    THE GULF OF SOUDA DURING THE CENTURIES HELLENIC MINISTRY OF CULTURE 28TH EPHORATE OF BYZANTINE ANTIQUITIES MUNICIPALITY OF SOUDA THE GULF OF SOUDA DURING THE CENTURIES HANIA MAY 2007 THE GULF OF SOUDA DURING THE CENTURIES he gulf of Souda, at the northern shores of the nowdays Chania region, is formed by the mainland of Crete and the peninsula Melecha or Akrotiri. Its geomorphology and orientation, in conjunction with its size and adequate depth, create a safe harbor throughout the year. Its geo- Tgraphical location at the centre of the Eastern Mediterranean, on the trace of ancient sea-roads, acquires unique strategic importance, thus stimulating the vivid 2 interest from antiquity to the present day. In the gulf of Souda throughout time there have been developed com- plex defensive systems, verifying the continuous interest in the area by the relevant occupants. he gulf of Souda is elongated in shape with maxi- mum length 8km and width 2.600m at the T entrance, which decreases to 1500m due to the existence of two rock-islands at its northern side. To its shallow, sandy cove ends the Moronis torrent and at its sides small bays are shaped, suitable for anchoring, such as of Ag. Marina, Limionari tis Grias to the south, Aspalatheas and Limni to the north, while outside the gulf are the Loutraki and Marathi bays, as well as a small rock- island named Palia Souda or Marathi. At both sides of the gulf the land is semi-mountainous. To the south, at the region of Apokoronas and at the eastern side of the gulf, the large sandy beach of Kalyves with three small rivers is shaped, continuing the fertile mainland.

  • 2002 Discovering the West of Crete After We Discovered the North-East
    2002 Discovering the west of Crete After we discovered the north-east and south-east of Crete in 2000 and 2001, This year we wanted to explore the west of the island. Slowly we got infected with the Crete virus. We only bought the airline tickets and we would see where we ended up. Only our first address was booked: Paleochora: I reserved a studio here for the first days. Chania airport We took off from Schiphol on May 22 and 3,5 hours later we landed on the military airfield at Chania in the northwest of Crete. After our experiences at the airport in Heraklion this was quite a relief: as soon as the plane stopped, a large bus arrives, everyone get out of the plane on to the bus and 5 minutes later you are in the baggage hall with 2 (!) baggage carrousel. They had a hard time with it today, because up to 2 times there was a power cut. Already after 20 minutes we had our backpacks and in a taxi we were on our way to Chania. 15 minutes later we got off at the bus station in the centre of the city. That went so smooth! The bus to Paleochora arrived right on time. Our backpacks were placed in the luggage compartment at the bottom of the bus. Together with all other luggage, newspapers and magazines intended for shops in the south. The buses on Crete also serve as a transport bus. Paleochora The bus left punctually at 2.30 pm and we drove along the north coast to Tavronitis and there we turned south.

Abducting a General By Patrick Leigh Fermor ! The sierras of occupied Crete, familiar from nearly two years of clandestine sojourn and hundreds of exacting marches, looked quite different through the aperture in the converted bomber's floor and the gaps in the clouds below: a chaos of snow- covered, aloof and enormous spikes glittering as white as a flakier in the February moonlight. There, suddenly, on a tiny plateau among the peaks, were the three signal fires twinkling. A few moments later they began expanding fast: freed at last from the noise inside the Liberator the parachute sailed gently down towards the heart of the triangle. Small figures were running in the firelight and in another few moments, snow muffled the impact of landing. There was a scrum of whiskery embracing, a score of Cretan voices, one English one. A perfect landing! The Katharo1 plateau was too small for all four of the passengers to drop in a stick: each jump needed a fresh run-in. So, once safely down I was to signal the all clear with a torch. But the gap I had dripped through closed; our luck, for the moment, had run out. We took turns to signal towards the returning boom of the intermittently visible plane just the other side of the rushing clouds until the noise died away and we knew the plane had turned back to Brindisi.

Soulis 1 , Despoina-Simoni Alexiou 1 and Ioannis Charalampopoulos 2 1 Department of Natural Resources Management and Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural University of Athens, 75 Iera Odos st., 11855 Athens, Greece; [email protected] (A.P.); [email protected] (K.X.S.); [email protected] (D.-S.A.) 2 Department of Crop Science, Agricultural University of Athens, 75 Iera Odos st., 11855 Athens, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-210-529-4156 Received: 27 March 2020; Accepted: 27 April 2020; Published: 28 April 2020 Abstract: The western part of Crete Island has undergone serious landslide events in the past. The intense rainfalls that took place in the September 2018 to February 2019 period provoked extensive landslide events at the northern part of Chania prefecture, along the motorway A90. Geospatial analysis methods and earth observation data were utilized to investigate the impact of the various physical and anthropogenic factors on landslides and to evaluate landslide susceptibility. The landslide inventory map was created based on literature, aerial photo analysis, satellite images, and field surveys. A very high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and land cover map was produced from a dense point cloud and Earth Observation data (Landsat 8), accordingly. Sentinel-2 data were used for the detection of the recent landslide events and offered suitable information for two of them. Eight triggering factors were selected and manipulated in a GIS-based environment. A semi-quantitative method of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) was applied to evaluate the landslide susceptibility index (LSI) both for Chania prefecture and the motorway A90 in Chania.
