A Cruise Around the Peloponnese in the Footsteps of Odysseus A Cruise around the Peloponnese In the Footsteps of Odysseus Anthony Fawcett In late April Colin Maclean, Digger Harris, two of my co-owners, and I arrived in Gouvia Marina, Corfu. Digger has sailed with me on numerous occasions including two voyages back from the Azores. Our role was to commission Moonlight Lady, a Sun Odyssey 49, and sail her to Kalamata on the Peloponnese, where my crew would leave me and I would sail on with another crew to Piraeus. This early season cruise has become something of a tradition for the three of us. We sailed to Mourtos, which was something of a pilgrimage at it was the Gouvia GREECE Corfu Mourtos Lakka N.

We had intended the next day to sail to Gaios on Paxos, but the wind was dead on the nose. We were barely making 3kts banging into a short steep sea. We bore away, let the genoa draw and headed off to Lákka at the north end of Paxos. We arrived in Lákka and anchored in the pool off the harbour wall. The wind kept on blowing until the evening when it began to moderate. The wind was due to veer from the south east to the west around midday. We set off hugging the coast of Paxos to keep in its lee. At the southern end of Paxos with the wind now in the southwest, we rolled out the genoa and sailed down to the entrance to the Lefkas Canal. The bridge, which is a registered vessel, opened on time and we were off down the canal to Lefkas. We had spent much of last summer sailing out of Lefkas, so it seemed only sensible to move there. We had also found that the yachting infrastructure in Lefkas was very good. Somewhat incongruously there is a Cuban Bar in Lefkas. The patron plays the guitar really beautifully and his wife, dressed to the nines in Cuban gear, serves 10- year-old rum: not a bad way to go. Moonlight Lady After some repairs to our electronics, we were able to get underway and head south to Sivota, a delightful, sheltered bay on the south coast of Lefkada. This has become a favourite stop for us. We motored out of Sivota past some stunning modern houses and headed south down the Ithaka Channel in a light northerly wind. The wind picked up at the southern end of Kefalonia so we rolled out the genoa and started sailing. We had planned to go into Áy Nikólaos, on Zakynthos, but with the sea left over from the strong winds of the previous week, it was not much fun. We took the soft option and bore away for Zakynthos town. Zakynthos was destroyed in the 1953 earthquake that also destroyed Lefkas. Like Lefkas, Zakynthos was a Venetian city; the buildings have been rebuilt with colonnades rather than, as in Lefkas, in reinforced concrete and corrugated iron. We liked Zakynthos. It had a prosperous and well-cared-for air about it. It was a beautiful day with a SSW breeze to give us a close reach over to Katákolon on the Peloponnese. What better day to christen our new mainsail. We set full sail at the entrance buoy and sailed all the way to Katakolon. There were no yachts to be seen, only a coastal tanker heading for Constanza. Katákolon is a delightful, if 121 Anthony Fawcett slightly odd place. It has town quay and capacious harbour. It is also the port for Olympia, so it attracts cruise liners, quite often two at a time. The town comes to life when the cruise liners are in, but it falls asleep again when they leave. Conveniently, there is a diesel rail car that runs from Katakolon to Olympia, which I have never managed to catch, either because it was a national holiday or because it was too early in the season. I can assure you that it does run, as I have seen it running. We hired a car and drove up to Olympia. I had been there twice before, but every time I visit the Digger and Colin in the gymnasium, Olympia site I marvel at its sheer scale and the skill, both architectural and engineering, that went into building the complex. Any city, whose athlete had been caught cheating, had to erect a statue to Zeus, with the plinth inscribed with the details their misdemeanour. President Putin would surely have been very busy erecting statues to Zeus. The sad story is that the Emperor Constantine, having embraced Christianity, decided that the temples to the Roman Gods had to be demolished and the games stopped. An earthquake, or was it a tsunami, in 551AD did the rest. In the museum there are sculptures of various Roman Emperors and a sculpture of Theodora, wife of Constantine, which seems rather inappropriate. My favourite sculpture is the Hermes of Praxiteles. We set off for Pylos in a light wind. By midday the wind had filled in from the WNW. We set full main and genoa and headed south. We passed inside Nisos Próti, where there is a handsome-looking monastery. We found that we were running in company with two other yachts heading for Pylos. Reckoning that there Hermes of Praxiteles might not be much room in Pylos marina, we decided to take the short cut inside Nisos Pylos, with its natural arch, into Navarino Bay. Colin, who is a geologist, was in his element. We gained pole position and snagged the last berth in the marina. Pylos was taken over by the Turks as a base during the Panhellenic Wars. In 1825 Ibrahim Pasha brought an army to the Peloponnese with the aim of laying it waste. The Treaty of London, signed in 1827, provided that Greece should be autonomous, 122 A Cruise around the Peloponnese but under the control of Turkey. This allowed the Western Powers to remain friendly with both Greece and Turkey, while allowing the fleets of the Western Powers to guarantee the treaty. Meanwhile an Ottoman fleet of 100 ships had sailed to Pylos to support Ibrahim Pasha. Russia, France and Great Britain sent out fleets under the commands, respectively, of Count Helden, Count de Rigny and Admiral Codrington, to whom the other admirals deferred. Despite the allied fleets the Ottomans continued to harass the Greek population. On 20 Nisos Pilos and natural arch October 1827 Admiral Codrington lost patience and sailed into Navarino Bay with his 26 ships and 1,270 guns against the Ottoman fleet of 89 warships and 2,450 guns, anchored in a semicircle guarding the entrance. An Egyptian ship opened fire. The battle, fought at anchor, continued for four hours of ‘unabated fury’. Admiral Codrington’s fleet prevailed. French troops landed in Methoni and mopped up the remaining Ottoman opposition in the Peloponnese, finally putting an end to the Panhellenic War. The French rebuilt Pylos with an attractive triangular ‘square’ overlooking the harbour and a marble monument, with medallions of the heads of the three admirals, one on each face, in the centre of the square. We motored out in a flat calm to Methoni, which boasts an enormous castle. We discovered that the only way into the castle was from the new town. The Venetians, had fortified the town along with Koroni further up the coast to Bourtzi Tower, with eastern ramparts, Methoni the north-east. These two towns were called ‘the eyes of Venice’ and protected the trading routes to the east. In 1500 the Ottomans with a force of 100,000 besieged Methoni. The Venetians could only muster 7,000 men. The Venetians held out for a month, then on 9 August four Venetian ships managed to evade the Turkish fleet and bring in much needed supplies and reinforcements. So happy were the defenders that they omitted to man the town’s defences, allowing the Ottomans to storm the castle. The defenders made a last stand in the Bourtzi tower at the 123 Anthony Fawcett southern end of the castle, but they were slaughtered to a man. The castle covers a large area, about 700m long by 200m wide. You follow a rough path along the western defensive wall all the way to the Bourtzi Tower. The Boutzi Tower is a beautiful sight, though it could not be considered to be a strong defensive position, more an elaborate watch tower. After the Battle of Navarino, the French peace-keeping force demolished the old town of Methoni within the walls and built a new town to the north of the castle. The French also built the handsome 14-arched, stone bridge from the new town to the castle. The new town of Methoni is an attractive place with a happy atmosphere. We headed south to Port Longos on Nisos Sapienza, where we anchored for the night. Nisos Sapienza is a nature reserve controlled by the Forestry Department. In the morning, we motored round Nisos Skhìza down past Ak Akritas and up to Kalamata. After lunch, Digger announced that he wanted a café coretto, which in Italian means a coffee with some grappa. In the absence of grappa Three Star Metaxa had to suffice. We berthed in Kalamata marina.

    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

Temporal shifts in floristic and avian diversity in Mediterranean pine forest ecosystems under different fire pressure: The island of Zakynthos as a case study. Ann. For. Res. 61(1): 19-36. Abstract. We evaluated how fire impacts the ecological coherence of Aleppo pine forests and their biodiversity over a 40-year period. The study area forms part of an insular ecosystem of Zakynthos Island (Zante) in western Greece, which forms part of the Ionian Islands. Post-fire effects were stud- ied for both plant and bird diversity at 20 sampling plots, using stratified random sampling, during the summer of 2012. The plots were selected based on the frequency of burning since the 1970s. Sites were categorized as: 1) no burning for >40 years, 2) burnt once in the 1970s, 3) burnt twice, first in the 1970s and again in 2000–2010, 4) burnt three times, first in the 1970s, and twice more in 2000–2010, and 5) burnt four times, first in the1970s, twice more in 2000–2010, and again in 2011. A total of 79 plant species and 26 bird species were recorded at the studied sites. One-way ANOVA analysis showed that fire intensity has a significant impact on alpha floristic diversity.

  • Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller
    Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller The era of Ottoman Rule, which began in the fourteenth century, is among the most controversial chapters of South-East European history. Over several stages of conquest, some of them several decades long, large parts of South-Eastern Europe were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire, or brought under its dominion. While the Ottomans had to surrender the territories north of the Danube and the Sava after the Peace Treaty of 1699, the decline of Ot- toman domination began only in the nineteenth century. Structures of imperial power which had been implemented in varying forms and intensity in different regions were replaced by emerging nation states in the nineteenth century. The development of national identities which accompanied this transformation was greatly determined by the new states distancing themselves from Ottoman rule, and consequently the image of "Turkish rule" has been a mainly negative one until the present. However, latest historical research has shown an increasingly differentiated image of this era of South-East European history. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Military and Political Developments 2.

  • The Ionian Islands and the Advent of the Greek State (1827-1833)
    W. DA VID W RIG LEY THE IONIAN ISLANDS AND THE ADVENT OF THE GREEK STATE (1827-1833) The diplomatic reactions of the British to the traditional crises of the Near East, such as the various Ottoman wars and Balkan insurrections, were often based upon the experiences of three centuries of Near Eastern trade. As long as Anglo-Ottoman trade remained unaffected, the British were not con­ cerned with any modifications in the status quo of the Near East. Therefore, with the initiation of the Greek Revolution in 1821, the traditional diplomat­ ic attitudes of the British prevailed. Unfortunately, the circumstances of Britain’s presence in the Near East had changed radically over the past three centuries. Since the acquisition of the Ionian Islands in 1815, the British were actually stationed as a naval power in the Near East. In light of Britain’s pres­ ence in the Ionian Islands and the successful results of the Greek Revolu­ tion, such traditional attitudes were difficult to maintain. In fact, since Britain was directly responsible for the emergence of the modern Greek state, such attitudes were completely hypocritical. With this situation, the British were forced to adopt new attitudes in their Near Eastern diplomacy. These new diplomatic attitudes were not just simply a matter of Anglo-Ionian-Hellenic relations. Instead, the element of early Russophobia complicated Britain’s diplomatic policies in the Near East. As a result, the British became rather suspicious of the political and diplomatic policies of the new Greek state. Thus, the British safe-guarded their position in the Ionian Islands against all external threats1.

And this makes it of the first importance that the facts from which that usage and practice are to be deduced should be correctly appre- ciated, and in particular that the great treaties which have regulated the status and territorial rights of nations should be studied from the point of view of history and international law. It is the object of this book to present materials for that study in an accessible form. The scope of the book is limited, and wisely limited, to treaties between the nations of Europe, and to treaties between those nations from 1815 onwards. To include all treaties affecting all nations would require volumes nor is it for the many ; necessary, purpose of obtaining a sufficient insight into the history and usage of European States on such matters as those to which these treaties relate, to go further back than the settlement which resulted from the Napoleonic wars.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.
