Sesklo - Greece HD Travel Channel
Sesklo in Central Greece, is one of the oldest settlements and the first acropolis of Greece, 10 km west of Volos, the place where the Argonauts started their journey. First settlement finds are dated from 6000 BC. The village Sesklo gave its name to a whole culture, the Sesklo culture, a period in the early days of the Neolithic in Greece. The post houses with mud walls were erected on stone foundations, which are still preserved. The acropolis contained already 500 houses, which at that time was a considerable size.
During our visit, an English female doctoral candidate was busy with cataloging 40.000 bones.

Sésklo in Mittelgriechenland, eine der ältesten Siedlungen und die erste Akropolis Griechenlands, liegt 10 km westlich von Volos, dem Ort von dem die Argonauten zu ihrer Reise aufbrachen.
Erste Siedlungsfunde werden auf 6000 v. Chr. datiert. Der Ort gab einer Periode in der Frühzeit des Neolithikums in Griechenland ihren Namen, die Sesklo-Kultur.
Die Pfostenhäuser mit Lehmwänden wurden auf steinernen Fundamenten errichtet, die heute noch vorhanden sind. Die Akropolis umfasste bereits 500 Häuser, was in jener Zeit einer beträchtlichen Größe entsprach.
Bei unserem Besuch war eine einsame englische Doktorandin damit beschäftigt 40.000 Knochen zu katalogisieren.

Volos | Greece | Βόλος | Thessaly, industrial area, Sesklo, Pelion, Ancient Dimini, port,
Volos (Greek: Βόλος) (Population: 144.449 (2011)) is the 6th biggest city (with the 3rd largest industrial area and the 3rd largest port) in Greece, situated in Thessaly, almost in the middle of the distance between Athens (330 km) and Thessaloniki (220 km). Volos is an industrial city, with a large port - but there are a few hidden gems here that you might find as you pass through to islands or Pelion.
Archaeological site of Ancient Dimini, Dimini. Tues - Sun: 8.30AM - 4.30PM, Mon: closed.. Ancient Dimini was a neolithic village which has been excavated and uncovered. Of particular interest are the well preserved House N, where a pot was discovered beneath the floor with the burnt remains of a child (an ancient resident as opposed to a more recent one!) and the Tombi grave, similar to that at Mycenaea, which is buried deep into the ground near the fortified town, but with a caved in roof. Shade is spare, so make sure to visit early in the morning. Adjacent to these ruins, and to be opened soon (although how long this has been the case is not said!) are some Mycenaean ruins, which include a large palace. These ruins, whilst not open yet, can be viewed from behind a limit, and are expected to be part of the as-of-yet-undiscovered ancient city of Iolkos, the home of Jason (of Argonaut fame!) There is an interesting audio guide tour available for free in both Greek and English. €2 per person, students free. Ticket includes free entry to archaeological site at Sesklo. edit
Archaeological site of Ancient Sesklo, Sesklo (Take the road to Sesklo, then look for the turn-off to the left that goes down the hill before the start of Sesklo (it is signposted, but keep an eye open for them.). Sesklo is a more impressive site in terms of its location, but is less ims might change your first idea. Ermou street is a long paved road parallel to the promenade, Argonafton str, offering a wide variety of shops for any taste, plus a selection of hidden bars and cafes, especially around St.Nikolaos Square, the city cathedral, dedicated to patron saint of the sailors, St. Nicholas. There is a seaside park between the university Papastratos building and Agios Konstantinos church on the promenade. Anavros Park starts directly behind Agios Konstantinos and extends to the east all the way till Anavros beach, an open municipal strand, offering clearwater to the swimmer during the summer (and winter for the brave).
For those that have a car, there is also Alykes municipal beach, a 5-minute-drive from the center to the southwest, in the more easygoing Alykes district of Volos, having cafes and bars offering sunbeds on the sand during late at night, where you can enjoy your cocktail and take a swim as well. The municipal beach in Alykes has an entrance fee of € 1 during the day, offering a lifeguard, showering facilities, clothes-changing chambers and a beach bar. You can easily go to Alykes with city bus (blue bus) number 6 from the city hall.

There are acceptable beaches towards the southern end of the city at Anavros. To get there, follow the coastal promenade south from Argonafton St or park in the roads behind the city hospital. Most locals, however, head to beaches the other side of the giant cement works on the outskirts of the city, to beaches at Agria (20 mins by bus) or further down the coast. Generally, the water is clearer and cleaner the further away from Volos' port. But, Anavros is acceptable and many many locals do swim there. But seriously, if you do have a car and you want to go to a beach, it is well worth getting out of the city limits and beyond - some of the best beaches on the Greek mainland can be found on Pelion.
There are several cinemas in Volos. Films are shown in original language with Greek subtitles, whereas cartoons are dubbed. In the

Ancient Thessaly
'''Thessaly''' or '''Thessalia''' ( Attic Greek:, ''Thessalía'' Aeolic Greek ( Thessalian ) , ''Petthalia'' ) was one of the traditional regions of Ancient Greece. During the Mycenaean period, Thessaly was known as Aeolia, a name that continued to be used for one of the major tribes of Greece, the Aeolians, and their dialect of Greek, Aeolic.

Dimini (2) - The centre of the 7,000-year-old Settlement
Treading on new territory - I only travelled as far north as Delphi on my first visit to Greece - Dimini, located near the large city of Volos, is one of the oldest and most important sites in Greece.
Dating to the beginning of the 5th Millennium BC (4800 BC), the Neolithic site is 7,000 years old. Extremely well preserved, it gives an excellent insight into Neolithic life.
What is most notable are the lack of defensive walls during this time period - people were clearly not running around attacking each other in large numbers, but were seemingly living in peaceful communities and storing animals and food. It's a big question to understand when we humans started building larger settlements with high defensive walls and why that sudden burst of violence with organised armies occurred.
We also visited the nearby site of Sesklo, two thousand years older than Dimini (7000 BC) but unfortunately my camera battery was nearly dead and I could not record any video.

Volos
Volos is a coastal port city in Thessaly situated midway on the Greek mainland, about 326 kilometres north of Athens and 215 kilometres south of Thessaloniki. It is the capital of the Magnesia regional unit. Volos is the only outlet to the sea from Thessaly, the country's largest agricultural region. With a population of 144,449, it is an important industrial centre, while its port provides a bridge between Europe, the Middle East and Asia.The urban area counts 150,009 inhabitants with an area of 496.6 km2.
Volos is the newest of the Greek port cities, with a large proportion of modern buildings erected following the catastrophic earthquakes of 1955. It includes the municipal units of Volos, Nea Ionia and Iolkos, as well as smaller suburban communities. The economy of the city is based on manufacturing, trade, services and tourism. Home to the University of Thessaly, the city also offers facilities for conferences, exhibitions and major sporting, cultural and scientific events. Volos participated in the 2004 Olympic Games, and the city has since played host to other athletic events, such as the European Athletic Championships. Volos hosted the 7th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics from 27 July to 5 August 2013.

Βόλος - Διμήνι, Volos - Dimini - Αρχαιολογικός χώρος
Music: Ancient Greek war music - Winds of Ithaca
Στις βορειοδυτικές παρυφές του σημερινού χωριού Διμήνι, 5χιλ. από την πόλη του Βόλου, επάνω σε χαμηλό λόφο με εξαίρετη εποπτεία στον Παγασητικό κόλπο, βρίσκεται ο μεγάλος
και καλά οργανωμένος προϊστορικός οικισμός του Διμηνίου. Πρόκειται για έναν από τους πιο γνωστούς οικισμούς της Ελλάδας και για το σημαντικότερο οικισμό της Νεότερης Νεολιθικής περιόδου. Μαζί με το Σέσκλο είναι οι πιο συστηματικά ανασκαμμένες νεολιθικές θέσεις της Θεσσαλίας, που μας προσφέρουν πολύτιμες πληροφορίες για την αρχιτεκτονική και οικονομική οργάνωση των προϊστορικών οικισμών. Η θέση σήμερα απέχει 3 χιλ. από την ακτογραμμή, ωστόσο την 5η χιλιετία π.Χ. η θάλασσα βρισκόταν σε απόσταση μόλις ενός χιλιομέτρου. Ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό χαρακτηριστικό του Διμηνίου αποτελεί η συνέχεια της κατοίκησης από τη Νεότερη Νεολιθική έως το τέλος της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού, γεγονός που αποδεικνύει ότι η πρόσβαση σε πεδινές εκτάσεις κατάλληλες για γεωργική καλλιέργεια και κτηνοτροφία, καθώς και στις θαλάσσιες οδούς του κεντρικού Αιγαίου αποτελούσαν τις κύριες προϋποθέσεις για την αδιάκοπη κατοίκηση των προϊστορικών θέσεων.

History of Greece
The history of Greece encompasses the history of the territory of the modern state of Greece, as well as that of the Greek people and the areas they ruled historically. The scope of Greek habitation and rule has varied much through the ages, and, as a result, the history of Greece is similarly elastic in what it includes. Each era has its own related sphere of interest.
The first (proto-) Greek-speaking tribes, are generally thought to have arrived in the Greek mainland between the late 3rd and the first half of the 2nd millennium BC – probably between 1900 and 1600 BC. When the Mycenaeans invaded, the area was inhabited by various non-Greek-speaking, indigenous pre-Greek people, who practiced agriculture as they had done since the 7th millennium BC.

Gorgon
In Greek mythology, a Gorgon (plural: Gorgons, Ancient Greek: Γοργών/Γοργώ Gorgon/Gorgo) is a female creature. The name derives from the same root as the Sanskrit word garğ which is defined as a guttural sound, similar to the growling of a beast, thus possibly originating as an onomatopoeia. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not, and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus.
Gorgons were a popular image in Greek mythology, appearing in the earliest of written records of Ancient Greek religious beliefs such as those of Homer, which may date to as early as 1194–1184 BC. Because of their legendary and powerful gaze that could turn one to stone, images of the Gorgons were put upon objects and buildings for protection. An image of a Gorgon holds the primary location at the pediment of the temple at Corfu, which is the oldest stone pediment in Greece, and is dated to c. 600 BC.

Magnisia - Thessaly - Greece
Magnesia was among the first areas in Greece to be inhabited. Archaeologists have brought to light mesolithic finds from the Sarakinos cave, neolithic settlements such as Dimini and Sesklo, as well as for- gotten Mycenaean cities that played an important role during the Bronze Age. All these discoveries prove that distinguished cities were found in the district around pre- sent day Volos and that they reached their peak during the Mycenaean era.
Among them there was the legendary Iolkos, capital of Mycenaean Thessaly and site of today's Volos. It was from here that the Argo set off with Jason and the Argonauts for the distant shores of the Black Sea in quest of the Golden Fleece. One result of this campaign was to strengthen the maritime empire of that region's bold inhabitands, the Minyans; the other was to broaden the naval horizons of the period.
Homer also mentions the participation of Iolkos in the Trojan War, along with the other Magnesian cities, among which is listed Phthia, the birthplace of Achilles. After the Mycenean era, the cities of Magnesia began to decline and by the 4th century BC, the province was just an insignificant province of Macedonia. During the course of Greek history, however, certain cities linked by a common characteristic -their proximity to the Pagasitic gulf- restored a measure of its gold glory to the region. For example, one can cite Pagases, which flourished particularly during the 5th century BC; Dimitrias, founded in the 3rd century BC; Phthiotic Thebes, an important city during the early Christian era; and Almiros, a powerful commercial centre of the 12th century.
The Turkish occupation of Magnesia was unusual in that it did not extend into the eastern, inaccessible portion of Pelion; as a result, the coastal towns were abandoned in favour of the remote mountain villages there, which acquired a special cultural and economic lustre, becoming at the same time a bastion for the teachers and fighters of the Greek nation. In the revolution of 1821 for which those people helped prepare, the flag of rebellion waved over Milies. In 1881 according to the Treaty of Berlin, Magnesia, along with Thessaly, was incorporated into the free Greek state to become one of the most vital areas in the country, combining natural beauty, economic, and cultural development.

Neolithic Europe is the period when Neolithic technology was present in Europe, roughly between 7000 BCE (the approximate time of the first farming societies in Greece) and c. 1700 BCE (the beginning of the Bronze Age in northwest Europe). The Neolithic overlaps the Mesolithic and Bronze Age periods in Europe as cultural changes moved from the southeast to northwest at about 1 km/year - this is called Neolithic Expansion.
The duration of the Neolithic varies from place to place, its end marked by the introduction of bronze implements: in southeast Europe it is approximately 4,000 years (i.e. 7000 BCE–3000 BCE) while in Northwest Europe it is just under 3,000 years (c. 4500 BCE–1700 BCE).
Regardless of specific chronology, many European Neolithic groups share basic characteristics, such as living in small-scale, family-based communities, subsisting on domesticated plants and animals supplemented with the collection of wild plant foods and with hunting, and producing hand-made pottery, that is, pottery made without the potter's wheel. Polished stone axes lie at the heart of the neolithic (new stone) culture, enabling forest clearance for agriculture and production of wood for dwellings, as well as fuel.
There are also many differences, with some Neolithic communities in southeastern Europe living in heavily fortified settlements of 3,000-4,000 people (e.g., Sesklo in Greece) whereas Neolithic groups in Britain were small (possibly 50-100 people) and highly mobile cattle-herders.
The details of the origin, chronology, social organization, subsistence practices and ideology of the peoples of Neolithic Europe are obtained from archaeology, and not historical records, since these people left none. Since the 1970s, population genetics has provided independent data on the population history of Neolithic Europe, including migration events and genetic relationships with peoples in South Asia.
A further independent tool, linguistics, has contributed hypothetical reconstructions of early European languages and family trees with estimates of dating of splits, in particular theories on the relationship between speakers of Indo-European languages and Neolithic peoples. Some archaeologists believe that the expansion of Neolithic peoples from southwest Asia into Europe, marking the eclipse of Mesolithic culture, coincided with the introduction of Indo-European speakers, whereas other archaeologists and many linguists believe the Indo-European languages were introduced from the Pontic-Caspian steppe during the succeeding Bronze Age.
Archaeologists agree that the technologies associated with agriculture originated in the Levant/Near East and then spread into Europe. However, debate exists whether this resulted from an active migratory process from the Near East, or merely due to cultural contact and trade between Europeans and Near Easterners. Currently, three models summarize the proposed pattern of spread:
1. Replacement model: posits that there was a significant migration of farmers from the Fertile Crescent into Europe. Given their technological advantages, they would have displaced or absorbed the less numerous hunter-gathering populace. Thus, modern Europeans are primarily descended from these Neolithic farmers.
2. Cultural diffusion: in contrast, this model supposes that agriculture reached Europe by way of a flow of ideas and trade between the Mesolithic European population and Anatolian farmers. There was no net increase in migration during this process, and therefore, modern Europeans are descended from the original Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers.
3. Pioneer model: recognises that models 1) and 2) above may represent false dichotomies. This model postulates that there was an initial, small scale migration of farmers from the Near East to certain regions of Europe. They might have enjoyed localized demographic expansions due to social advantages. The subsequent spread of farming technologies throughout the rest of Europe was then carried out by Mesolithic Europeans who acquired new skill through trade and cultural interaction.
