BeyondAthens ~ Olympou 5, 19010 Lagonisi, Attica-GREECE Tel.: +30 22910 22953; +30 697 9760560 ~ E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] www.beyondathens.net Day 1 2 Your ATHENS – The Landmarks will start with our van picking you up at the El. Venizelos airport and taking you to your hotel. One of our guides will welcome you aboard and provide you with general info about the next days’ itinerary and activities and hand you informative material on the area that you will explore. After a treat with Greek specialties and a short rest, you will head to a tranquil suburb on the Athens coast. There, hidden in the pines, stands a natural site of incredible charm. In Vouliagmenis Lake you will enjoy a brief visit and description of the place and swim in the thermal lukewarm waters of the lake from a specially dedicated prive area. Your already seduced senses will be further relaxed with a mild yoga practice on the greenery by the lake. Finally, an aperitif will be offered, as well as a light dinner with Greek typical specialties. Our guide and driver will then take you back to your hotel, as your first day will end. Day 2 Day 2 of will be devoted to the intriguing cradle of the Greek Ancient Civilisation, Athens. Our van with a BeyondAthens guide will collect you and drive you to Athens downtown. Your day tour will then begin from the city historic center. With the invaluable help of an insider you will meander through the fascinating colourful old town of Plaka, rich in architecture, archaeological sites and local shops. Of course you cannot miss a visit to the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Next, your group will decide whether to continue visiting the Agora, Ancient theatres and other sites, go to the Acropolis museum or simply rest in a café. After a light lunch with typical Greek delights you will have the chance to decide whether to head South to one of the amazing beaches at close range, if hot weather, or spend the afternoon in Athens. In this last case, again you may want to take one of our suggested short themed tour/walk of your choice with a specialized local insider guide. Indicatively, you will be able to choose one among “Flavours of Athens”, “Walking Meze” or “Photo Safari”. Alternatively, we can take you on a segway short tour across other parts of the city’s historic center.

Late in the evening, our van will drive you back to the hotel, where you will have some rest and have dinner either at the hotel’s restaurant or in some other place that we will happily suggest. Day 3 The third day of your stay will be planned according to your choice. That is, in the morning you will be able to decide whether to continue exploring some highlights and hidden treasures of Athens, including astonishing Museums and other historic sites or just rest in the hotel or its surroundings and maybe have a walk. Similarly, where to take lunch is up to you to decide. Then in the afternoon you may choose among two options. One is to visit a winery in the rural inland handpicked by us and participate in a winetasting, where you will hear about and taste typical local varieties dating back to Ancient Greece such as white Savatiano and be treated small snacks consisting of local cheese, bread rusks and olives. Another is to take part in a Mediterranean healthy food workshop, where you will hear about typical Greek products and ingredients, their properties and learn how to mix and cook them. And finally taste what you will have prepared! You will then head to Sounio for a guided visit to the Temple of Poseidon (5th century BC) . A mythological invented story, photo or sketch contest will be organized, with a surprise award for the winner. The Sounio tour will end, weather permitting, with a refreshing swim at a local beach. Either in the morning or afternoon of day 3 the group can opt for a reinvigorating and relaxing swim, weather permitting.

Our transfer to El. Venizelos International Airport will mark the end of this amazing 4-day stay in which you will have explored the beauties of Athens and its surroundings, discovered hidden spots with the guide of an insider and experienced true Greekness.

  • Barcoding of Cryptic Stages of Marine Brown Algae Isolated from Incubated Substratum Reveals High Diversity in Acinetosporaceae (Ectocarpales, Phaeophyceae)1
    Cryptogamie, Algologie, 2015, 36 (1): 3-29 © 2015 Adac. Tous droits réservés Barcoding of cryptic stages of marine brown algae isolated from incubated substratum reveals high diversity in Acinetosporaceae (Ectocarpales, Phaeophyceae)1 Akira F.

A total of 431 clones were subsequently identified by barcoding using 5’-COI. A proportion of 98% of the isolates belonged to the Ectocarpales. The distribution of pairwise genetic distances revealed a K2P divergence of 1.8% as species-level cut-off. Using this threshold, the samples were ascribed to 83 different species, 39 (47%) of which were identified through reference sequences or morphology. In the Ectocarpaceae, 16 lineages of Ectocarpus fulfilled the barcode criterion for different species, while three putative new species were detected. In the Chordariaceae, numerous microthalli were microstages of known macroscopic taxa. A separate cluster contained Hecatonema maculans and other microscopic species. Taxa traditionally classified in Acinetosporaceae were split in two species-rich groups containing Pylaiella and Hincksia in one and Acinetospora in the other.

Engaging citizen scientists to survey local biota and detect non-native marine species incursions is expected to result in the collection of significant data sets, which could potentially be used for an early-warning system inter alia. Our results suggest that such citizen support is beginning to develop in Greece, for invasive species such as the pufferfish Lagocephalus sceleratus; local newspapers often run a frontpage headline on the subject. Approximately 86 observations of 28 alien species (validated by taxonomic experts) were reported in 2012. Special mention is given to the following species, which until now had a very restricted distribution: Atherinomorus forskalii, Callionymus filamentosus, Smaragdia souverbiana and Cylichnina girardi. Concerned and informed citizens can participate personally in identifying incipient invaders and preventing them from spreading. Résumé: Importance des scientifiques amateurs dans le suivi des espèces marines introduites en Grèce. Les problématiques environnementales sont mieux appréhendées grâce à la participation des citoyens concernés. Impliquer des scientifiques amateurs pour surveiller les milieux locaux et détecter l’arrivée d’espèces marines non natives permet l’acquisition d’importants jeux de données qui peuvent être potentiellement utilisées dans un dispositif d’alerte précoce.
