Between Mythology and History. Exploring the Archaeology of Ancient Greece
An interactive discussion of important archaeological sites of Greece will take place on board from an established Greek archaeologist. Among them comes Olympia. The discussion will include the island of Santorini, the Athenian Acropolis and its symbol, the 5th century Parthenon temple. Mycenae was the strongest power of the important civilization which is called Mycenaean, the ancient city of Messini in the south-west Peloponnese. Moreover, we will talk about the island of Crete and its main palatial centre, Knossos. Northern Greece saw the birth of two personalities, Phillip II and his son, Alexander the Great. Vergina, ancient Aiges is the birth place of the so-called Hellenistic world.
In north-west Greece, Dodoni was a powerful centre in this part of the Hellenic world. The island of Samos, and, on what is today the Turkish coast, the great Hellenic city of Ephesus, modern-day Kusadasi.

Flight over Symi Port with my Drone.Symi island of the Dodecanese, Greece, is situated in southeast Aegean sea and northwest of Rhodes. While touring around the island you will see many churches and monasteries devoted to the Archangel Michael. The Greek Orthodox Monastery of Taxiarchis Mihail Panormitis is the most important on the island and second largest in the Dodecanese after the monastery of St John the Theologian in Patmos.
The monastery is located on the south end of Symi, situated on the seafront of the tiny village of Panormitis. It is a closed-in cove with a small sandy beach, protected by a narrow inlet that opens out into a wide harbour. The mountainous backdrop is covered with pine trees which give the area an ambiance of solitude.
The monastery is a large 18th-century Venetian-styled building with the highest baroque bell tower in the world. The facade of the main structure is white and it stretches along the coast on either side of the main gateway. In excellent condition, the Italians constructed these two rows of buildings after World War II. These buildings now contain holiday flats that can be rented by tourists visiting the monastery and also contain a bakery among other things.
Once inside the monastery main gate, visitors are welcomed by an inner courtyard decorated with exotic trees and plants and paved with 'hokhlakia'. The church dedicated to the Panormiti is on the left and inside contains the two-metre-high, silver-leafed wall icon of the Panormiti. The entire church interior is covered with iconography (of particular interest is the 'fall of the angels' mural at the back of the church) and is decorated with very elaborate chandeliers.
Monastery of Arch. Michael Panormitis (Symi, Greece)
The exact historical date of the construction of this church remains unknown but some suggest that it was built around 450 AD over the site of an ancient temple dedicated to the pagan god Apollo. It is known for certainty that the existing church underwent a major renovation in the 18th century to bring it to the standard that is in existence today.
The monastery has two museums. One houses ecclesiastical art, and is rich in exhibits like pontificals, silver icons, Russian epitaphs, and ecclesiastical utensils, ship model offerings brought to Panormitis from far away by the sea, and one of folk art with important objects of the folk culture of the island relevant to fishing, agriculture, and shepherding. There is also a library with Byzantine manuscripts and editions of ecclesiastical, historical, and philological content, as well as a gallery with paintings of the landscape of the monastery and its two chapels. There is also a memorial to a former abbot, two monks, and two teachers, who in 1944 were executed for running a spy radio for the British commandos.
The monastery receives heaps of day-trippers from Rhodes, so if you really want to enjoy it in peace and quiet, it is best to wait until they have gone. The monastery's dorm-house can host up to 500 people. The only way to get to the monastery is via a ferry or excursion boat. If you are already on the island, there is a road that exists between the monastery and the town of Symi. This can take over six hours to walk or an hour using a local bus service or rented scooter. In Greek mythology, Symi is reputed to be the birthplace of the Charites and to take its name from the nymph Syme (in antiquity the island was known as Aigli and Metapontis), though Pliny the Elder and some later writers claimed that the name was derived from scimmia a monkey. In Homer's Iliad the island is mentioned as the domain of King Nireus, who fought in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks. Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War there was a Battle of Syme near the island in January, 411 BC, in which an unspecified number of Spartan ships defeated a squadron of Athenian vessels. Little was known about the island until the 14th century, but archaeological evidence indicates that it was continuously inhabited, and ruins of citadels suggest that it was an important location. It was first part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire,[7] until its conquest by the Knights of St. John in 1373
Panormitis Monastery Symi - Μοναστήρι του Πανορμίτη στη Σύμη
The monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis is the most important tourist attraction in the island of Symi. It was built in the 6th century, but what we see today is the result of a restauration that took place during the 18th century. The monastery also has two museums, a folklore museum and an ecclesiastical museum.
A well-known tradition is the fact that a lot of objects believers throw in the sea, find their way to the small port in front of the monastery. Things like boxes, small vessels, wooden chests, bottles of oil etc. They are all collected and kept in the ecclesiastical museum.
One of the most characteristic sights is the belltower built in 1911.
Το μοναστήρι του Αρχάγγελου Μιχαήλ του Πανορμίτη είναι το πιο σημαντικό αξιοθέατο του νησιού. Χτίστηκε τον 6ο αιώνα, αλλά αυτό που βλέπουμε σήμερα είναι το αποτέλεσμα της αποκατάστασης από τα νέα κτίρια του 18ου αιώνα. Το μοναστήρι φιλοξενεί δύο μουσεία, το λαογραφικό και το θρησκευτικό.
Ιδιαιτερότητα και σημείο θαυμασμού αποτελεί το γεγονός ότι πάμπολλα αντικείμενα που ρίχνουν οι πιστοί προσευχητικά στη θάλασσα, φτάνουν κατά παράδοξο τρόπο στο λιμάνι του Πανορμίτη. Κουτιά, μικρά καραβάκια με λιβάνι, ξύλινα μπαούλα, μπουκάλια με λάδι κλπ. έχουν σταλεί στη Μονή ακόμη και από τον Ατλαντικό ωκεανό και διατηρούνται στο εκκλησιαστικό Μουσείο.
το περίφημο καμπαναριό του Πανορμίτη, κτίσμα του 1911 που συγγενεύει με ρωσικά καμπαναριά, είναι επίσης άξια θαυμασμού.

Naxos, Greece - Apiranthos - AtlasVisual
Naxos Video Map:
The marble village, as the locals call Apiranthos, is located in the heart of the mountainous areas at the foot of Fanari Mountain. It is 25 km from the town and impressive with its medieval architecture and faith in tradition.. The main feature is the dialect of the region and the inclination of people towards the arts. The women of the region make the most beautiful textiles. Also in this area we find remarkable Byzantine churches, while the village is home to both archaeological and folklore museums. Major attractions are the towers of the Venetian rulers Sommaripa, Kastri and Bardani and the very impressive Zevgoli tower dating from the 17th century and built on a rock near the entrance of the village. Apeiranthos is a mountain village and as such does not have its own beach. However, it is within walking distance of Moutsouna and Psili Ammos Beaches.

[한국어 정보]
차로 15분 거리 파르나소스 산 중턱에 있는 아라호바 마을로 향했다. 아라호바 마을은 드라마 ‘태양의 후예’ 촬영지로 잘 알려진 마을이다. 마을에 들어서면 시계탑을 볼 수 있는데 저 시계탑 앞에서 드라마의 남녀 주인공이 진한 입맞춤을 했다. 이탑은 1860년 원래 교회 종탑으로 세워졌지만 1870년 대지진으로 무너졌다가 1966년 시계탑으로 재건되었다. “옛날에는 창고로 사용했었어요. 주로 치즈를 보관했죠. 그때는 전기가 없어서 냉장고 대용이었어요.” 아름다운 마을 풍경 때문에 관광객이 많을 거라 생각했는데 예상이 빗나갔다. 대부분의 상점도 문을 닫았다. “안녕하세요.” “안녕하세요.” “마을에 왜 사람들이 없어요?” “다들 축제에 가서 그래요. 성인 게오르기오스를 위한 축제를 해요. 그는 1824년에 이곳에서 독립을 위해 싸우기도 했어요.” “가볼게요.” “그래요 빨리 가 봐요.” 오늘이 축제 마지막 날이라고 한다. 서둘러야겠다. “지금 올라가면 쇠공 던지기 할 거예요. 씨름도 해요. 주로 힘쓰는 경기들이에요.” “왜 경기들을 하죠?” “성 게오르기오스는 마을의 수호성인이에요. 그래서 아주 오래 전부터 그를 기리는 거예요.” 전설에 따르면 성 게오르기오스는 리비에 마을 사람들을 괴롭히던 용을 무찌르고 마을 사람들을 구했다고 한다. 그 후 다른 마을 사람들도 그가 자신의 마을을 지켜주기를 바라며 그를 기념하고 축제를 연다고 한다. 교회 앞 마당에선 운동경기가 한창이다. 그때 새끼 양 한 마리가 경기장에 난입했다. “마을에 양 키우는 주민이 가져온 거예요. 성인 게오르기오스에게 바쳐진 양을 우승한 사람에게 주는 겁니다.” 지금 이 경기는 ‘팔레‘ 라는 그리스 민속 경기다. 언뜻 보면 우리의 씨름과 흡사하다. 이 경기는 등이 땅에 닿은 선수가 지는 경기다. 초반에는 검은 옷을 입은 선수가 우세했는데 순간의 실수로 패하고 만다. “지금 저 아이가 이긴 거예요. 이제 저 아이는 전 경기에 이긴 아이와 붙을 거예요.” 축제 4일 동안, 토너먼트 형식으로 진행된 경기에서 드디어 우승자가 탄생한다. 교회 옆 식당에선 사람들이 줄을 서서 뭔가를 기다린다 가까이 가 보니 음식을 나눠주고 있다. “전통이에요. 오늘 축제를 마치면서 모두에게 음식을 나눠주는 거예요.” 양고기에 빵과 치즈가 든 쟁반을 들고 가는 아저씨를 따라가 봤다. 경기하던 모습은 사라지고 어느새 거하게 차려진 연회가 펼쳐지고 있었다. 각자 독특한 복장을 한 주민들이 모여든다. “아라호바에선 각자 자기만의 전통 옷이 있어요. 이게 제 옷인데 비싸긴 하지만 자수예요. 이날을 위해서 자기만의 옷을 지어 입어요.”

We drove to Arahoba village in the middle of Parnassus mountain for 15 minutes by car. The town of Arahoba is well known as a place to film the drama The Sun of the Fallen. When I entered the town, I could see the clock tower, and the male and female protagonist of the drama kissed in front of the clock tower. The tower was originally built as a church bell tower in 1860, but collapsed in the great earthquake of 1870 and rebuilt as a clock tower in 1966. In the old days, I used it as a warehouse. I kept cheese mostly. At that time, there was no electricity, so it was a substitute for the refrigerator. I thought there would be a lot of tourists because of the beautiful scenery of the village. Most stores also closed. Hello. Hello. Why do not you have people in the village? Everybody goes to the festival. I'm doing a festival for an adult Georgios. He fought for independence here in 1824. I'll go. Yes, go quickly. Today is the last day of the festival. I have to hurry. If I go up now, I will throw the iron. I wrestle. Why are we playing? St. Georgios is the patron saint of the town. So it's been a long time for him to honor him. Legend has it that St. Georgios defeated the dragon that harassed the villagers of Riviere and saved the villagers. After that, other villagers also celebrate him and open festivals, hoping he will protect his village. In the front yard of the church, athletic competition is in full swing. Then a lamb entered the stadium. It's brought in by villagers who live in the village. It's a Greek folk game called the 'Palais'. At first glance, it looks like our wrestling. This game is a game in which the player who touches the ground touches the ground. In the early stages, the player with the black outfit prevailed, but he lost with a mistake of the moment. That kid won now. Now the child will go with the child who won the game. During the four days of the festival, the winner is finally born in the tournament format. In the restaurant next to the church, people stand in line and wait for something. It's a tradition. I'm going to give it to everyone at the end of the festival today. I followed the uncle who was carrying a tray of bread and cheese in a lamb. The appearance of the game was gone, and the banquet was held in a big room. The residents gather in their own unique outfits. In Arahoba, each has its own traditional clothing. This is my clothes, but it's expensive, but it's embroidered. I wear my own clothes for this day.

Kalymnos, Greece - Kalymnos Town & Pothia - AtlasVisual
Kalymnos Video Map:
Kalymnos Town is located 3 km northwest of Pothia and for many centuries was the capital of the Kalymnos. Today the village is an extension of Pothia. It is built in a valley away from the sea because of pirates. It is a place that still keeps the traditions alive. In the area are Kalymnos' major attractions.
Pothia is the capital and the port of Kalymnos. A densely populated area is built at the beginning of Pothia. Here, visitors encounter a wide variety of traditional houses with strong neoclassical elements. In the Archaeological Museum of Kalymnos, there are a large number of ancient bronze and marble sculptures, tools, pottery, weapons and coins which show the evolution of Kalymnos from the prehistoric to Byzantine times. In Pothia there are also Maritime and Folk Museums. Another attraction of Kalymnos is the Church of Saint Savvas which dominates the west side of the harbor where the view is breathtaking.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Crete (Greek: Κρήτη, Kríti ['kriti]; Ancient Greek: Κρήτη, Krḗtē) is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, the 88th largest island in the world and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, and Corsica. Crete and a number of surrounding islands and islets constitute the region of Crete (Greek: Περιφέρεια Κρήτης), one of the 13 top-level administrative units of Greece. The capital and the largest city is Heraklion. As of 2011, the region had a population of 623,065.
Crete forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece, while retaining its own local cultural traits (such as its own poetry and music). It was once the centre of the Minoan civilisation (c. 2700–1420 BC), which is the earliest known civilisation in Europe. The palace of Knossos lies in Crete.
