The Ionian Sea of the Ancient World: A Journey to Ithaca | By Giannis Loukas
Even in ancient times, the Ionian Sea was a crossroads of the sea routes connecting mainland Greece with the colonies of the Adriatic, Magna Graecia, and the western coasts of Epirus.
The name “Ionian” itself is first mentioned in the 6th century B.C. in a text by Hecataeus of Miletus. However, it is Aeschylus who also refers to the origin of the sea’s name:
Once you came to the Molossian plains and the steep mountain ridge beside Dodona, the home of the prophetic oracle of Thesprotian Zeus, that miracle which defies belief, the talking oak trees, clearly …More
Dimitris Kontodimos’s work Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun at the first edition of IONIAN LAB
Dimitris Kontodimos participated as an artist in the first edition of IONIAN LAB, the new artist residency presented by Space52 and Kalogerou on the island of Othoni in July 2026. As part of the residency, he created the work “Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun.”
The work takes its title from Jim Morrison, who in 1968 borrowed two phrases from the table of contents of James George Frazer’s book The Golden Bough. The phrases came from Chapter LX, titled “Between Heaven and Earth,” and referred to ancient taboos imposed on …More
All of Greece, One Culture | “The Professor’s Testament” at the Mycenae Archaeological Site | August 4 and 5, 2026
The play is based on the short story “The Professor’s Testament” from the collection The End of Our Small Town (1963) by Dimitris Hatzis. The short story incisively highlights how those in power behave in a provincial town in Greece.
In a melancholic yet comical manner, it vividly portrays the conflicting interests, passions, the malice, and the distortion of the mission of the community’s various institutions. The plot begins with the death of Professor Rallidis, a man who sought to fulfill his duties responsibly and serve as a source of inspiration for his students.
In the play, two women …More
Plans are underway to restore the Church of St. Joseph in Loutra, Tinos
The Ministry of Culture is proceeding with the restoration of the Church of St. Joseph in Loutra, Tinos, an important monument to the Catholic presence in the Aegean.
The church’s operation was directly linked to the activities of the educational and cultural institutions that developed in the area under the supervision of the Jesuits and the Ursulines, contributing to the shaping of the religious, educational, and cultural character of Loutra. The church is designated as a modern monument due to its unique architectural and historical value. The monument is a remarkable example of 19th-century ecclesiastical architecture, combining elements …More
Kalymnos | Preservation and Promotion of the Vouvalis Mansion
The Ministry of Culture is proceeding with the preservation and restoration of one of Kalymnos’s most significant modern monuments, the Vouvalis Mansion, through a project to restore and repurpose it.
The monument, which holds significant historical and architectural value, will be returned to the local community and visitors to the island for reuse following its preservation and restoration. It is a two-story building with an additional raised floor in the center of its main facade. The adjacent building, owned by the same family, is a faithful replica of the original structure and is currently used as a daycare …More
Hydra | The marble design studio on.entropy presented its Opuntia collection of sculptural objects
In June, at the Old Carpet Factory in Hydra, the Opuntia and Green Pepe sculptural design collections were presented through a site-specific installation.
Inspired by the prickly pear, the collections explored the relationship between nature, light, and marble through sculptural objects and portable lighting fixtures. With the invitation “Please Do Touch,” the installation encouraged the public to approach marble beyond its conventional perception: rigid yet malleable, austere yet tangible, cold yet luminous.
Set within the historic surroundings of the Old Carpet Factory mansion—known for its collection of rare musical instruments and …More
