  • Welcome to Ioannina a Multicultural City…
    Welcome to Ioannina The city of Giannina, attraction of thousands of tourists every year from Greece and around the world, awaits the visitor to accommodate him with the Epirus known way, suggesting him to live a unique combination of rich past and impressive present. Built next to the legendary lake Pamvotis at 470 meters altitude, in the northwest of Greece, it is the biggest city of Epirus and one of the most populous in the country. History walks beside you through the places, the impressive landscape that combines mountain and water, museums with unique exhibits and monuments also waiting to lead you from the Antiquity to the Middle Byzantine and Late Byzantine period, the Turks, Modern History. And then ... the modern city with modern structures (University, Hospital, Airport, Modern Highway - Egnatia - Regional, local and long distance transportation, Spiritual and Cultural Centres) offer a variety of events throughout the year. Traditional and modern market, various entertainment options, dining and accommodation. A multicultural city… Ioannina arise multiculturally and multifacetedly not only through narrations. Churches with remarkable architecture, mosques and a synagogue, the largest in Greece, testify the multicultural character of the city. The coexistence of Christians, Muslims and Jews was established during the administration of Ali Pasha. The population exchange after the Minor Asia destruction and annihilation of most Jews by the Germans changed the proportions of the population. Muslims may not exist today and the Jews may be few, only those who survived the concentration camps, but the city did not throw off this part of the identity. Today, there are four mosques, three of them very well preserved, while the Jewish synagogue, built in 1826, continues to exist and be the largest and most beautiful of the surviving religious buildings of the Greek Jews.

  • The Parastatiki GEOMETRY in GREEK EDUCATION of 19TH
    Journal of Applied Mathematics & Bioinformatics, vol.7, no.3, 2017, 13-82 ISSN: 1792-6602 (print), 1792-6939 (online) Scienpress Ltd, 2017 Descriptive Geometry in the Greek Military and Technical Education during the 19th Century Andreas Kastanis1 Abstract Greece came into contact with Descriptive Geometry (henceforth, DG) relatively early. Monge’s courses were taught for a long time in the Greek Military Academy. During the second half of the 19th century the teaching of Descriptive Geometry blossomed. In some of its applications, and especially in the field of Perspective, there were certain ideological obstacles, which were, however, overcome with the advent of Enlightenment. The teaching of DG was extended at the Greek Technical University (Polytechnic School), at the Greek Naval Academy and the School of Non-commissioned Officers (NCO). The French textbooks, written by Leroy or Olivier, were used as the core material for the Greek handbooks. During the last two decades of the 19th Century, the first books which were published in Greek, were mostly translations of the aforementioned French ones. It is also noteworthy that the vast majority of professors were military officers. 1 Department of Theoretical Sciences, Hellenic Military Academy, 166 73, Vari Attikis, Greece.

Northern Epirus is the smallest of the disputed territories in Europe, and its population is not more than 300,000.

  • A Tour of the Pattichion Municipal Museum – Limassol's Historical Archive and Studies Centre
    A TOUR OF THE PATTICHION MUNICIPAL MUSEUM – LIMASSOL’S HISTORICAL ARCHIVE AND STUDIES CENTRE “A museum for Limassol’s contemporary and charming romanticism” By Mimis Sofocleous Scientific Director of the Historical Archive Welcome to “Pattichion Municipal Museum, Historical Archive and Studies Centre”. The Historical Archive is an independent establishment, founded by the Limassol Municipality, aiming to promote the establishment’s principles, which is led by 11 board members, with the current Mayor of the city acting as the President of the management board. Mr. Andreas Christou is currently the Mayor and President of the management board. 1 The building’s opening took place on November 14, 2011. Here is a photograph from the revelation of the sign which is located on the building’s entrance. (The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Neoklis Sylikiotis, at the opening of the first Studies Centre of the Press and Information Office, with the Mayor of Limassol) (The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Neoklis Sylikiotis with the Mayor of Limassol, Mr. Andreas Christou at the opening of the Historical Archive, 14th November 2011.) 2 3 Before entering the Museum, it would be helpful to reference the establishment’s philosophy, adopted by the Historical Archive, Museum and Studies Centre of the Limassol Municipality, which is built on the basis of a simple question and an even simpler answer: ‐“How old is Limassol’s present?” ‐“A s old as the narration in written and oral testimonials, the information, the documents and heilrooms that can be seen in front of us every day (starting from our self‐discovery as parts of an individual and collective memory of our city).” From today until the older days, Limassol never ceased its cultural growth, and this is why we can observe a constant presence, going through a lot of different names before settling on its current one; Limassol.

    DER PRÄFEKTUR EPIRUS - GRIECHENLAND Epirus Prafektur Ioannina Die Präfektur Ioannina besteht aus einer wunderschönen gebirgigen Landschaft im Nordwesten Griechenlands. Ihr Naturreichtum und ihr Kulturerbe sind trotz des Zivilisationsprozesses in all den Jahren unverändert geblieben. Für Naturliebhaber ist diese Präfektur ein Paradies. Imposante gebirgige Landschaften, tiefe Schluchten, die sich durch die strömenden Gebirgsflüsse mit ihrem glasklaren Wasser gebildet haben, seltene wilde Blumen, Bergwiesen, Gebirgsseen, bewaldete Hügel, aber auch friedliche Täler bilden eine faszinierende natürliche Umgebung , die ein geniales Biotop für seltene Säugetier- und Vogelarten, aber auch für im Wasser lebende Tiere bietet. Aufgrund dieser Vielfalt der Natur ist diese Gegend vor allem für Menschen geeignet, die das Abenteuer suchen, vor allem weil die Umgebung viele Möglichkeiten an Wassersportarten bietet. Gleichzeitig ist es eine Gegend, die Erholung von den stressigen Rhythmen des Stadtlebens bietet. Geeignet für alle, die relaxen und die Stille der Natur genießen wollen. Die Gegend hat viele Denkmäler, die Einblick in die leuchtende Geschichte der Präfektur geben. Eine Geschichte, die sowohl in ihren religiösen und archäologischen Denkmälern wieder lebendig wird, als auch in ihren traditionellen Siedlungen, den Wassermühlen und den vielen kleinen Brücken, sowie in den Sitten, der traditionellen Musik, den Volksfesten und in der Lebensart der Bewohner. Hier erlebte das Heiligtum von Dodonis seine Blütenzeit, sowie die Städte der Molossen in der Antike. Die vielen Klöster und Kirchen, die Stätten des Betens und des inneren Friedens sind, hatten ihre Blütenzeit während des Byzantinischen Reiches und während der Türkenherrschaft. Dies bezeugen vor allem die vielen Wandmalereien, in den Kirchen und Klöstern, die in der ganzen Präfektur verstreut sind. Seit Jahrtausenden vereinigen sich hier Geschichte und Legende, Geist und Kultur, sowie Kunst und volkstümliche Überlieferung.
