The property is just one kilometre from Psathi, Kimolos’s charming port on the southeastern coast of the island. The beach takes its name from the distinctive elephant-shaped rock nearby.

The Elephant Goupa Beach is the first sirma in the area to be transformed into a holiday residence. Aria Hotels now has eight hotels and villas on Kimolos, one of the most beautiful and hospitable islands in the Aegean, nestling in the southern part of the Cyclades and very close to Milos Island. Access to the island is by sea from Piraeus port, just south- west of Athens, or by air via Milos Island, which has daily connections to Kimolos by ferry, traditional trawler or speedboat taxi. --//-- About Aria Hotels Aria Hotels (www.ariahotels.gr) is a privately-owned boutique hotel and villas company that offers authentic hospitality experiences and the ultimate in simple, effortless charm.

  • The Distribution of Obsidian in the Eastern Mediterranean As Indication of Early Seafaring Practices in the Area a Thesis B
    The Distribution Of Obsidian In The Eastern Mediterranean As Indication Of Early Seafaring Practices In The Area A Thesis By Niki Chartzoulaki Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark MASTER OF ARTS November 2013 1 Στον Γιώργο 2 Acknowledgments This paper represents the official completion of a circle, I hope successfully, definitely constructively. The writing of a Master Thesis turned out that there is not an easy task at all. Right from the beginning with the effort to find the appropriate topic for your thesis until the completion stage and the time of delivery, you got to manage with multiple issues regarding the integrated presentation of your topic while all the time and until the last minute you are constantly wondering if you handled correctly and whether you should have done this or not to do it the other. So, I hope this Master this to fulfill the requirements of the topic as best as possible. I am grateful to my Supervisor Professor, Thijs Maarleveld who directed me and advised me during the writing of this Master Thesis. His help, his support and his invaluable insight throughout the entire process were valuable parameters for the completion of this paper. I would like to thank my Professor from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikolaos Efstratiou who help me to find this topic and for his general help. Also the Professor of University of Crete, Katerina Kopaka, who she willingly provide me with all of her publications –and those that were not yet have been published- regarding her research in the island of Gavdos.

  • A Review of Desalination Potential in Greek Islands Using Renewable Energy Sources, a Life Cycle Assessment of Different Units
    European Journal of Sustainable Development (2017), 6, 2, 19-32 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2017.v6n2p19 A Review of Desalination Potential in Greek Islands Using Renewable Energy Sources, a Life Cycle Assessment of Different Units By Karvounis Panagiotis* Abstract The scarcity of water is a long-standing problem in Greek islands. The government, as a temporary solution adopted the transportation of water using tanker ships. This type of water is of low quality non-potable and in some cases inappropriate for any use. Apart from that water transportation increases the carbon footprint of the islands that it is already stained due to the big thermal power plants that feed the grid using fossil fuels (mainly diesel). Apart from the environmental issues the economic consequences are extremely high. The cost of transported water in Dodecanese and Cyclades reached a total of 73,5 million € from 2002 to 2010. The aim of this paper is to bring forward the proposed solutions for desalination of sea water using renewable energy sources, as Greek islands have a great wind and solar potential that is hard to find in any other place on Europe. A Life Cycle Assessment is been conducted between two different desalination technologies (RES and Diesel operating desalination) to fully understand the impact these units have to the environment. Keywords: Desalination, Renewable energy, Greek islands, carbon footprint, reverse osmosis, LCA 1. Introduction Water scarcity is a timeless problem of Greek islands which lead to huge amounts of low quality and not potable water being transported to them with tanker ships.

  • Contemporary Kinematics of the South Aegean Area (Greece) Detected with Continuous GNSS Measurements
    EGU2020-7656, updated on 03 Oct 2021 https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7656 EGU General Assembly 2020 © Author(s) 2021. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Contemporary Kinematics of the South Aegean Area (Greece) Detected with Continuous GNSS Measurements Vassilis Sakkas, Chrysa Doxa, Andreas Tzanis, and Haralambos Kranis National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Geology and the Geoenvironment, Athens, Greece ([email protected]) We examine the kinematic characteristics of the crustal deformation in the broader southern Aegean region using 47 permanent GNNS stations distributed across the eastern Peloponnesus, Attica, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Crete and the coast of western Anatolia. Our analysis is based on the study of velocity vectors relative to local reference points at the western and eastern halves of the study area, as well as on the strain field calculated from absolute velocity vectors across the study area. We demonstrate that the South Aegean region undergoes complex distributed block deformation. At the eastern end of the study area this varies from N210°-N220° extension and with crustal thinning across NE Peloponnesus – Attica, to N210°-N220° compression between the central- eastern Peloponnesus and western Crete, both consistent with the geodynamic setting of the Hellenic Subduction System. A principal feature of the S. Aegean crust appears to be a broad shear zone extending between the islands of Samos/Ikaria and Kalymnos, Paros/Naxos and Amorgos and Milos – Santorini; It exhibits left-lateral kinematics and its southern boundary appears to coincide with the Amorgos – Santorini ridge and comprise the Anhydros basin and associated volcanic field (including Columbo and Santorini).
