Frühling Auf Chios Χίος Geschichte, Natur Und Mastixbäume 8 Frühling auf Chios Χίος Geschichte, Natur und Mastixbäume Gruppenreise mit Babis Bistolas 8. - 15. April 2017 Die duftende Insel Chios beherbergt abwechslungsreiche Strände, charaktervolle mittelalterliche Dörfer und eindrückliche byzantinische Kirchen und Klöster mit prächtigen Mosaiken. Im fruchtbaren südlichen Teil der Insel befinden sich die einmaligen Mastixbaum Haine und die duftenden Orangen-, Zitronen- und Mandarinengärten. Ganz anders sieht die Nordhälfte der Insel aus mit den kargen Gebirgen. Die Insel hat eine grosse Seefahrtstradition. Mehrere griechische Reederfamilien stammen aus Chios. In einer grandiosen Landschaft blühen im Frühling zahlreiche Orchideen, vier Wildtulpenarten und andere botanische Kostbarkeiten. 8. – 15. April 2017 Hotel in Kambos Reiseprogramm (Änderungen vorbehalten) Chios ist die fünftgrösste griechische Insel mit 52’000 Einwohnern und einer Fläche von 842 km² (etwa dreimal die Fläche des Kantons Schaffhausen). Im 6. Jahrhundert v. Chr. hatte die Stadt Chios, die an der Stelle der heutigen Inselmetropole stand, 80'000 Einwohner. Samstag, 8. April (1. Tag) Flug Zürich – Athen - Chios Am Morgen Hinflug von Zürich nach Athen. Weiterflug mit Olympic von Athen nach Chios. Transfer vom Flughafen Chios zum Hotel in Kambos. Das Hotel befindet sich in einem Herrenhaus eingebettet in einem duftenden Orangengarten. Hier verbringen wir alle sieben Nächte. Leier-Glockenblume Campanula lyrata Sonntag, 9. April (2. Tag) Kloster Agios Minas - Tulpenfelder Am Morgen besuchen wir das von Nonnen bewohnte Kloster Agios Minas. Anschliessend unternehmen wir einen Ausflug zu den Wildtulpenfeldern. Auf der Insel wachsen südlich der Hauptstadt in Olivenbaum- und Mastixstrauchhainen vier verschiedene Wildtulpenarten: Tulipa praecox, Tulipa agenensis, Tulipa clusiana und Tulipa undulatifolia. Weltweit existieren etwa 100 Tulpenarten, in Griechenland kommen 10 davon vor. Die Insel Bewohner nennen die Tulpen „lalades“. Sie blühen von Ende März bis Anfang Mai unter anderem in den Gebieten Mirmigi, Didima, Tholopotami, Kallimasia. Tulipa undulatifolia Montag, 10. April (3. Tag) Mastixdörfer und Mastixplantagen Wir besuchen die Mastixdörfer (Mastichochoria) Pyrgi, Olymbi und Mesta im Süden der Insel. Der Mastixbaum (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia) ist mit der Insel seit Jahrhunderten verbunden. Er wird nur im südlichen Teil der Insel kultiviert, wo die winterlichen Temperaturen selten unter null Grad fallen. Über 2 Millionen Mastixbäume wachsen auf Chios. Sie gehören einer Unterart der Familie Pistaziengewächse an, die nur auf Chios vorkommt. Die Rinde wird Mitte Juli mehrmals eingeritzt. Das aromatische Harz wird nach einem Monat gesammelt. Jährlich werden ca. 150'000 kg Mastixharz geerntet. Der griechische Historiker Herodot erwähnt, dass das aus der Rinde gewonnene aromatische Harz im antiken Griechenland von den Menschen gekaut wurde. Hypokrates betonte die therapeutischen Eigenschaften des Mastixbaums. Das Mastixharz wird in der Aroma- und Getränkeindustrie, in den Konditoreien, als Lack für Musikinstrumente und Möbel verwendet. Mastixbäume (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia) Dienstag, 11. April (4. Tag) Chios Stadt Die Inselhauptstadt Chios ist seit der Antike kontinuierlich bewohnt. Wir bewundern die Sammlung des Archäologischen Museums. Von besonderem Interesse sind Figurinen, die zwei Flöten- und einen Lyraspieler darstellen. Im Kastroviertel aus dem 9. Jahrhundert entdecken wir im Giustiniani-Palast die Sammlung byzantinischer Kunst. Im 14. Jahrhundert haben die Genuesen die Burg erweitert. Einer der schönsten Sandstrände, Karfas, liegt 6 km südlich des Hafens von Chios-Stadt. Sgraffito geometrische Muster in Pyrgi Mittwoch, 12. April (5. Tag) Kloster Nea Moni - Anavatos Einen Höhepunkt byzantinischer Architektur stellt das Kloster Nea Moni dar. Es gehört zusammen mit dem Kloster Daphni bei Athen und dem Kloster Osios Lukas bei Delphi zu den drei wichtigsten griechischen Sakralbauten des 11. Jahrhunderts und ist vor allem für seine wertvollen Mosaiken berühmt. Wir besuchen das mittelalterliche Dorf Avgonima. Wir machen einen Abstecher in das Ruinendorf von Anavatos. Der Ort erinnert uns an die byzantinische Bergfestung Mystras auf dem Peloponnes. Archangel Michael Nea Moni Kloster Donnerstag, 13. April (6.

Summary The Kampos of Chios is essentially a flat plain bounded by the city of Chios to the North, mountains to the West, hills to the South and the sea to the East. What makes it unique is a combination of physical structures, land use, and water management. Each tract of land within the Kampos was originally established with high boundary walls and a defensive tower to keep the land safe from the invasions which were endemic in the region up until the 13th Century. However, once the island was stabilised under Genoese control in the 14th Century, the Kampos took on a life beyond that of simple agriculture. Today, Chios is one of the poorer Greek islands, with limited tourism and limited agricultural production. However, in its heyday it played a pivotal role: first as a trading hub lying at the heart of the Byzantine empire with links into Asia Minor and the Western Mediterranean, then as a flourishing outpost under Genoese rule, and finally as a prosperous part of the Ottoman Empire.
