Printed in Croatia ISSN 1331-5609; UDC: 33+65 Urban Dipoles in Greece: Economic Development Opportunities for Larissa-Volos Dipole in Thessaly Region Theodore Metaxas* Abstract: The article attempts to illustrate the significance of the existence of co-operation and in tandem development of an urban dipole, as well as the impact of such a dipole development on each of the two cities and on the greater region they belong. For this reason, the article focuses on a specific case of two medium size cities in Greece, Larissa and Volos, which activate in the same region by taking development actions complementary to one another. The aim of the article is to define the prospects for economic development of this dipole and examine its dynamic in relation to other cities in Greece, by using original data derived by a recent empirical research conducted among foreign firms of the region which have established in the dipole area the last 15 years. Keywords: urban dipoles, economic development, Greece JEL Classification: R11, R12, R13 Introduction Cities are the most dynamic centres of economic transformations in a global level (Harris 1997). The main argument arises through the analysis of the international practice is that regional competitiveness / attractiveness presupposes the economic development and vigorousness of the regions main cities (Cheshire and Gordon 1998; Cuadrado-Roura and Rubalcaba- Bermejo, 1998; Cuadrado-Roura, 2001). This conclusion is harmonized with the basic principles for the competition between cities, as they referred in the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP, 1999). -

Palaeoseis- mological, morphotectonic and geophysical investigations as well as historical and instrumental records show evidences for seismic activity in this area. The investiga- tions documented the occurrence of several moderate to strong earthquakes during Holocene time. These active structures show recurrence intervals of few thousands of years. The historical and instrumental records suggest a period of seismic quiescence during the last 400 to 500 years. The present research, based on an archaeoseismo- logical keynote is a multi disciplinary approach to improve the knowledge on past earthquakes, which occurred in the area. This study focuses on damages on walls of the scene building of the Great Theatre of Larissa. The Theatre was built at the be- ginning of the 3rd century BC and consists of a semicircular auditorium, an almost circular arena and a main scene building. Archaeological and historical investigations document a partial destruction of the theatre during the 2nd-1st century BC. -
HIDDEN TREASURES of GREECE Exploring Landmark Historic Sites & Idyllic Islands
CHAMBER MUSIC JOUR NEYS Beyond the or dinar y HELL AS HIDDEN TREASURES OF GREECE Exploring Landmark Historic Sites & Idyllic Islands Including The Thessaly Skopelos Chamber Music Festival September 29 – October 12, 2020 ronted by the longest coastline of any country in Europe, Greece presents an extraordinary variety of attractions that include magnificent landscapes, idyllic islands and ancient sites and monuments that have Fsurvived through the centuries. While these attractions have made Greece a popular travel destination, there are areas and islands of this fabled land that are incredibly beautiful and important, yet they remain “hidden” and undisturbed by the usual characteristics of mass tourism. We designed this itinerary to include places that are “undiscovered,” places that will fascinate and delight you. Our journey of this unusual discovery will begin in northern Greece, specifically in Thessaloniki, the biblical Thessalonica, also known as Sa- Pelion lonica. Founded in the 4th century BC on the head of a spacious bay, and named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki has remained prosperous, vibrant and cosmopolitan since its founding al- most 2,500 years ago. From here, we will continue to Thessaly in central Greece. One of the country’s most surprising and interesting regions, Thessaly borders Mount Olympus and was the home of “god-like” Achilles, the hero of Homer’s Iliad. It was also the home of Jason, who led the Argonauts in their expedition to fetch the Golden Fleece. The legendary stories of Achilles and Jason reveal a land that has been in- habited since deep antiquity. Among the sites we will explore here are the incredible medieval monasteries of Meteora (“monasteries in mid- air”), and glorious Pelion and its old traditional villages. -

Evolution of Turnover of Enterprises in Accommodation and Food Service Activities
HELLENIC REPUBLIC HELLENIC STATISTICAL AUTHORITY Piraeus, 22 September 2020 PRESS RELEASE EVOLUTION OF TURNOVER OF ENTERPRISES IN ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICE ACTIVITIES JULY 2020 The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) with this ad hoc sectoral publication, presents the map with the evolution of the turnover of enterprises classified in the Accommodation and Food and Beverage Service Activities divisions. These economic activities have been over time in the focus of interest due to the significant weight they bear on the Greek economy as a whole, but also due to their extensive dispersion, with a significant presence in all regional units and a significant contribution to the respective local economies of Greece, often associated with the tourist product of the country. At the same time, under the recent circumstances, the monitoring and dedicated publication of the evolution of these economic activities has become imperative, given the direct and indirect adverse impact they have been subjected to, due to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current publication is part of the ad hoc Press Releases series published by ELSTAT (PR link), since April 2020. Similar publications have been planned to be released on a monthly basis, throughout the whole period during which the regular monitoring of the evolution of the turnover of enterprises providing Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities will remain relevant and warranted. In particular, the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) announces data on a monthly and quarterly basis and at the regional unit country-level of analysis, for the turnover of enterprises classified in the divisions Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities (divisions 55 and 56 of the NACE Rev.2 classification) for the period 2019-2020. -

ISSN: 0032-3780 Online ISSN: 2299-9884 Polish Journal of Entomology 87 (3): 217–248 (2018) DOI: 10.2478/pjen-2018-0016 Ants from Thessaly, Greece (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) * LECH BOROWIEC , SEBASTIAN SALATA Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, University of Wrocław, Przybyszewskiego 65, 51-148 Wrocław, Poland ABSTRACT. A complete list of 107 ant species (including morphospecies not attributed to any known taxon) recorded from Thessaly, Greece, is presented. New records from 40 sampling localities explored during two field trips in 2012 and 2017, and also from literature data are included. Temnothorax sordidulus (MÜLLER, 1923) and Temnothorax tauricus (RUZSKY, 1902) are new to Greece; 38 species were recorded from Thessaly for the first time. KEY WORDS: ants, faunistics, Greece, Thessaly, new national records, new regional records. INTRODUCTION The ant fauna of Greece has been intensively studied in recent years. The checklist of Greek ants published by LEGAKIS (2011) can be regarded as the inspiration for further, more detailed studies. Despite a number of errors, this checklist has become the basis for further regional surveys. Other recent papers, including checklists for several Greek regions and taxonomic revisions, have enabled gaps in the knowledge of this country’s ant biodiversity to be filled (BOER 2013, BOROWIEC & SALATA 2012, 2013, 2014a, 2014b, 2017a, 2017b, 2018, BRAČKO et al. 2016, CSŐSZ et al. 2015, SALATA & BOROWIEC 2015a, 2015b, 2015c, 2016, 2017). These papers record at least 280 species from Greece
