Papadopoulos, Chair This research project examines the appearance and proliferation of some of the earliest cremation burials in Europe in the context of the prehistoric north Aegean. Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period

  • GIS Applications As a Tool for Tourism Planning and Education: a Case Study of Chalkidiki
    CASE STUDY GIS applications as a tool for tourism planning and education: A case study of Chalkidiki Spyros Avdimiotis Thomas Mavrodontis Athanasios S. Dermetzopoulos Konstantinos Riavoglou SUMMARY Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are now recognized widely as a valuable tool for managing, decision making, analyzing, and displaying large volumes of diverse data pertinent to many local and regional planning activities. However, the number of GIS applications for regional tourism planning and education has not mushroomed as in other fields. This is also reflected in the field of sustainable tourism where the adoption of new technologies has been rather slow. Nonetheless, sustainable tourism decision-making and carrying capacity estimation has a lot to benefit from using such technologies. GIS can be used for managing various information needs, estimating indicators and, generally, assisting decision making in the planning phase, as well as in the monitoring and evaluation phases. In the field of tourism education GIS is just starting to become known as a valuable analytical tool by tourism/ hospitality firms and as a tourism economic development tool. However, college graduates with both tourism and GIS skills are virtually non-existent. The case of the Prefecture of Chalkidiki, Greece demonstrates the necessity and the value of such technologies. Key words: sustainable development; tourism education; decision making support; carrying capacity; Greece INTRODUCTION One of the most remarkable technological innovations al and non spatial data from the geographic world for in tourism planning and decision making is Geographic a particular set of purposes that varies for each disci- Information Systems (GIS).

We invite you to join us! more information: www.annahiking.nl (4-4-2020) MKAS210I: Active on Kassandra About AnnaHiking and the Kassandra Guide In 1991 we visited Greece for the first time. Our love for the country, the culture, the climate, the food, the language and the Greek has grown ever since. We feel at home here and want to communicate this feeling to others. Many people are familiar with the Greek “islands with beautiful beaches”. Many islands also boast a splendid inland with historical paths, ideal for hiking and biking. Kassandra on Halkidiki is such an island with much more on offer than beaches alone, and we’d love to introduce it to you. The local association published the website Kassandra Guide. The chairman called upon AnnaHiking to promote the island for its hiking and biking opportunities. As these are plentiful, we gladly obliged! In cooperation with the people from Kassandra Guide we explored several hiking and biking routes and described them in detail. We regularly revise the routes and the description where necessary. As an individual traveller we offer you these descriptions together with GPS-tracks and marked detailed maps, so you can find your way easily. We also offer you an information package with background information, tips for the best meals and several other useful trivia.

    SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF TOURIST SUPPLY AND RELATIONS BETWEEN SUB-REGIONS : A CASE STUDY IN A COASTAL REGION, GREECE Stella Papapavlou-Ioakeimidou , Nikolaos Rodolakis , , Ria Kalfakakou , Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Civil Engineering, Thessaloniki, Greece Division of Transport, Infrastructure, Management and Regional Development [email protected] ABSTRACT At the duration of previous decades has been realised important research with regard to the results and the repercussions of tourism in local level. Even if the tourism is often represented as industry of low impact, the researchers have begun to recognize the tourism as a factor of environmental change. The tourism is considered as the activity that eminently expresses spatial interaction. That means, that the characteristic elements two or more units of space affect each other. The effective spatial management of is an increasing competitive and complicated undertaking, that requires the help of economic, social and geographical elements for the process of planning and development. Taking into consideration the heterogeneous nature of the tourism phenomenon and organisational and functional structures of tourist destinations, especially the coastal areas, it is obvious that it is enough difficult to delimit with precision the tourism sector, as a single total of competences, that they are distinguished easily by the remainder policies of tourist destinations, and to record the spatial changes in the tourism. This work faces an important challenge in the field of tourism and the basic aim of this paper is to present the economic relations between sub-regions in a coastal area in Greece, and spatial concentration of economic activities and examination of communities in the sense of socio-economic characteristics, emphasising in the analysis of the correlation between employment in the tourism sector and other economic activities.

    WELCOME TO HALKIDIKI, THE PLACE OF COLORS AND VARIETY! Halkidiki lies just a few km away from the MAKEDONIA Airport (of Thessaloniki) which is part of the leading European airline- networks. It is a large peninsula (2.900 m2) and combines the characteristic features of the Greek islands and the mainland! Halkidiki is truly unique mostly because of its coastline, forming three smaller peninsulas widely known as "legs" through 500 km of seaside and over 80 beaches out of which 46 are certified by the "blue flag"! There are tiny islands inside its gulfs and the climate - due to the infinite horizontal stretching - is mild, thanks to the beneficial effect of the sea. The element distinguishing it as an all-encompassing tourism destination is that the mostly seashore environment is dominated by a conspicuous and evergreen mountain peak bringing about the proposals of alternative tourism in Halkidiki, namely winter and agritourism. This "disputable" and daring natural landscape blends a particular lifestyle and phenomena in a single region offering all kinds of the current tourism trends for which, in order to grasp, a traveler would need to take several trips to different corners of the world! Summer tourism Summer in Halkidiki is a feast and lasts for 6 whole months. On its shores one can enjoy all kinds of summer tourism: - organized beaches for the crowd-lovers - "untouched" beaches for those seeking adventure - peaceful beaches for family-holidays - uncountable gulfs for romantic people - camping beaches for those traveling by car - stunning fish-havens ideal for angling (fish tourism/angle tourism) It is certainly not by chance that Halkidiki hosts approximately 1.500.000 visitors each summer and there are thousands of people owning a second or a weekend residence and actually live there during the whole summer.

  • Halkidiki Landscape, Archaeology, and Ethnicity
    Halkidiki Landscape, Archaeology, and Ethnicity Elisavet (Bettina) Tsigarida Ephorate of Pella Antiquities Ioannis Xydopoulos Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Landscape archaeology in the Mediterranean has evolved in recent decades, as the data collected during field surveys in plains and mountains has been turned into solid knowledge about the past. Its interdisciplinary character (e.g., the simultaneous use of archaeology and/or historical geography together with geophysics) has contributed significantly to its success. In his comprehensive work on the Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel argued that in order to understand the region’s history one should ‘dissect [it] into various planes’, suggesting that researchers should ‘divide historical time into geographical time, social time, and individual time’.1 He held that concentrating on the deeds of certain individuals, where they kings or generals (l’histoire événementielle) was leading us away from a sound understanding of the Mediterranean world. In order to do so, one must take into account the slow unfolding of geomorphological, climatic, and environmental changes, as well as the history of institutions, economic systems, and ideologies. His work inspired the Annales School but was neglected by archaeolo- gists for a long time. In the 1980s new forms of cultural history appeared, yet it was difficult for anyone to suggest that ‘the study of the Mediterranean should return to pre- Braudelian models’.2 It has been argued that writing history from the artefacts found during excavations is inadequate,3 since archaeologists generally think that in this way the material record becomes equivalent (or quasi-equivalent) to the literary sources available. Ian Morris is right when writing that the “great contribution of archaeology to 1 Fernand Braudel, I Mesogeios kai o mesogeiakos kosmos tin epochi tou Philippou B' tis Ispanias [La Méditer- ranée et le monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II], transl.
