‘Lights on Prespa’ – 27 July – 1 August 2011 A ‘Tourism’ Camp In this document you will find the description of “Lights on Prespa” and some information about tourism in Prespa . 1. Description of the project Prespa is a region where nature and culture come together in a perfect balance. The mountainous landscape and lakes embrace the hardship of the climate and rural villages all around making it a magical sight to be seen. The people always welcome you with a smile on their face and are always eager to talk to new people and tell stories about the village that will fascinate anyone. Exploring the nature and people in Prespa is an adventure one can never forget. However, as in all rural villages, young people don’t have access to the same social and cultural advantages as the youth in urban areas. To support change it is important for local Prespa Youth to exchange with young people from other European countries and with different backgrounds. By visiting Prespa, young people from abroad will have the chance to discover the region whilst locals get a glimpse of different cultures and re-discover the magic of their own world through the eyes of foreigners. Bearing this in mind, we invite you to join us in a camp at the Prespa lake shore where young people meet and share their experiences and different ways of life. “Lights on Prespa” will take place between the 27 th of July and 1 st of August with the aim to create suggestions for how to make Prespa a more attractive tourism destination for young people. We will choose 4 villages of Prespa, visit them, speak to the inhabitants, find out the history, attractions, habits and costumes, understand the particularities and suggest ideas of how to make and present a tourism offer that is attractive to young people all over. We will all stay in the Municipality sports’ court Patoulideio which provides all necessary facilities. Besides the main activities let’s prepare an open space where each of you can organize her or his own activity for the other participants and the local community, cultural nights with the presentation of your country’s characteristics, astronomy night, sports activities and a lot of fun stuff. We provide free food in the camp, but you have to cover your own travel expenses. Please bring your tents and sleeping bags!

Prespa’s Tourism Situation The region of Prespa is a mountainous area placed around the small and great Prespa lakes and across three neighbouring countries as Albania, fYR of Macedonia and Greece. Due to its position it is a rurally isolated area: the Greek part includes 19 villages between 1 and 200 inhabitants each and counts totally 2500 people. The villages are quite far from each other; something that makes local transport difficult. There is no public transportation: buses connect the region with the city of Florina only on three days weekly. The core of Greek Prespa is its national park established in 1974 and well- known for its biodiversity. Foxes, wolves and bears populate the forest, though it is not easy to see them. The lakes have a dozen of fish species including “tsironi”, a sort of freshwater sardine, and “grivadhi”, a kind of carp. But it is its birdlife which leads the scene and makes Prespa famous. Between one and two thousands pelicans migrate here every spring; the white and Dalmatian pelicans. Prespa hosts the biggest colony of Dalmatian pelicans in the world. On the other hand, cormorants, egrets and crested grebes are easy to be seen as well. The region has also a rich cultural heritage. Visit the ruins of the Basilica of Agios Achilleios on the big island of small Prespa Lake, which dates back to the Byzantine times and a sixteenth-century monastery, Panayia Porfaras. In Agios Germanos village a parish church resists from the eleventh-century with its frescos inside dating from the time when the place belonged to bishopric of Ohrid. From a point above the village, you have an amazing view of the landscape including the two lakes. Psarades is a fishermen village on great Prespa Lake. You can take a boat trip visiting the hermitages and taking a look at the impressive rock frescoes. But you need to stay on one side of the lake, you can’t cross the borders to fYR of Macedonia and Albania on the lake Then, the beaches are not big but easily accessible. When summer comes, people visit the beaches, finding refreshment in the warm lake water. Prespa is ideally placed to become a model of sustainable tourism since it has already developed a small level of tourist structures such as hotels; typical taverns where you can taste traditional food and mood; and coffee bars to enjoy Greek coffee and frappe as locals do. The tourist information offices are in Agios Germanos, Psarades, Vrondero and Pili and the organizations which are working on the sector are CTP (Cultural Triangle of Prespa), SPP (Society for the Protection of Prespa), Prespa National Park Management Body, Ecotourism Society of Prespa and the Municipality of Prespa. CTP has implemented over the last years several projects aiming at: the collaboration of tourism stakeholders; establishment of the Ecotourism Society of Prespa; promotion of a common ecotourism destination with the title “Transnatura”, creation of a cross- border thematic tourism products and training of tourism stakeholders. Unfortunately tourism has been developed only in a few Prespa villages and the others have not developed yet any tourism attraction or product. At the same time the area is suffering from the competition of sea destinations which are now even more accessible from the closest cities (as Florina and Kastoria) due to the construction of new highways linking to coasts. AGIOS GERMANOS, 53077, PRESPES, GREECE Tel.30-23850-51332, fax 30-23850-51210, [email protected] , www.ctp.gr , www.transnatura.gr Tourism here is still a small-scale industry, attracting mostly national tourists for 2-3 days and lacking of interest from young people. Thus, working in the fields cultivating white haricot beans is the main supply. The region is still suffering from isolation; something that started during the Second World War and the Civil War (’46- 49) and made many people migrate and some villages being abandoned (Prespa was an important war-strategic point. Antartiko village, for example, had 3000 people before the wars while now just 100). In other words, although rich in biodiversity, historical and cultural heritage, Prespa is a complex, troubled region of Greece. But at the same time a richly rewarding community and landscape for those who have the staying-power and motivation to look beneath the surface and persevere in the journey of discovery. Prespian lights will shine brighter…. see you in Prespa!

    An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short Description of the Region

    An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short description of the region Located in the north-western corner of Greece at 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains, the Prespa Lakes region is a natural park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species. Prespa is a trans boundary park shared between Greece, Albania and FYR Macedonia. It only takes a few moments for the receptive visitor to see that they have arrived at a place with its own unique personality. Prespa is for those who love nature and outdoor activities all year round. This is a place to be appreciated with all the senses, as if it had been designed to draw us in, and remind us that we, too, are a part of nature. Prespa is a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the Mikri and Megali Prespa lakes; there are also villages with hospitable inhabitants, always worth a stop on the way to listen to their stories and the histories of the place. The lucky visitor might share in the activities of local people’s daily life, which are all closely connected to the seasons of the year. These activities have, to a large extent, shaped the life in Prespa. The three main traditional occupations in the region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. There are a lot of paths, guiding you into the heart of nature; perhaps up into the high mountains, or to old abandoned villages, which little by little are being returned once more to nature’s embrace.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • Landraces of Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Under Organic Agriculture in a Protected Area in Greece

    Landraces of Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Under Organic Agriculture in a Protected Area in Greece

    2nd Scientific Conference within the framework of the 9th European Summer Academy on Organic Farming, Lednice na Moravě, Czech Republic, June 24 - 26, 2009 Prelimenary results on a comparative study evaluating landraces of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under organic agriculture in a protected area in Greece. Vakali, C.1, Papathanasiou, F.,2 Papadopoulos, I.2 and Tamoutsidis, E.2 Key words: local landraces, dry beans, organic growing conditions, yield characteristics, cooking time Abstract Organic farming requires cultivars or landraces that are specifically adapted to this low input cropping system. Six landraces of Greek common dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and one from the neighbouring Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) were evaluated for different agronomic and physicochemical characteristics under organic conditions in the National Park of the lake Prespes, on the borders of Greece, FYROM and Albania. Significant differences among landraces were found in yield characteristics such as yield plant-1, pod plant-1 and seeds pod-1 with two of the landraces performing the best. The cooking time was estimated by measuring seed hardness using a penetrometer. There was a considerable variation between the landraces tested with cooking times between 25-45 minutes. Some of the landraces could be a useful resource for the development of organic farming systems in this protected area. Introduction Organic farming is increasingly gaining interest in Greece with organic farmers especially in the North part of the country to have tripled in the past few years. However, the research on organically grown land is limited with organic farming relying on the improvements achieved by conventional methods.

  • Sustainable Management of Prespa Lake

    Sustainable Management of Prespa Lake

    The Art of Resisting Extreme Natural Forces 71 Sustainable management of Prespa Lake V. Popov1, T. Anovski2 & R. Gospavic1 1Wessex Institute of Technology, Environmental and Fluid Mechanics, Southampton, UK 2Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, Department of Chemical and Control Engineering, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia Abstract The Prespa Lake is on the border between Greece, Albania and Republic of Macedonia. The importance of Prespa Lake has been widely recognised by national and international bodies in the three neighbouring countries not only because of its natural beauty, but also because of its high biodiversity, including populations of rare water birds, like for example the Dalmatian pelican, as well as for its cultural values including Byzantine monuments. In recent years a decrease in water in the lake has been recorded. Though there have been several studies investigating the water level decrease, it has been impossible so far to conclude on the reasons behind this phenomenon. A research project has started recently supported by the NATO SfP programme which has as one of the main objectives to look into the cause behind the water level decrease, and also to suggest strategies for the water usage of the lake’s watershed. 1 Introduction Three lakes, Ohrid, Big Prespa and Small Prespa, are on the borders between Albania, Republic of Macedonia and Greece, see Figure 1. Galichica and Dry mountains separate the lakes. According to an existing hypothesis by Cvijic [1], water from the Prespa Lake, which is shared by the three neighbouring countries, is drained through the Galichica and Dry mountains into Ohrid Lake. In Figure 2 the lakes and the Galichica and Dry mountains are shown.

    Creating Touristic Itinerary in the Region of Prespa Abstract

    International Journal of Academic Research and Reflection Vol. 4, No. 7, 2016 ISSN 2309-0405 CREATING TOURISTIC ITINERARY IN THE REGION OF PRESPA M.Sc. Ema MUSLLI, PhD Candidate University of Tirana ABSTRACT The Prespa Region is located on the Balkan Peninsula, between the countries of Albania, Macedonia and Greece. It includes Greater Prespa Lake and the surrounding beach and meadow areas, designated agricultural use areas and the towns of Pustec, Resen and Prespes. This region is now a part of the Trans-Boundary Biosphere Reserve ‘Ohrid-Prespa Watershed. Greater and Lesser Prespa lakes plus Ohrid Lake are included in the UNESCO world Heritage Site. This area has been known historically for its diverse natural and cultural features. Prespa Region is currently covered by Prespa National Parks in Albania and Greece and Galichica and Pelisteri National Parks in Macedonia. The natural environment and the cultural heritage are a key element designated for the development of the region’s sustainable tourism. This study was enhanced via the Geographic Info System (GIS) digital presentation showing the opportunities for nature tourism in the Pustec and Resen commune. The article also includes two touristic itineraries that will help a better promotion of the tourism in the Prespa Region. Keywords: Touristic potential, cultural heritage, nature heritage, touristic itineraries. INTRODUCTION The Greater Prespa Watershed is located in the southeastern region of Albania and in the southwestern part of Macedonia, in the region of Korçë, commune of Pustec in the Albanian part, in the Resen commune in the Macedonian part and in the Prespe commune in Greece.

    Antartiko - Prespes

    COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LTD West Axis at limits of Region of Western Macedonia – Design for the Improvement of Road Florina – Antartiko - Prespes The project is about the improvement of the National Road from the Northern City of Florina to the Prespa Lakes Area, a highly touristic site of Northern Greece. The total road length is about 56 Km and the length designed by this project is about 26Km. High Mountain elevations between 750m and 1500m above sea level with very steep slopes and very deep ravines. To this extremely rugged terrain with granite subsoils there will be constructed 17 Valley bridges and an Cut&Cover and this is the subject of the Structural Design of the project. All bridges are precast – prestressed concrete beam structures of total lengths between 80m and 130m. The precast beams are transferred in situ and raised to be placed on the high piers and abutments. They are circular in plan with relatively small radius (95Μ to 140Μ) and have a longitudinal slope of about 6%. The overall width of the deck including the pavements is about 13.00m. They have a single traffic surface with one lane on each direction and barriers on each side. Expansion joints are provided at the abutments. The structural continuity of the deck along the length is provided with a continuity deck slab through the piers. Each pier consists of a pair of circular hollow columns of reinforced concrete and a cap beam on top of each pier which supports the upper structure resting on anchored laminated elastomeric bearings. At both bridge ends, transition slabs in conjunction with the abutments and the abutment wing walls form the transitional backfill.
