 2016 Contracting authority: Municipality of Zakyntos Work: Surveying and planning of hiking routes in Zakynthos island Work: Developing of Zakynthos Hiking mobile applications Team: T. Adamakopoulos, R. Koutsi, I. Sofos, A. Adamakopoulos, N. Veis Το τρίτο μεγαλύτερο νησί του Ιονίου, η Ζάκυνθος, είναι ένα από τα πιό τουριστικά νησιά της Ελλάδας. Πάνω από ένα εκατομμύριο επισκέπτες κάθε χρόνο ξεκουράζονται σε κάποιο από τα εκατοντάδες καταλύματα ή εξερευνούν τις απόμερες γωνιές της. Ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό από τους επισκέπτες της Ζακύνθου αναζητούν έναν πιό φυσικό και άμεσο τρόπο να την περιηγηθούν και να την μάθουν. Εστιάζουν στα ορεινά χωριά, στις ερημικές παραλίες και τις δασωμένες κορυφές, ψάχνοντας για δρομάκια και μονοπάτια που θα τους οδηγήσουν σε κάποιο εκκλησάκι, μια σπηλιά ή μια ανώνυμη ράχη. Ο Δήμος Ζακύνθου, σε μια προσπάθεια να κατευθύνει καλύτερα τους πεζοπόρους και άλλους φιλοπερίεργους φυσιολάτρες, ανέθεσε στην AnaDigit να αποτυπώσει την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση και να συγκροτήσει πιθανές πεζοπορικές διαδρομές. Στην πρώτη φάση του έργου, αν και ελάχιστα τμήματα των παλιών ορεινών δρόμων και μονοπατιών έχουν διασωθεί στο νησί, καταβλήθηκε προσπάθεια να συνδυαστούν τα μικρά μονοπάτια με ευχάριστους χωματόδρομους και να συντεθεί ένα δίκτυο πεζοπορικής περιήγησης. Δημιουργήθηκε έτσι μια πρόταση 27 πεζοπορικών διαδρομών, που αθροίζουν 117 χλμ. Οι 27 αυτές διαδρομές περιλαμβάνονται στην εφαρμογή πεζοπορικής πλοήγησης Zakynthos hiking που προσφέρεται δωρεάν από το Δήμο

  • Greece: Peloponnese – 5 Nights Remote Mountain Villages of Southern Greece
    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Greece: Peloponnese – 5 nights Remote mountain villages of Southern Greece https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/greece-peloponnese/greece-peloponnese-5-nights/ Route Summary At a glance Greece - Peloponnese 5 night option (4 days walking) from Lagadia to Dimitsana, missing the night in Elati. Add extra nights in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana to relax and experience the culture of the region. How much walking? Full days: 14-22½ kms per day, 5-8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 9-16 kms per day, 2½-5 hrs walking using taxi starts Max. Grade: page 1/8 The Menalon Trail, named after the massif that forms the backbone of the Peloponnese (all of mainland Greece south of the Corinth Canal), uses many of the old paths and mule tracks that linked the villages with the fields, pastures and forests of this remote part of the region – it’s about as far from the sea and its undoubted attractions as you can get. With scenic hill walking, and some very pretty and thriving ancient stone villages, it is best used as the core of a longer holiday in the region – perhaps you could take in the sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and many others; hiring a car from the airport will also reduce transfer costs (see “prices”). This is an area visited by Greeks in the winter, while the spring and autumn are the preserve of the hill walkers. Even the summer is possible (though July in particular can be very hot) as much of the walking is in native pine and fir forest, with dappled sunlight enlivening the shade.

KORSÓS Dorottya Angyal and Dr. Zoltán Korsós, Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13., E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Twelve caves of Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary were examined between September 2010 and April 2013 from the millipede (Diplopoda) faunistical point of view. Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well. The cave with the most diverse fauna was the Törökpince Sinkhole, while the two previously also investigated caves, the Abaligeti Cave and the Mánfai-kőlyuk Cave provided less species, which could be related to their advanced touristic and industrial utilization.

  • Reference Evapotranspiration
    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.

    Katerina Gardikas Alexander Centre and Periphery in the 1874 Greek Elections: Competition for Political Control in Gortynia* “Thé whole of Classical mythology might represent the relics of a gigantic ‘song map’: that all the to-ing and fro-ing of gods and goddesses, the caves and sacred springs, the sphinxes and chi- maeras, and all the men and women who became nightingales or ravens, echoes or narcissi, stones or stars - could all be inter­ preted in terms of totemic geography”. Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines. In his article “Regionalism and Local Community”, John Campbell touches upon the issue of territorial identity in modem Greek culture, suggesting that regional sentiment for such large administrative units as the Morea or Roumeli, unlike that observed in Spain and Italy, is rela­ tively weak, when compared to its traditional identification with the historical district (επαρχία, the Ottoman qaza) and the community, i.e. the village or the town1. Taking Campbell’s position as a starting point, I shall examine some familiar properties of Greek national political culture with particular reference to the tension between centre and periphery, using the district of Gortynia as a case study2.1 shall focus on * This paper was presented in preliminary form in Monemvasia at the 6th annual symposium of the Monemvasiotikos Homilos on the “Contribution oF the Peloponnese to the Development of Modem Hellenism”, 23-25 July, 1993. 1.

It is unique as you start biking high in the mountains and you end up cycling next to the sea for a couple of days. It combines the magnificent fir trees of Mainalon mountain with the marvelous endless beaches lying along the Argolic Gulf. You will visit some of the most important archaeological sites in Peloponnese such as Epidaurus with the famous theatre, Mycenae that conquered during the Bronze Age, ancient Mantinea, ancient Tegea, Argos, ancient Lerna with the homonymous lake where Hercules killed the mythic beast, and the walls of ancient Tiryns. Your destination is the Central-Eastern Peloponnese where the mythical perpetual mountains meet the fantastic blue sea. Your start point is Vytina, a small traditional village in the mountains, among the trees where you have the chance to breathe the fresh air and listen to the sound of the birds.
