Ne var ki bu yorucu lâkin oldukça keyifli yazım aşamasında bana eşsiz yardımları dokunan kişilerin yardımları olmasaydı, bu işin altından kalkabilmem mümkün olmazdı. Öncelikle tüm bu süreçte bana rehberlik ederek metnin meydana gelmesinde önemli katkıları bulunan tez danışmanım değerli hocam Dr. Ömer GEZER’e, bir an olsun yardımını esirgemediği için teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Bununla birlikte askerî tarihe olan ilgi ve alakamın artmasında doğrudan etkisi bulunan Hacettepe Üniversitesi Tarih Bölümü’nün değerli hocalarından Prof. Dr. Fatih YEŞİL başta olmak üzere, burada tek tek ismini sayamayacağım bölümümün kıymetli diğer tüm hocalarına, lisans dönemimden bu yana şahsıma katmış oldukları her şey için müteşekkirim. Kuşkusuz onların tedrisatından geçmiş olmak sayesinde, bugün bu çalışmayı ortaya koyabildim. Yine tüm bu süreçte, gerek içerisinden çıkamadığım Osmanlı arşiv metinleri bahsinde olsun gerek tez metnindeki gerekli düzeltmeler hususunda olsun, göstermiş olduğu destek için Doç. Dr. Cengiz FEDAKAR’a da teşekkürü bir borç bilirim. Diğer yandan burada sevgili ailemden, değerli babam Mehmet ALTINDİŞ ve annem Sevgi ALTINDİŞ’ten bahsetmeden bu satırları sonlandırmak gibi bir yanlışı tabii ki yapmayacağım. Onlara, her zaman yanımda oldukları ve bunu bana daima hissettirdikleri için tüm kalbimle teşekkür ediyorum. Zira göstermiş oldukları maddi ve manevi destek olmasaydı, bu çalışmanın altından kalkabilmem imkânsız olurdu. Bunun için onlara her zaman şükran duyacağım.

Wildlife Tours Peloponnese Trip Report 2011
Peloponnese Autumn Bulbs of Sparta A Greentours Trip Report 29th October to 6th November 2011 Led by Tristan Lafranchis Day 1 Saturday 29th October From London to Diakopto Everyone is at Heathrow bright and early and before long we are on our way to Athens’s spanking new airport where the group meets Tristan. After two hours drive we reach our hotel at Diakopto and have a nice dinner at Costa’s before a much needed sleep. Day 2 Sunday 30st October Kerinitis valley: Plataniotissa & Kerinia Weather is sunny as we leave Diakopto to the Kerinitis valley. After a short stop to enjoy the scenery of hillsides and mountains above the blue Gulf of Corinth, we drive to a narrow gully shaded by Plane trees. The stony slopes are home of many large-flowered Cyclamen hederifolium, perhaps var. confusum, whilst some beautiful Campanula versicolor grow on the vertical rocks. We then park the van by a chapel on the top of a hillside. A nice Colchicum bivonae is waiting for us on the edge of the parking place. It is still cool at this altitude (1000 m) when we start to explore the hillside. We first find a dozen and then hundreds of Biarum tenuifolium, a strange and dark plant usually found in very small number and surprisingly abundant today. On the rocky edge of the ridge we discover a very good show of perfectly fresh Sternbergia sicula visited by a Clouded Yellow. As temperatures rise Wall Browns and Brown Argus start to fly around. Walking down from the van we find nice Crocus cancellatus and a few more Colchicum bivonae.

A Trip to Greece Is a Trip Which Will Reveal Your Utmost Fantasies
A trip to Greece is a trip which will reveal your utmost fantasies! …where landscapes alternate and take you from the deep blue of the sea to the blue of the lakes and rivers on the mountains… where you can rediscover the freedom and peace of your mind! Let us share the secrets of Greece with you!! Experience Peloponnese Overview of the destination Peloponnese is one of the most important regions of Greece, rich in history and full of culture, tradition, ancient monuments, towns and beautiful sceneries. It is surrounded by the sea and is separated from the Northern part of the country by the Gulf of Corinth. You will be amazed by the contradictory landscapes as you’re driving from North to South. The mountainous and fertile landscapes of the North give their place to rocky formations sliding into the sea at the south. Sceneries of orange and the smells of the orange trees turn to green as the land surrenders to the domination of olive trees and their valuable fruits. Anything you desire you can find in Peloponnese. Seaside luxury resorts, small traditional cottages with homemade breakfast, cliff hanging luxury settlements and farm houses with agricultural activities can accommodate your ultimate desires. Those more adventurous can enjoy trekking expeditions, river rafting and cycling in the countryside. If you want to go deep into history, you can travel from antiquity to the Byzantine era. Mycenae, Ancient Olympia, Megalopolis, Naflpion, Mystras, Monemvasia and Pylos are few of the places you can admire. The charming villages with the stone built houses and the narrow quarters will seduce you with their simplicity and hospitable inhabitants.

The Mani, in Southernmost Greece, Is a Land Where Myths Were Born, Gods Once Roamed, and the People Are As Proud and Rugged As the Mountains They Call Home
The Mani, in southernmost Greece, is a land where myths were born, gods once roamed, and the people are as proud and rugged as the mountains they call home. Jim Yardley gets lost in one of the last great undiscovered corners of Europe. photographs by Martyn Thompson WRITTEN STOin NE Traditional Maniot tower houses in the village of Vathia. travelandleisure.com 123 half-century ago, the road linking the Mani to the rest of Greece came to an abrupt end. In Patrick Leigh Fermor’s beguiling 1958 book, Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese, the proprietress of a guesthouse near the caves notices Fermor’s future wife writing a letter to a friend in England. “Well,” the proprietress says, “tell them in London that you are in the Mani, a very hot place, and there is nothing but stones.” Soon enough, I came to the stones. The road cut through a sun-baked valley where olive groves were pinched between the sheer gray cliffs of the Taiyetos Mountains and the striking blue of the Mediterranean. Stone tower houses rose from almost every hilltop, medieval silhouettes against the sun of late afternoon. On a distant ridge, I could see the dome of a 12th-century Byzantine church. There was not a modern convenience in sight; it was as if the calendar had reached 1150, then stopped. Here at continental Greece’s arid and remote southernmost point, survival has never been taken for granted. Yet as the road traced the coast, I began to understand why the Maniots were de- termined to stick around.

Brussels, 18 September 2012
Directorate-General for Internal Policies of the Union Directorate for Budgetary Affairs Secretariat of the Committee on Budgetary Control Brussels, 3 December 2015 Report on the fact-finding mission of the Budgetary Control Committee to Greece 24/25 September 2015 Control of EU funded priority projects shortlisted by ‘’Task Force for Greece” B-1047 Brussels - Tel +32 2 28 448869 - Fax 0032 2 28 46958 Summary Greece has a long history of ill-managed EU-funded projects which have been prolonged or repaid to the EU budget due to delays in their implementation; The Greek financial crisis aggravated the problem as the weakening economy influenced the projected profitability of the major infrastructural projects (highways, railways, etc.); The capital control introduced by the Greek government became an additional heavy burden for the timely realisation of the projects, as it either limited the possibility of external purchase or prolonged the process of external acquisition of construction elements needed to implement the EU funded projects. The structure of the central administration leads to an unclear division of competency among the various bodies of the central administration; The Committee was surprised to discover that both the regional and local administration - which should be most directly linked to the conducted projects, as they will be the most influenced by the outcome of the project were not at all or only partially involved in many projects; in most cases the projects were decided by the central Greek administration which

Primary attention was given in the special architecture and cultural elements of Mani, which are protected under the Greek legislation system due to its unique nature, locality and historical importance. The case that is examined is based on the initiative of Mauroeidakos family to renovate its Tower-dwelling and transform its private usage to hotel facility service.
