AH information derived from this thesis must be acknowledged appropriately. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Geography, University of Durham December 2000 Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, unless stated otherwise. Spyridoula Penny Travlou Urban Tourism in Athens: Tourist Mytlis and Images Doctor of Philosophy January 2001 This thesis explores and analyses the mythical quality of modem Athens as experienced by tourists. It is an exploration of the tourist gaze upon the Athenian landscape, as well as an account of how tourists narrate its urban mythology. This research is largely concerned with the relationship of time and space through memory, exploring the interplay between the spatial arrangement of urban elements, temporality and the experience of the city. Athens is viewed as a city marked by a temporal collage where different historical periods are juxtaposed. This juxtaposition gives Athens the character of a deconstructed city. The city is made present through spatialised remainders, her genius loci. This thesis thus analyses the relationship between Athens past and the present, the strangely familiar and the stereotypically exotic, as interwoven within an urban landscape imagined, gazed and finally, narrated by foreign tourists. The core argument of this work is that the Athenian landscape embodies an urban mythology constructed by the nineteenth century romantic travellers: these, through their writings, fashioned the stereotypical imagery of Athens. Modem tourists are the consumers of these myths. Like their nineteenth century predecessors, tourists stroll around the city following the traces of their memory - key landmarks and symbols, recognising what they have already known; feeling nostalgic for the past -their past, fragmenting the landscape into different historic layers, depopulating it from its present inhabitants, orientalising it. In this work I explore the transmission and reinvention of the myths of Athens through guidebooks, travel brochures, guided tours and tourist photographs. The exploration of the different images of Athens as visualised by tourists leads to a discussion of gendered, orientalised, literary, photographic and cartographic aspects of the Athenian urban landscape. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on post-modemism, post-stmcturalism and semiotics. My research methods have been qualitative, including both in-depth interviews and participant observation, following tourists around the city and participating in their activities. I also analysed the ways tourists 'gaze' and photograph the city. My intention is to draw -metaphorically speaking- a mental map including the sites visited, consumed and experienced by tourists. Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was partly funded by the ESRC and the Department of Geography, University of Durham. I am grateful to both organisations; without their financial support it would have been too difficult for me to carry out this research. My fieldwork in Athens was funded by the Erasmus/Socrates Educational Program of the European Community. I want to thank many people for their help and support during the research for and writing of this thesis. My greatest debt is to my supervisors, Dr. Mike Crang and Professor Ray Hudson, whose academic and moral support was of the greatest importance to me, I am deeply thankful to Mike for our long conversations, which really stimulated my intellectual interests and expanded my knowledge in many aspects of cultural geography. I also thank him for being so patient and understanding during the final year of the thesis which was a very difficult time for me. Without his encouragement and support I do not think this thesis would have been completed. As for Ray, I am indebted to him for trying very hard to keep timetables, something that did not work all the time, and also for sorting out administrative and financial issues. I am also grateful to those scholars in Athens who gave me support and advice in many different ways. Professor Dina Vaiou (NTUA) for helping me to deal with all these trivial administrative issues in relation to my Erasmus status. Professor Sofia Avgerinou-Kolonia (NTUA) gave me the opportunity to participate in two major research projects on urban tourism in Athens and introduced me to key-informants in Ministries and tourist organisations. My fieldwork would have been very difficult without her assistance and advice. Professor Paris Tsartas (University of the Aegean) deserves special thanks for sharing with me his expertise on Greek tourism. Finally, I appreciate the kindness of Dr. Loukia Droulia and Dr. George Tolias (National Centre of Neo-Hellenic Studies) who advised me on nineteenth century romantic travellers and guidebooks and who also lent me valuable and rare books. Many thanks also to Katerina Leivadara and Efi Sarantakou; working with them at NTUA was great fun! Acknowledgements I wish to offer many thanks to all those people who agreed to participate in my research. My greatest debt is to all those tourists I interviewed and who were so kind to spend part of their spare time in Athens with me, answering to my probably boring and often indiscreet questions. I am also very thankful to all the key-informants who gave me access to valuable information and data. I thank the tour-operators Giannis Votsis and George Tsilidis, the hotel owners of Dorian Iim Hotel and Students'Inn Hostel, the tour-leaders Eirene and Lynn, and Antonis Kremmydas at the Ministry of Urban Planning and Environment. Words are not enough to express my gratitude to my family and friends who supported me in all possible ways during the progress of this thesis; to Stathis, Dina, Panagis and Tasia, whose patience and support, love and kindness are beyond description. I feel really sorry that I did not spend more time with them in difficult periods. I also thank all these friends I left behind in Athens and who spent so much effort to keep in touch with me: Vassilis, Hara, Chrisfina S., Leonidas, Alexandra, Stathis. Of course, I thank, too, all my fiiends here in Britain and whose company and warm friendship kept me going: Christina K., George, Joanna, Yi-Hsien, Barbara M., Dinos, Boris, Giannis, Photini, Fergus, Henry in Durham and Nadja, Vaggelis, Maria, Khalil, Cahit, Barbara B., Christos, Jamie in Edinburgh. Special thanks to Gregoris not only for the hundred of photocopies he did for me but for the long and sfimulating conversations we had all these years. My flatmates in Shinding Co-Op in Edinburgh deserve many thanks for their patience and interest for my emofional and physical well-being. Finally, I should be thankful to my friend Nikos for his proof-reading and help in completing my thesis, but most of all for his creative imagination and original ideas. Even in bad times, he made me remember that we are fellow-travellers. Contents CONTENTS Page PROLOGUE 1 CHAPTER 1: URBAN TOURISM IN ATHENS 12 1.1. hitroducfion 1.2.

  • Ancient Greek Syllabus Greek
    ANN ROINN OIDEACHAIS THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE ANCIENT GREEK SYLLABUS GREEK 1. RATIONALE 1.1 Greek, of which the modern Greek language is its latest development, belongs to the family of Indo-European languages. With the decipherment of the linear B tablets, the written record of the Greek language now extends back to at least 1200 B.C. 1.2 The ancient Greeks were the first European people to record comprehensively -consciously and unconsciously - their intellectual development in the historical, psychological, political, philosophical, literary, artistic and mathematical domains. Consequently the roots of most major intellectual pursuits today derive ultimately from a Greek foundation. In the political field, for example, we owe to the Greeks our notions of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy. Indeed the words we use to indicate such political situations are themselves Greek, as is the fundamental term 'politician'. Likewise, the need we feel to investigate and record impartially contemporary events for future generations (essentially current affairs and history) was a Greek preoccupation. (The Greek word historia means both 'the activity of learning by inquiry' and 'the retelling of what one has learnt by inquiry', which is what the great Greek historians and philosophers tried to do.) 1.3 The Greeks recorded this intellectual development not only with the brilliant clarity of pioneers but with a sublimity which transcends its era and guarantees its timelessness. 1.4 The particular educational importance of Greek rests on the following general

The Greek Government through the Hellenic Gaming Commission (“HGC”), is initiating an international tender process for licensing, in Athens, one of the first European Integrated Resort Casinos (“IRC”). The Hellinikon IRC (“Project”), is envisaged to operate under a “wide range” type license that will allow for the development of a casino accompanied by hospitality, retail, leisure, and MICE facilities. This represents a landmark opportunity for an IRC in the as yet underpenetrated European market, occupying a designated prime location within the Hellinikon - Ag. Kosmas Metropolitan Area (“Hellinikon”) on the site of the Athens former international airport and the adjacent coastal front at the core of the area known as the “Athens Riviera”. The Hellinikon site is under privatization according to the provisions of a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, already ratified by L.4422/2016. In this respect, the preferred bidder of the Project will need to reach an agreement for the land with the future owner. Further details on the relationship with the landowner will be provided at a further stage of the licensing process.
