ZooKeys 565: 1–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.565.6877 Abstract In the last decades, several expeditions were organized in Europe by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum to collect snails, aquatic insects and soil animals (mites, springtails, nematodes, and earthworms). In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries.

  • ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS “Archaeological Tourism in Greece
    UNIVERSITY OF THE PELOPONNESE ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS (R.N. 1012201502004) DIPLOMA THESIS: “Archaeological tourism in Greece: an analysis of quantitative data, determining factors and prospects” SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara EXAMINATION COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikolaos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara - Dr. Nikolaos Platis ΚΑΛΑΜΑΤΑ, MARCH 2017 Abstract . For many decades now, Greece has invested a lot in tourism which can undoubtedly be considered the country’s most valuable asset and “heavy industry”. The country is gifted with a rich and diverse history, represented by a variety of cultural heritage sites which create an ideal setting for this particular type of tourism. Moreover, the variations in Greece’s landscape, cultural tradition and agricultural activity favor the development and promotion of most types of alternative types of tourism, such as agro-tourism, religious, sports and medicinal tourism. However, according to quantitative data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority, despite the large number of visitors recorded in state-run cultural heritage sites every year, the distribution pattern of visitors presents large variations per prefecture. A careful examination of this data shows that tourist flows tend to concentrate in certain prefectures, while others enjoy little to no visitor preference. The main factors behind this phenomenon include the number and importance of cultural heritage sites and the state of local and national infrastructure, which determines the accessibility of sites. An effective analysis of these deficiencies is vital in order to determine solutions in order to encourage the flow of visitors to the more “neglected” areas. The present thesis attempts an in-depth analysis of cultural tourism in Greece and the factors affecting it.

In addition, published elephant remains from Ambelia, Petres and Perdikas, also from Northern Greece, are reinterpreted and also attributed to E. antiquus.

  • From Geoheritage to Geoeducation, Geoethics and Geotourism: a Critical Evaluation of the Greek Region
    geosciences Review From Geoheritage to Geoeducation, Geoethics and Geotourism: A Critical Evaluation of the Greek Region George Zafeiropoulos 1,*, Hara Drinia 1,* , Assimina Antonarakou 1 and Nikolaos Zouros 2 1 Department of Geology and Geoenvironment, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, University of Aegean, 81100 Mytilini, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (G.Z.); [email protected] (H.D.) Abstract: The purpose of this review is, initially, to emphasize the importance of geoenvironmental education for the promotion and preservation of geological heritage and geoethical values, and based on these, to present the current situation in Greece. Geoeducation is a broader component of environmental education which aims to promote the geological heritage of a place and its geocon- servation. It is a key integral tool for tackling environmental issues and therefore further assisting in sustainable development. Greece is known for its exceptional and rare natural beauty, as well as for the abundance of natural resources and its remarkable geological features. For this reason, six global geoparks have already been established in this country. However, its nature protection is mainly considered as the protection of biodiversity, while the term “geodiversity” is almost absent in Greek law. The importance of establishing a legal framework for the protection of geotopes is underlined by the fact that their promotion and rational management create opportunities for sustainable development, as well as to become quality tourist destinations (geotourism) through Citation: Zafeiropoulos, G.; Drinia, nature protection and education. Geodiversity can gain public attention and have a positive impact H.; Antonarakou, A.; Zouros, N.

Olympus-Zagoria Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour Details, Itinerary, What’s included, Itinerary Changes, Terrain, Condition Grading, Accommodation, Starting point and getting there, Food, Weather, Gear checklist, Currency & Banking, Passports, Visas Believe it or not Greece is primarily a mountainous country with more than 800 larger or smaller mountains, 53 of them with altitude exceeding the 2000m zone. The mountains, which served as natural barriers and boundaries, dictated the character of the country and have always played an important role in the life of Greeks, who incorporated them in their myths and legends as sacred places full of spiritual energy. They become "peaks of identity”, tangible and towering symbolic landscapes representing a distinctive set of community and cultural ideals. Our trip starts in Athens and the next day we drive to Litochoro, the village at the base of Mt Olympus. On the list of iconic mountains of the world, Mount Olympus surely has a place. Not only is it a geographically impressive peak, rising straight from the Aegean Sea to a height of 2,918 m, but it’s also one of great mythological importance. We will spend three days hiking in the mountain wilderness with a benefit of a bed, hot food and good company. Next, we head towards Zagoria one of the most intriguing regions of Northern Greece, and on the way we will visit Vergina, the royal burial site and the first capital of the Macedonian dynasty. From there we drive to Monodendri, and for the next three days we will hike the trails that connect the bucolic villages of Zagoria.

The focal species of this study, Cardamine barbaraeoides, is a narrow Greek endemic that has been confused taxonomically since its original description. Based on a detailed multivariate morphometric study, we provide here a set of morphological characters that enables the reliable identification of this species. In addition, we present an identification key to C. barbaraeoides and related taxa. We have revised herbarium specimens and literature data on the occurrence of this species in Greece and ascertained that it occurs only in the Pindos mountains (the Southern Pindos and partly the Northern Pindos floristic regions).

Within its borders there are four inland lakes hydraulically connected to each other. The area is historically characterized by intense industrial and agricultural activities. The objectives of this paper are the following: a) to study and report the modifications occurred to the Vegoritida’s Lake water level and the catchment’s area size due to human activities during the last sixty years (1955- 2016) and b) to review the existing scientific literature concerning the water balance of the lake and its water pollution. To this purpose, the software packages ArcGIS and Surfer were used. The results revealed that due to the completion of hydraulic projects construction that took place in the area, the catchment area was increased by 537% in comparison to 1955. Moreover, the lowest estimations for the absolute altitude, area size covered and water volumes of the lake correspond to the year 2002. However, since 2002 an increase in these parameters has occurred. Systematic information exchange and cooperation between farmers, water agencies, Public Power Corporation (PPC) and research institutes is proposed for the optimal utilization of the water resources of the area.
