Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 4 of 4 In proceeding from the ruins to Alifaka, distant half an hour, we pass a tumulus situated in the plain, at one-third of the distance from the ruins. Alifaka is now a tjiftlik of Vely Pasha, and with the exception of one house now occupied by an Al banian Subashi, who superintends the Pasha' 3 con cerns, all the habitations are low huts of a single apartment, serving both for men and cattle. The Subashi, who is a native of Drageti near Tepeleni, is s11flefing from an intermittent fever; a disorder to which the Albanians are very subject when they pass the summer or autumn in these plains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 1 of 4 The general map appended to these Volumes has been constructed like that which accompanied my Travels in the Morea, from the measurement of a great number of angles with the sextant or theo dolite from every eligible station, which was acces sible to me, no Opportunity having been omitted of obtaining a complete triangle, when circumstances admitted of it. In applying these geometrical observations, I have had the benefit of some valu able information from John Hawkins, Esquire, of Bignor Park, in Sussex, who has had the kindness to communicate to me some important angles mea sured by him from the summits of the mountains 0sm and Pelium, and from two other stations in the eastern part of Thessaly. The coast-line has throughout been copied or corrected from the Admiralty surveys, executed under the direction of. Captains Smyth and Copeland, of the Royal Navy, of which those made under the orders of the lat ter officer are still unpublished.

Download or read book Travels in Northern Greece Vol 3 of 4 Classic Reprint written by William Martin Leake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 3 of 4 About six miles to the south-eastward of Parga is the entrance of Splantza, or the harbour of Pa nari, the ancient Glycys Limen, into which the Acheron discharges itself. The intermediate coast has a direction first due east, and then south; exactly in the angle is Ai Ianni, or St. John, which is the best harbour in this part of the coast. Porto Fanari is small and shallow, and therefore fre quented only by small vessels, which lead the corn and kalambokki of the plain of Fanari. The port is easily known by an interval of low coast between steep hills, and by a remarkable precipice on one side of the entrance. As at Bathrotam, the water of this bay is rendered almost sweet by the great river which is discharged into it whence the ancient name Glycys Limen. Suli is a conspicuous object rising behind this part of the coast on the heights a little to the southward of Porto Fanari is the village of Klarentza, and below it a small har bour and some magazines for the sardeles, which are caught in great plenty, in and near Porto Fa nari. The coast is steep but well cultivated as far as Cape Agriapidhia, the heights above which are seen from Corfu.

ADDITIONAL NOTE TO CHAPTER XXXVII. loannina in the Fourteenth Century. The manuscript alluded to in page 204 having been published in extenso, by M. Pouqueville, (Voyage dans la Grecc, tome 5, ) I shall subjoin an abstract of it, as it presents a curious picture of the condition of Epirus in the fourteenth century. It is a chronicle from 1350 to 1400, and was evidently written by an ecclesiastic: -- "Under the Emperor John Palaeologus, when the Turks were in possession of Smyrna, Ephesus, and Prusa, and ravaged the coasts of Thrace, when the Genoese conquered Chios, and the Franks of Navarre all the Peloponnesus except Monembasia and Lacedaemonialoannina was taken A. D. 1350, by Stephen Krai of the Triballi or Servians, who had previously invaded the lands of the Empire and seized upon the Grecian Vlakhia*, the government of which he bestowed with the title of Cassar upon one of his officers named Prelubo (HpiXovfiirot). The despotate of jEtolia he gave to his own brother Simeon, who, on arriving at loannina, married Thomais, daughter of the last despot Iohn, whose son Nicephorus was then a hostage (o/xnpot) at Constantinople, where he espoused a daughter of John Cantacuzenus. Anna, widow of John, and late queen (fiaaiXis) of the despotate, soon after the union of her daughter with Simeon, was married to a brother of the Krai Stephen, named Comnenus, 1 Mistra. 2 Thessaly. who assumed the government of Kanina and Beligrad (Herat). On the death of the Krai and of the Caesar Prelubo, Nicephorus was sent by the Byzantine government to recover the Despotate; upon which Simeon, with his wife Thomais, retired to Kastoria, where Simeon was proclaimed by his troops king of Servia, although Ureses (OvpeoTjc) son of Stephen was already reigning; and...
