  • Postcollisional Contractional and Extensional Deformation in the Aegean Region
    Downloaded from specialpapers.gsapubs.org on June 15, 2015 Geological Society of America Special Paper 409 2006 Postcollisional contractional and extensional deformation in the Aegean region Sotirios Kokkalas* Paraskevas Xypolias Ioannis Koukouvelas Theodor Doutsos Department of Geology, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece ABSTRACT In the Aegean area, distinct fault patterns with their associated stress regimes are evidenced along a curved convergent plate boundary. In this article, we analyze and review late collisional and extensional structures in five structural regions along the External Hellenides orogenic belt in order to define, primarily, the evolution of on- shore basins and, secondarily, the evolution of off-shore basins and the role of the in- herited structures within the present geotectonic framework. We also evaluate how these structures act on seismicity as well as present-day motion and magmatism in the Aegean area. Northwestern Greece, which corresponds to our Region I, represents an area of active continental collision in which a previously overthickened crust collapsed mainly parallel to the structural grain of the orogen. At present, the most active structures in this region are the northwest-trending thrusts and the northeast-trending normal faults. Strong coupling and the transmission of horizontal forces from the collision front appear to explain the deformation within this region. Central Greece (Region II) displays a mixed type of contractional-extensional deformation. Mesozoic inherited transverse structures are reactivated as WNW- trending faults and appear to accommodate most of the active north-south-trending present-day extension. Deformation in this area appears to be controlled both by roll- back of the subducting slab and by the lateral extrusion of the Anatolia plate.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

  • The Best of Greece
    05_598317 ch01.qxd 10/5/05 11:06 PM Page 6 1 The Best of Greece Greece is, of course, the land of ancient sites and architectural treasures—the Acrop- olis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, and the reconstructed palace at Knos- sos among the best known. But Greece is much more: It offers age-old spectacular natural sights, for instance—from Santorini’s caldera to the gray pinnacles of rock of the Meteora—and modern diversions ranging from elegant museums to luxury resorts. It can be bewildering to plan your trip with so many options vying for your attention. Take us along and we’ll do the work for you. We’ve traveled the country extensively and chosen the very best that Greece has to offer. We’ve explored the archaeological sites, visited the museums, inspected the hotels, reviewed the tavernas and ouzeries, and scoped out the beaches. Here’s what we consider the best of the best. 1 The Best Travel Experiences • Making Haste Slowly: Give yourself preparing you for the unexpected in time to sit in a seaside taverna and island boat schedules!

  • Tsepelovo (Epirus) with Giorgos Kapsalis
    Seminar of Greek Dance with Giorgos Kapsalis and Dina Koukoufiki Epirus -Tsepelovo - Zagorochoria, 22 July – 30 July 2019 Giorgos Kapsalis and Dina Koukoufiki are organising a traditional dance workshop, which will take place in Epirus, in the village of Tsepelovo, Zagorochoria. The workshop begins on 22th July and ends on 30st July right after breakfast. Tsepelovo is one of the villages in the famous Zagori and it is located in Epirus, in the prefecture of Ioannina. Majestic canyons, stone stairs, unique bridges and endless peaks compose the image that the visitor confronts in this area. Forty-six scattered villages, like eagle's nests, spread among the mountains of Timfi, Mitsikeli and Lygkos. The seminar will be a small trip for all of us, to the special region of Epirus, with its wonderful music and songs, with its simple and strange dances. During the workshop, songs, customs and traditions will be taught mainly from different villages of the region of Epirus. There will be daily dance teaching, songs learning and traditional costumes presentation by the corresponding introducer of each region. Furthermore, we are going to have the opportunity to visit corresponding villages, to participate in feasts with the residents of the villages and to taste their local foods. In addition, during the seminar will be taught dances and songs from regions of Greece. We will be accommodated at the hotel Drakolimni www.drakolimni.com which is built with local carved stone and all its spaces have been decorated according to the traditional Zagorian architecture. Every evening, feasts will be held at the hotel or the squares of several villages.
