INTRODUCTION Intermodal Passengers Connectivity between Ports and Airports (INTER-PASS) is a project approved under the INTERREG V-B Adriatic-Ionian Transnational Cooperation Programme 2014-2020. The programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund under the European Territorial Cooperation objective, which provides support to regional cooperation between countries of the Adriatic-Ionian Region during the programming period 2014-2020. The project will be implemented by 8 project partners and one associated partner. The project has started in January 2018 and it is expected to be finished in December 2019. The total budget approved for the project amounts to 1.498.568 EUR, 85% of which is co-financed through the ERDF fund (European Regional Development Fund). Within the Adriatic-Ionian Region there are many maritime cities which have to deal with a very high number of passengers during the peak season and in which cruise tourism is an important factor of regional and local development. However, most of these “homeports” for cruisers & ferries are suffering from a lack of integration within various modes of transport, especially with regional airports. The overall objective of the INTER-PASS project is to enhance the intermodal connections between ports and airports in the Adriatic–Ionian Region in order to improve the processing of passengers, mainly cruise tourists and travellers reaching tourist destinations located on Adriatic and Ionian costs during the peak season. The project will produce 3 specific outputs: 1. Cooperation networks on intermodal and multimodal connectivity between ports and airports located in the Adriatic-Ionian Region. The network will be a place where partners and other stakeholders will exchange knowledge on innovative solutions (techniques, methods, operating codes etc.) that could be easily and successfully adapted in the Adriatic-Ionian context. 2. An action plan for each territory which will define solutions to be tested and implemented in involved cities. The testing of 4 identified solutions to be implemented in Dubrovnik, Pula, Bari and Corfu during the Summer of 2019 with the objective to significantly speed up the tourist processing between ports and airports. 3. Elaboration of a joint Integrated Strategic Plan for multimodal passenger transportation between ports and airports to be shared with other ports, airports, and authorities located in the Adriatic- Ionian Region Within the project, as part of second technical work package, Action plan for implementing pilot action needs to be implemented in every project region (4 action plans). Hereafter is presented Action plan for Dubrovnik region. 1 2. THE TERRITORIAL, ECONOMIC AND LOGISTIC CONTEXT OF THE SITE Territorial aspects This unit offers a description of the main geographical, morphological and climatic data of the Prefecture of Corfu. The demographic features of Corfu and of the Ionian Islands region follows. Geographic, Morphological and Climatic Features of the Prefecture of Corfu The Prefecture of Corfu is located in the central Mediterranean basin and is at the most northern point of the Ionian Sea, at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea. To its east, Corfu is surrounded by the coast of Epirus and south-west Albania, whereas it faces southern Italy to the west. The total area amounts to 638 km2 accounting for 27.3% of the Ionian Islands’ region, and also accounts for 0.5% of the country’s total area. Corfu’s geomorphology is divided into three zones: northern, central and southern. The north part features the highest mountains, which form a natural boundary separating the central and north parts. The highest peak is Pantokratoras. Generally, the largest part of the island is characterized by milder terrain with tree- covered hills that usually end in sandy coasts. Furthermore, in the north part, there is an important fertile lowland area, which has a high fertility index. The central part is plain, but not united nor flat, as it is crossed by a series of hills covered in lush vegetation. The lowlands in the eastern part are highly fertile in contrast to the west part, which would be described as moderately arable and fertile. Most of the southern part of the island is flat with moderately fertile soil. Paxi, consists of a group of small Islands and islets, the largest of which are Paxos and Antipaxos, which are located seven miles south of Corfu. The two islands cover 19 km2 and 3 km2 respectively. They are just eight miles away from the coast of Epirus and 12 miles from Parga. The coasts on the eastern part of Paxos are smooth, while the coasts on the western part are steeper, featuring spectacular natural formations such as caves, arches, domes and vertical cliffs. Gai is the administrative center, Lakka is located on the north side, and picturesque Loggos is on the east side. Paxos has a large olive grove and Antipaxos has a large vineyard. Corfu has a temperate Mediterranean climate of year-round sunshine, relatively high humidity and low-power winds. 2 Demographics According to the results from the latest census of the Hellenic Statistical Authority (EL.STAT) in the Regional Unit of Corfu (RUC), including that of the Municipality of Paxi, 104,371 permanent residents are recorded. Based on this, RUC is slightly below the average among all Regional Unit (RU) of the whole country (Table 1- 1). Table 1.1.

However, during the period 2001- 2011, the population of Corfu fell at a rate far greater than that of the 3 Ionian Islands Region (-6.04% vs. -0.84%), and the country as a whole (-6.04% vs. -1.34%). As a result, since 1981 to 2011, the population of RUC has only increased by 4.92%.

  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • Genetics of the Peloponnesean Populations and the Theory of Extinction of the Medieval Peloponnesean Greeks
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2017) 25, 637–645 Official journal of The European Society of Human Genetics www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Genetics of the peloponnesean populations and the theory of extinction of the medieval peloponnesean Greeks George Stamatoyannopoulos*,1, Aritra Bose2, Athanasios Teodosiadis3, Fotis Tsetsos2, Anna Plantinga4, Nikoletta Psatha5, Nikos Zogas6, Evangelia Yannaki6, Pierre Zalloua7, Kenneth K Kidd8, Brian L Browning4,9, John Stamatoyannopoulos3,10, Peristera Paschou11 and Petros Drineas2 Peloponnese has been one of the cradles of the Classical European civilization and an important contributor to the ancient European history. It has also been the subject of a controversy about the ancestry of its population. In a theory hotly debated by scholars for over 170 years, the German historian Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer proposed that the medieval Peloponneseans were totally extinguished by Slavic and Avar invaders and replaced by Slavic settlers during the 6th century CE. Here we use 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms to investigate the genetic structure of Peloponnesean populations in a sample of 241 individuals originating from all districts of the peninsula and to examine predictions of the theory of replacement of the medieval Peloponneseans by Slavs. We find considerable heterogeneity of Peloponnesean populations exemplified by genetically distinct subpopulations and by gene flow gradients within Peloponnese. By principal component analysis (PCA) and ADMIXTURE analysis the Peloponneseans are clearly distinguishable from the populations of the Slavic homeland and are very similar to Sicilians and Italians. Using a novel method of quantitative analysis of ADMIXTURE output we find that the Slavic ancestry of Peloponnesean subpopulations ranges from 0.2 to 14.4%.

  • The Fourth Season of Danish-Greek Archaeological Fieldwork on the Lower Acropolis of Kalydon in Aitolia Has Now Been Underway for Two Weeks
    The fourth season of Danish-Greek archaeological fieldwork on the Lower Acropolis of Kalydon in Aitolia has now been underway for two weeks. The fieldwork is a collaboration between the Danish Institute at Athens and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Aetolia-Acarnania and Lefkada in Messolonghi and directed by Dr. Søren Handberg, Associate Professor at the University of Oslo and the Ephor Dr. Olympia Vikatou. This year work focuses on the completion of the excavation of the Hellenistic house with a courtyard, which was first identified in 2013. During the past two weeks, the excavations have already produced significant new finds. In one room, where a collapsed roof has preserved the content of the room intact, fifteen small nails have been identified, which presumably originally belonged to a small wooden box kept inside the room. Last Friday, an Ionic column drum was excavated in an area that might be part of the courtyard of the house. A considerable amount of Roman Terra Sigillata pottery of the Augustan period has also been found, which is surprising since the ancient literary sources suggest that the city was abandoned at this time. The ongoing topographical survey of the entire ancient city has revealed approximately thirty previously undocumented structures, one of which might be a larger public building in the eastern part of the city. This year’s team comprises 50 people from Greece, Denmark, and Norway including students of archaeology from Aarhus University, the University of Copenhagen and the University of Oslo. The project is grateful to the Carlsberg Foundation for the continued financial support, which facilitates the fieldwork that is essential for establishing the ancient history of Kalydon and the region of Aitolia.

  • Biological Agriculture in Greece: Constraints and Opportunities for Development
    BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT By Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Paper presented to the Seminar: “The Common Agricultural Policy and the Environmental Challenge – New Tasks for the Public Administrations? European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) Maastricht (NL), 145-15 May 2001 2 DRAFT PAPER (not to be quoted) BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Introduction Organic agriculture or biological agriculture, as it is called in Greece, does not account to more than 0.63% of the national agricultural output. But since the last food crisis (winter 2000) caused by the sudden re-appearance of the "mad-cow disease" in Europe, it has gained a new developmental momentum. The Greek press, although no incident of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy has been recorded so far within the national borders, covered this last food crisis extensively and devoted much space on the risks to human health, which were considered almost innate to the conventional agro-food system, and to the associated consumption and dietary patterns. In this historical conjuncture, biological agriculture entered the public debate through the mass media as the most immediate and radical solution to the industrial system of food production, which had lost its reliability almost entirely. The Ministry of Agriculture was not prepared to deal with such a severe crisis in the meat sector and thus to apply competently the measures against BSE, agreed upon at EU level. Thus it rushed to support that biological agriculture, and more specifically biological stockbreeding, is the only solution that guarantees a safe and healthy way out of the problem.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • The Ghikas House on Hydra: from Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins
    The Ghikas House on Hydra: From Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins HELLE VALBORG GOLDMAN Norwegian Polar Institute We sat on the terrace under the starry sky and talked about poetry, we drank wine, we swam, we rode donkeys, we played chess—it was like life in a novel. (Ghikas, quoted in Arapoglou 56) Introduction The Greek island of Hydra has become known for the colony of expatriate painters and writers that became established there in the 1950s and 60s (Genoni and Dalziell 2018; Goldman 2018). Two ‘literary houses,’ the homes of several of the island’s most well-known foreign residents during that era—the Australian couple, writers George Johnston and Charmian Clift, and Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen—have become places of pilgrimage for aficionados of Australian literature and popular music. Visitors wend through the maze of car- less, stone-paved lanes, asking for directions along the way, in order to stand outside the objects of their quests. Standing in the small public courtyard in front of the Johnstons’ house, or the tight laneway fronting the Cohen house, there is not much to see—the houses are quiet, the doors closed, the stone and white-washed walls surrounding the properties, which are typical of Hydra, are high. This doesn’t keep people from coming. They can picture in their minds’ eyes what is on the other side of the walls, having seen photographs of the writers at work and leisure inside the houses, and having read the books and listened to the songs that were written while the Johnstons and Cohen were in residence.

  • The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

  • Ionian Islands of Western Greece
    IONIAN ISLANDS OF WESTERN GREECE Going into more detail of our proposals for Summer 2018 in Greece, we would like to give you an idea of the many passage possibilities. The countless islands with all their beauty, make Ionian Greece a destination that can offer exciting places to visit without the fear of getting bored. Here are few of our favorite itineraries: 1. CORFU TO CORFU ROUTE A : We sail around Corfu, visiting the stunning coastline of Paleochastrisa, sailing to Paxos and Antipaxos, and then navigate the mainland coast stopping in Parga, Mourtos and other beautiful locations. Returning to Corfu. ROUTE B : It takes us to the north of Corfu to visit the small but beautiful Diapontinie islands of Othoni, Erikoussa and Mathraki. Afterwards we will sail south to Paxos and Antipaxos and then return to Corfu. (Parga may be included as well, time dependent.) ROUTE C : More navigation from Corfu to Lefkas. We move to the west of Lefkas and stop in the lively Fiskardo on Cefalonia. Afterwards we head north-east up the Inland Sea touching Meganisi, Skorpios, the east coast of Lefkas, following the channel returning to Corfu via Paxos. (this is the most classic of routes) 2. CORFU TO ZAKYNTHOS (ZANTE) one way in 1 week (for the round trip allow 2 weeks) - From Corfu, we sail a coastal route, the channel of Lefkada, then descend and touch Meganisi, Fiscardo, Ithaca, west coast of Zakynthos and finish in the south of the island, in the beautiful bay of Laganas, where the turtles nest on the beaches.
