The exposed sedimentary succession of the three islands consists of up to 74m thick submarine fans, interpreted as inner fan deposits. The determination of the sediment ages is based on the study of calcareous nannofossils, which came from almost 63 samples covering geological cross sections across the coast line of the three islands. The recorded nannofossil associations are assigned to the biozones of Martini’s (1971) standard scheme. According to the age determination clastic sedimentation in the studied area started dur- ing the Late Oligocene and finished during the Early Miocene time. Moreover, the age determina- tion and in accordance with the previous results, indicate that also the Ionian thrust activity started during Late Oligocene. Key words: Diapondia islands, Erikoussa, Othonoi, Mathraki, calcareous nannofossils, turbidites, external Ionian zone, Ionian thrust. 1. Introduction The Ionian zone has been studied in detail during the last century and is subdivided by internal thrusting into three sub-basins (internal, middle and external) (Aubouin, 1959; I.G.S.R.

  • ITHACA Vathi
    ITHACA Ithaca Island is famous through mythology for it is the mythical land of the famous Odysseus (Ulysses). It is part of the seven islands forming the group called Ionian Islands. It is a beautiful, verdant island full of traditional and picturesque villages and amazing beaches with crystalline waters. The authenticity, wildness and unspoiled beauty of the area are charming every one who visits it. In Vathi, you can view quaint red-roofed houses Neorio that set among beautiful scenery at the end of the deep closed Molos bay. The Cave of Nymphs is located just slightly northwest of Vathi. This is where, according to myth, Odysseus hid gifts that were bestowed upon him by the Phaeacians, who sent him to Ithaca ten years after the Trojan War had ended. The Monastery of the Archangels is also very well worth a visit, located at Perahori. The bay of Polis holds a cave in which inscriptions were carved that testified to the worship of Artemis, Hera, and Athena. There were also twelve tripods found here that were very similar to the ones that the Phaeacians supposedly had given to Odysseus. In Pelikata, excavations on the hillside have revealed a small Bronze Age settlement. The finding of this settlement have helped to reinforce the notion that ancient Ithaca lies somewhere close to this point. For a look at villages who have been virtually unspoiled from modernism, Kioni and Frikes are wonderful stopping places. Ithaki is Vathi also filled with many wonderful beaches for Nikos O.
