Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon (the most eminent monument of the ancient Greek architecture) built. Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia. Tere are remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Te famous lion - carved from the native rock in the 6th c. BCE - can be seen just north-east of Kea town. Another highlight is the beautiful anchorage of Poleis.

    Unspoilt Cyclades Andros-Tinos-Syros Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour Details, Itinerary, What’s included, Itinerary Changes, Terrain, Condition Grading, Starting point and getting there, Food, Weather, Gear checklist, Currency & Banking, Passports, Visas Greece has always been among the most popular holiday destinations worldwide, especially due to its countless amazing islands. Each of them has something special to offer, and apart from the most popular such as Santorini, Mykonos and Crete there are a number of other islands which are less touristy, yet extremely beautiful and worth visiting. This trip takes you to islands ideal for those who don’t like tourist-packed places and who are feeling adventurous and want to discover destinations off the beaten path. It starts in Athens, and after visiting the Acropolis and the new Acropolis museum, we will hop on our ferry to Andros. It is the second-largest island of the Cyclades, with a long and proud seafaring tradition and a walker’s paradise. Its wild mountains are traversed by fertile valleys with bubbling streams and ancient stone mills. After spending three nights in Andros take the ferry to Tinos, a wonderland of natural beauty, dotted with more than forty marble-ornamented villages found in hidden bays, on terraced hillsides and atop misty mountains. For the last part of the trip spend a day in Syros, exploring Ermoupolis, the leading commercial and industrial center of Cyclades, as well as its main port, since it was founded in the 1820s.

  • Structure and History of Hellenides
    Argyriadis, I. and Forti, S., 2016. Structure and history of Hellenides. Boletín Geológico y Minero, 127 (2/3): 575-592 ISSN: 0366-0176 Structure and history of Hellenides Ion Argyriadis(1) and Silvia Forti(2) (1) Cabinet de Géologie Argyriadis, 975 chemin du Pré de Caune, 83740 La Cadière d’Azur, France [email protected] (2) Via Verseiner 44/B, Meltina, 39010 Italia [email protected] ABSTRACT This study is based on some new field observations made on the group of the Eastern Hellenic regions. Our observations have led us to adopt a simplified view of the paleogeography of the Greek mainland before the Alpine orogenesis. The subsequent varied tectonic units originate mainly from the following paleogeo- graphic areas: • A carbonate Arabo-African shelf margin which displays several lateral transitions, ridges and basins. On the Greek mainland this margin is represented by the Preapulian, Ionian, Gavrovo-Tripolis, Parnassos zones, the Olympus platform and probably the Kavala and Thassos marble. • A transition zone from the shelf units to the Tethys ophiolites (Pindos Zone, Styra, Argolis and Hydra, Eretrias new unit). • Tethys ophiolites, which might represent either an “ocean” fault zone or subduction of the lithosphere along a weak area. • A Hercynian continental mass (Serbomacedonian). This group is currently completed by the presence of a large tectonic mélange connected to the ophiolite overthrust. Key words: Hellenides, structural geology, ophiolites emplacement, actualism Estructura e historia de las Helénides RESUMEN Recientes trabajos de campo nos permiten llegar a una nueva lectura del conjunto de datos así como a la nue- va interpretación que resulta de los mismos Distinguimos por ende, para el conjunto de las Hellenidas, cinco unidades paleo-geográficas mayores, escalonadas entre Paleo África y Europa, quiénes, mediantes fases tectónicas superpuestas - y no paralelas, ni tampoco de igual desplazamiento, conformaron el edifico actual: • Una plataforma carbonatada arabo-africana, incluyendo variaciones laterales y longitudinales.

  • Naxos, Koufonisi, Amorgos Table of Contents Trip
    Naxos, Koufonisi, Amorgos Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour Details, Itinerary, What’s included, Itinerary Changes, Terrain, Condition Grading, Accommodation, Starting point and getting there, Food, Weather, Gear checklist, Currency & Banking, Passports, Visas For most people the Cycladic islands, are synonymous with the term, “The Greek Islands. White washed houses, turquoise blue seas, olive groves and sun parched landscapes. It is here where man lived in harmony with the environment for thousands of years and we believe that hiking in Cycladic islands offers you a unique opportunity to connect with their past and present. Step by step you will get to know the secrets of the islands, each of them stamped with its own unique character. The trip starts in Naxos, the largest and one of the most extraordinary islands of the Cyclades if one can be in a position to choose. It is an island with incredible landscape interchanges, Venetian castles and traditional villages perched on the cliffs of its mountains. After spending three days there we will take the ferry to Koufonisi, the small diamond of the Cyclades, which lies within between Naxos and Amorgos. Life goes on slowly here, in a microcosm living with its own relaxed rhythms, right in the middle of the Cyclades. Different sense of time, different behaviors, different dimensions. Last destination on our trip will be the island of Amorgos, marked by tradition and history. The mountainous island is still a well-kept secret destination, and a hiker’s paradise. If you are searching for “Original Greece” you should definitely visit Amorgos.
