Mountainous, mysterious yet welcoming, known since antiquity, Samos is the eighth largest Greek island. It boasts an amazing coastline and unique beaches, a verdant natural land- scape of forests, vineyards, ancient olive groves and charming little villages scattered on its hillsides. Glorious history and living traditions, variety of cultural activities, friendly people, exceptional local products and a unique cuisine will fascinate you. Overview of Samos Samos is the closest of the Greek islands to the Turkish coast. The dis- 2 tance of 1,300 metres separating Europe from Asia has been known since 1 ancient times as “Eptastadios Porthmos” or “Mycale Strait”. Chios lies to 3 the Northwest of Samos, Ikaria to the west, the island complex of Fournoi 4 Korseon to the southwest and the Dodecanese to the south of the island. 5 2 6 6 The town of Samos (Vathy) is the administrative centre of the munici- 3 1 4 5 pality. Karlovasi is the second largest urban centre, hosting the headquar- ters of the School of Sciences of the University of the Aegean. Pythagorio is 1.

Samos is the birthplace of great historical figures of the ancient world: the philosopher Epicurus, the founder of the heliocentric theory Aristarchos, as well as the great philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. Herodotus and Aesop also lived for long periods on the island and, according to mythol- ogy, the goddess Hera was born there. 6 Samos Guide / History Samos Guide / History 7 Emblem of the Principality Revolutionary Flag 01 02 03 04 05 06-09 10 11-12 Samian woman Ancient Quarries Temple of Hera Kouros of Samos Genoese Castle in Potami Map of Samos dated 1717 (Tournefort) of the 18th century Samos Town Hall Prehistory - Antiquity Middle Ages Principality N.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

All rights reserved. ii Dedication To Laurie Spotila: An amazing woman I was honored to have in my life and call a friend. I miss you! And To my nephews, Konstandinos and Michalis: You are my secret power! iii Acknowledgments It has been a long journey that got me to this point and there are so many people I have to thank for their support during the process for this major milestone. First of all, I would like to thank my two advisors, Dr. James R. Spotila and Dr. Stephen J. Morreale. Dr. Spotila, thank you so much for offering me the opportunity to come to Drexel and pursue a Ph.D. degree. You showed a lot of faith in me and you have been the greatest mentor any graduate student can have. You showed me the path to true scientific thinking, you provided guidance, advice and support. More than that, you took me into your home, you helped me get settled in Philadelphia and you became one of my closest friends. Dr. Morreale, you have been there with me every step of the way, working with me in the field, guiding me through data analyses and writing and teaching me everything I know about telemetry and mapping. More importantly, you taught me how to think outside the box and not let the little unimportant things get to me.

Nr. 4079/93« A. Problem Einige kleinere Inseln des Ägäischen Meeres leiden aufgrund der schwierigen geographischen Lage, der Abgelegenheit der Region, der geringen Größe und dem ungünstigen Klima unter besonderen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Problemen. B. Lösung Gemäß einem Beschluß des Europäischen Rates 1988 in Rhodos hat die EG-Kommission daher steuerliche und strukturelle Maßnah- men sowie landwirtschaftliche Sondermaßnahmen beschlossen. Der vorliegende Verordnungsvorschlag sieht Beihilfen zur Verbes- serung der Versorgung (Transporthilfen für landwirtschaftliche Produkte und Betriebsmittel) vor sowie Beihilfen zur Unterstützung der örtlichen Produktion, u. a. in den Sektoren Obst und Gemüse, Wein, Oliven, Mastvieh und Käse.

DELFORGE, P. - Contribution to the knowledge of the Orchids of the island of Samos (Eastern Aegean, Greece). After a presentation of the geology, the geomorphology, the human impact over the landscape, and the vegetation of the island of Samos, a review of the past and present studies about Samian orchids is made. It appears that 54 orchids species were known for Samos around the year 1992 (Table 1). The negative repercussions of the recent climatic changes on the eastern Aegean orchid flora and of the big forest fires of 2000 on Samos are evoked. Research in Samos in March, April, and May 2008 has revealed 59 orchid species for the island, bringing their number up to 61 (Table 2). Among the 61 species certainly known for the island of Samos, one is very likely extinct (Cephalan- thera epipactoides), one, not seen in 2008, is represented by only one or few individuals very sporadic (Ophrys lesbis), and one, probably endemic, is nearly extinct (Dactylorhiza pythagorae). Two species, Ophrys basilissa and O. omegaifera are represented by few indi- viduals in flowers in 2008, growing each on one single site, and 9 others are present in only 1-2/406 squares of 1 km × 1 km: Epipactis condensata, E. microphylla, Ophrys cerastes var. minuscula, O. ceto, O. homeri, O. phryganae, O. polycratis, O. villosa (s.
