Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 4 of 4 His hut, dignified with the name of a kula or tower, is twelve feet square within, and serves for every thing but a kitchen, which among Albanian soldiers is generally sub die. His palikaria occupy two other huts of the same size, but formed only of heaps of stones covered with branches, in which they all assemble when the weather is bad when fine, they repose on the lee-side of skreens made of branches supported upon rough posts, and which may easily be shifted according to the wind. The Aga's hut alone is tiled. The men consider them selves in luxury, having fish from the harbour for the trouble of catching it, and bread gratis from the villages. Hassau complains that in summer the air is unhealthy, and the winged insects very troublesome; but adds, that gnats, the worst of all, are seldom seen after June, the place being too dry for them. Petals consists almost entirely of rugged rocks, having small intervals of soil which are covered as usual in such situations in the winter and spring with a luxuriant growth of herbage, and a great variety of succulent or aromatic shrubs. On the summit are some velani oaks, and wild olives, and on the western side of the island a few fields which were cultivated by the Ithacans until Aly Pasha occupied the island.

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 2017-07-16 with total page 608 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.

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: "One of the great and lasting books about Greece."—Patrick Leigh Fermor "An intense and compelling account of an educated, sensitive archaeologist wandering the back country during the civil war. Half a century on, still one of the best books on Greece as it was before 'development.'"—The Rough Guide to the Greek Islands "He also is in love with the country…but he sees the other side of that dazzling medal or moon…If you want some truth about Greece, here it is."—Louis MacNeice, The Observer "One of the best and most honest books about the modern Greeks."—E. R. Dodds "Kevin Andrews experienced the dangers of the countryside during the civil war. The Flight of Ikaros, the book he produced from his travels, remains not only one of the greatest we have about postwar Greece—memorializing a village culture that has almost vanished—but also one of the most moving accounts I have ever read of people caught up in political turmoil…Flightwas first published in 1959 and last reprinted by Penguin in 1984. For too many years, this rare account has languished out of print."—Wall Street Journal In 1947, at the age of twenty-three, Kevin Andrews received a Fulbright Fellowship to study medieval fortresses in the Peloponnese. Andrews spent the long summers of 1948 to 1951 traveling through the region and the winters writing in Athens. This opportunity to travel through little-frequented areas during Greece’s postwar civil war—and before the advent of tourism, industrialization, or easy communications—brought Andrews into immediate contact with village populations, shepherd clans, and the paramilitary vigilantes who kept their own kind of order in the provinces, as well as with the displaced peasants of the Athenian slums. The close experience of all these lives took shape in The Flight of Ikaros, first published in 1959. Paul Dry Books is pleased to return to print this modern travel classic.

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. For this assist ance I am indebted to His Majesty's Hydrographer, Captain Beaufort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
