"Best Landmarks in Athens" Created by: Cityseeker 6 Locations Bookmarked Parthenon "Ancient Classic Temple" Dedicated to Goddess Athena, the Parthenon is arguably one of the most recognized monuments of Greece. Located within the site of Acropolis, the marvelous and magnificent structure has a history that dates back to 447 BCE. Over the centuries, the Parthenon has witnessed many changes, destruction and reconstructions, along with a thoroughly mesmerizing by Steve Swayne history. It still stands tall, over 13.72 meters (45 feet) in height, representing the glorious Grecian history and all things classical. As such it is home to several Hellenic artifacts, invaluable artworks and sculptures. +30 21 0321 4172 www.visitgreece.gr/en/culture/mon Peripatos, Acropolis of Athens, Athens uments/parthenon Monument Philopappos "Historic Landmark" As the name suggests, Philopappos Monument was built in the memory of Philopappos (one of the Greek Princes). This structure is a burial by This photo was taken by monument built on the death of Philopappos and is situated on the Eusebius (Guillaume mountain with the same name.

The but always credit me as the base of this monument is inscribed with the name of Antiochus author as specified below. Philopappos, son of King Antiochus Epiphanes and is known for its fine sculpture. The lower level of the monument has a sculpture with a man riding on a chariot, supposedly Philopappos while the upper level has the ruins of statues of three men, namely King Antiochus IV, Philopappus in the center and general Seleucus I Nicato, which has been destroyed. The monument is an attractive architectural marvel, which is a must visit for all those who like to know more about mythology. Filopappos Hill, Athens Panathenaic Stadium "Reviving the Olympic Spirit" One of the city's major sights is the Panathenaic Stadium at the foot of Ardittos Hill. This huge horseshoe-shaped structure hosted the first contemporary Olympic Games back in 1896 when they were revived for the first time since antiquity. The present-day stadium is built on the site of an ancient stadium constructed in 330 BCE and later transformed by by Badseed the Romans into an arena. It is the only stadium around the globe to be made out of white marble, hence the stadium's nickname "Kallimarmaro" which translates into "beautiful marble". With its capacity of 45,000 spectators, the stadium is used nowadays as a venue for large-scale events. www.panathenaicstadium.gr/ Leof.

It was built next to the ancient road from Athens to Thebes in the late 5th century BC. Today, its massive defensive walls, although crumbling in places, are still hugely impressive. The stones are beautifully cut and laid, and the location is magnificent, with immense views over the city. Follow the road north west from the Attiki Odos (Exit 6), through the town of Fyli, and straight on up into the hills.

Less than an hour away from central Athens, this site features the ancient sanctuary of the goddess Artemis, or Diana as she was later called by the Romans, dating back to the 2nd Century BCE. According to Greek mythology, this is the place where Iphigenia spent the by Ophelia2 last years of her life and was finally buried. Visitors can see the colonnade of the temple complex constructed in the 5th Century BCE as well as the ruins of other buildings. There is also a small museum near the sanctuary with sculptures, pottery and other finds from the period between the 12th and 4th century BCE. +30 22 9902 7020 Vravronos, Vravrona JOIN US AT: cityseeker.com TERMS & CONDITIONS | PRIVACY POLICY | API | CONTACT US | Copyright (C) 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

    1 Kifissia, July 18th, 2019 HELECTOR is the contractor of the new “Waste Transfer Station (SMA) for Athens and Neighboring Municipalities” in the area of Eleonas The agreement for the project of the “Establishment of the Waste Transfer Station (SMA) for Athens and Neighboring Municipalities” in the area of Eleonas (Western Attica) has been signed by the Athens Municipality (Contracting Authority), the Special Inter-Collective Association of the Prefecture of Attica (E.D.S.N.A.) (Owner of the Project) and HELECTOR S.A., as Contractor. The total contract price is 10,839,005.15€ plus VAT and includes the design, construction and delivery in full operation of the Waste Transfer Station (SMA) in the area of Eleonas, in Western Attica, at a property of 20 acres approximately, owned by E.D.S.N.A. The Central Waste Transfer Station (SMA) has a key role in the basic infrastructure of the Regional Plan for the Management of Solid Waste in Attica, following the up-to-date legal and social requirements. The local waste collection systems’ process will be upgraded, thus creating environmental benefit, by limiting the circulation of waste collection vehicles, by reducing the aerial emissions and by supporting the effective operation of the landfill. In addition, the new Station (SMA) will adapt to the requirements of the Regional Plan for the Management of Solid Waste (PESDA) of Attica. With the opportunity of HELECTOR’s selection as a Contractor for the project, the CEO of HELECTOR, Mr. Haris Sofianos stated: «We are very pleased to undertake one more project towards the integrated solid waste management in Attica, supporting the evolution of the wider Regional Plan for the sector’s modernization.

    The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors

    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

    Long-Term Post-Fire Vegetation Dynamics in Pinus Halepensis Forests of Central Greece

    Plant Ecology 171: 101–121, 2004. 101 © 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Long-term post-fire vegetation dynamics in Pinus halepensis forests of Central Greece: A functional group approach Dimitris Kazanis1 & Margarita Arianoutsou2,∗ 1Botanical Museum & Department of Ecology and Systematics, Faculty of Biology, University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; 2Department of Ecology and Systematics, Faculty of Biology, University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; ∗Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]) Key words: Aleppo pine, Dispersal, Diversity, Growth form, Resilience, Succession Abstract A hierarchical approach for plant functional classification was applied to describe long-term vegetation change in Pinus halepensis burned forests. Plant species were initially grouped according to their growth form and afterwards data on species modes of regeneration, persistence and dispersal, together with some other specific competitive advantages were explored, resulting in the identification of 29 different functional groups, 14 for woody and 15 for herbaceous species. Three types of Pinus halepensis forests were identified, according to the structure of the understorey. For each forest type, a post-fire chronosequence of communities was selected for sampling. Data sampling was performed for at least two consecutive years in each community, so as to reduce the shortcomings of the synchronic approach and to increase the age range of each chronosequence. Even though the vast majority of the functional groups proved to be persistent throughout the post-fire development of vegetation, their species richness and abundance did not remain stable. An increase of annual herb richness and abundance was recorded in the first years after the fire, with the leguminous species forming the dominant functional group.
  • Gennadeion Notes, I

    Gennadeion Notes, I

    GENNADEION NOTES, I (PLATES 119-124) T nHE Gennadius Library, though it has been an integral part of the American School of Classical Studies since 1926, has too often remained terra incognita, or parum cognita, to many of the School's members and visitors. The reasons are not far to seek. As a collector and bibliophile,John Gennadiustook for his subject Greece, Greece in all its aspects and of all periods, classical, medieval and modern alike. Much of the collection, therefore, lies outside the normal range of classical studies. More- over, the classical section, rich though it is in certain restricted areas, notably in Renaissance editions of Greek authors and in early archaeological publications, is far from adequate for most types of research. By deliberate policy, to avoid unnecessary duplication with the main library of the School, new accessions are made almost en- tirely in the post-classical fields, and the classical portion of Gennadius' collection remains substantially as he left it. Nevertheless, it 'contains many rare items of great value and interest to the student of antiquity, and it seems appropriate, as occasion offers, to call some of these to the attention of classicists through the pages of Hesperia. The followingInote is presented, optimistically, as the first of a proposed series. I.
