Number of nights with T >20 oC Another parameter very important for the urban areas is the change in the number of warm nights per year. We de- fine these as nights where night-time temperature is above 20 oC and characterise them ‘tropical nights’. In addition, this parameter is closely associated with population health, since a ‘tropical’ night following a ‘heatwave’ day can lead to increased levels of population heat stress and discomfort. Figure 3 displays changes in this parameter for the selected urban sites in Greece. It becomes clear from this figure that tropical nights increase almost everywhere and it is inter- esting to note that coastal urban sites are more affected than continental cities. According to the findings of this figure, all selected urban sites except Ioannina will experience about an extra month per year of warm nights. In Ioannina, the increase will be less than 20 days, possibly due to the cooling effects of the breezes from the nearby Pindos mountains.

  • Visualizing the Byzantine City the Art of Memory
    Abstracts Visualizing the Byzantine City Charalambos Bakirtzis Depictions of cities: in the icon “Allegory of Jerusalem on High,” two cities are depicted, one in the foothills and the other at the edge of a rocky mountain. The lengthy inscription of the icon is of interest from a town-planning and architectural standpoint. The imperial Christian city: in the mosaics of the Rotunda in Thessalonike, the city is not shown with walls, but with palaces and other splendid public buildings, declaring the emperor’s authority as the sole ruler and guarantor of the unity of the state and the well-being of cities, which was replaced by the authority of Christ. The appearance of the walled city: all the events shown in the mosaics (seventh century) of the basilica of St. Demetrios are taking place outside the walls of the city, probably beside the roads that lead to it. The city’s chora not only protected the city; it was also protected by it. A description of the city/kastron: John Kameniates lived through the capture of Thessalonike by the Arabs in the summer of 904. At the beginning of the narrative, he prefixes a lengthy description/encomium of Thessalonike. The means of approaching the place indicate that the way the city is described by Kameniates suits a visual description. Visualizing the Late Byzantine city: A. In an icon St. Demetrios is shown astride a horse. In the background, Thessalonike is depicted from above. A fitting comment on this depiction of Thessalonike is offered by John Staurakios because he renders the admiration called forth by the large Late Byzantine capitals in connection with the abandoned countryside.

  • A Comparison Between Organic and Conventional Olive Farming in Messenia, Greece

The region is considered the largest olive producer in the country and it is recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for Kalamata olive oil, which is considered extra fine. In response to the declining trend of organic olive farming in Greece, this study assesses to what extent organic olive farming in Messenia provides a financially and environmentally competitive alternative to conventional olive farming. In this study, 39 olive farmers (23 conventional and 16 organic) participated in interviews based on questionnaires. The results showed that organic olive farming is significantly more profitable than conventional farming, primarily because of a higher price for organic olive oil. Despite this, the majority of the conventional farmers perceived a low profit from organic farming as the main constraint to organic olive farming. All farmers agreed that organic olive farming contributed to a better environment, health and quality of olive oil. Organic farmers used fewer synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and applied more environmentally-friendly ground vegetation management techniques than conventional farmers.

However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

  • Results Factsheet Indicator Tra05: Time-Distance
    April 2008 RESULTS FACTSHEET INDICATOR TRA05: TIME-DISTANCE DEFINITION- OBJECTIVE The indicator assesses the time-distances within the Impact Zone of the Egnatia Motorway, when using means of road transport. The distance time between cities is an essential indicator for the assessment of the cities’ accessibility and a basic piece of information, as regards the cost calculation for the transportation of goods and the overall cost. RESULTS – ASSESSMENT With the help of the counts available and traffic model of EGNATIA ODOS SA, three maps (2, 3 & 4) of time zones have been prepared, showing the reduction of the time-distance assessed, which will be achieved for movements from Ioannina, Kozani, Thessalonki and Komotini to other areas with the completion of the motorway, in relation to the situation prior to the Egnatia Motorway construction. Generally, the completion of the Egnatia Motorway construction will result in a substantial saving of the time required to travel along Northern Greece. In particular, the route Ioannina - Thessaloniki will be reduced by approximately 3 hours, Ioannina - Komotini more than 4 hours, while the route Ioannina - Igoumenitsa will be reduced by 1 hour and the distance Ioannina- Kipi will be reduced by more than 4 hours. The time required for the route Kozani - Ioannina will be reduced by 1 hour, Kozani – Ioannina more than 90 minutes, Kozani - Komotini more than 2 hours, while the routes of Kozani - Igomenitsa and Kozani - Kipi will be reduced by up to 3 hours. The time required for the route Thessaloniki- Igoumenitsa will be reduced by more than 3 hours, while the journey Thessaloniki- Kipi (Greek - Turkish borders) will be reduced by 2 hours.

  • SOS Children's Villages
    Pre-school Educa/on of Children in Migra/on in Greece Ioannina – Greece Program summary Since October 2020, SOS Children’s Villages runs a kindergarten in Ioannina (Greece) to support refugee and migrant children and their families in their development, their mental health, their social interacBons and their integraBon in the Greek community. This project aims to support and care for preschool aged children and their families through preschool educaBonal acBviBes and psychosocial support. Background informa/on on refugees and asylum-seekers in Greece At the end of 2019, Greece hosted over 186.000 refugees and asylum-seekers. This included over 5.000 unaccompanied children. Most people were coming from Afghanistan, the Syrian Arab Republic, the DemocraBc Republic of the Congo and Iran. Sub-standard recepBon condiBons, overcrowded first-line recepBon faciliBes, as well as limited access to psychosocial support, case management, care, protecBon, health, immunizaBon and slow asylum and administraBve procedures remain the most common issues faced by refugee and migrant children and their families on the ground. Despite notable progress in naBonal legislaBve and policy framework related to the protecBon of refugee children, and overall inclusion into naBonal educaBon systems, naBonal capaciBes to respond to the needs of some of the most vulnerable children on the move (e.g. living in squats and informal seSlements in urban areas, potenBal vicBms of Gender Based Violence, as well as in detenBon or in first idenBficaBon and recepBon centres in Greek islands) are limited, requiring addiBonal investments and technical support. On top of that, some of the current support interven/ons have been downsized, which will affect the livelihood of 10.685 people of concern, either forcing them to leave their accommodaBon or leaving them without cash assistance.

[…] The term "Western culture" has come to define the culture of European countries as well as those that definitions have been heavily influenced by European immigration, such as the United States […] Western culture has its roots in the Classical Period of …when, to define, is to the Greco-Roman era and the rise of Christianity in the 14th century.” realise connections and significant overlap ◦ What do we mean by ‘tradition’? ◦ 1a: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) ◦ b: a belief or story or a body of beliefs or stories relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable … ◦ 2: the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another without written instruction ◦ 3: cultural continuity in social attitudes, customs, and institutions ◦ 4: characteristic manner, method, or style in the best liberal tradition GREECE: ANCIENT AND MODERN What we consider ancient Greece was one of the main classical The Modern Greek State was founded in 1830, following the civilizations, making important contributions to philosophy, mathematics, revolutionary war against the Ottoman Turks, which started in astronomy, and medicine.

  • How the Turks of the Peloponnese Were Exterminated During the Greek Rebellion
    HOW THE TURKS OF THE PELOPONNESE WERE EXTERMINATED DURING THE GREEK REBELLION SALÂH~~ R SONYEL Russo-Greek intrigues The peninsula of the Peloponnese (in southern Greece), which is also known as the Morea, was first partly conquered in 1397 CE by the Ottoman Sultan Beyazit I from the Byzantines, and was completely overrun in 1460 by Sultan Mehmet II, who was received as a deliverer by the Greek Orthodox Christian population, then suffering under the rule of the Roman Catholics'. In 1698 the Ottomans were complled to cede the Peloponnese to the Venetians, under the Treaty of Carlowitz, but in 1718 it was retroceded to the Ottoman Empire under the Treaty of Passarowitz2. According to the late Professor Dr. Douglas Dakin, who was an expert on the history of modern Greece: "This renewed Turkish rule the inhabitants found preferable to that of the Venetians; taxes were lighter; the adminisn-ation was less efficient and therefore less harsh; and the (Ottoman) infidel was much more tolerant than the Roman Catholic"3. The Ottomans established a province (pa~ahk) in the Peloponnese, the Greek population of which was about 400,000, gradually augmented by about 50,000 Turks and other Muslims. Despite the comfortable and easy life which the Greeks, especially those living in urban areas, led, they began to intrigue with the Russians during the reign of Tsar Peter the Mad. These intrigues, which aimed at the resurrection of the Byzantine Empire, continued under Empress Catherine II during whose reign Russian agents roamed the countryside in the Peloponnese, inciting the people to rebellion 4.
