Visit Macedonia - Kavala
Visit Macedonia - Kavala
Macedonia today is a geographical region of Greece, and the largest of the Greek territory.
It constitutes most of the geographic and historical region of ancient Macedon, a Greek kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II.
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the Hellenistic period.
The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The city was founded by settlers from Thassos about at the end of the 7th century BC, who called it Neapolis (Νεάπολις; new city in Greek). It was one of the colonies that the Thassians founded in the coastline, in order to take advantage of the rich gold and silver mines of the territory, especially the ones that were located to the nearby Pangaion mountain (which were eventually exploited by Phillip the Second of Macedonia).
The worship of Parthenos, a female hellenised deity of the thracian goddess Vendis is archaeologically attested in the archaic period. At the end of the 6th century BC Neapolis claimed its independence from Thassos and cut its own silver coins with the head of Gorgo (γοργὀνειο) at the one side as a symbol. At the beginning of the 5th century BC a large ionic temple from thassian marble replaced the archaic one. Parts of it can now be seen in the archaeological museum of Kavala.
In 411 BC, during the Peloponnesian War, Neapolis was sieged by the allied armies of the Spartans and the Thassians, but remained faithful to Athens. Two athenian honorary decrees in 410 and 407 BC rewarded Neapolis for its loyalty.
Neapolis was a town of Macedonia, and the harbor of Philippi, from which it was distant 14 km. Neapolis was a member of the Athenian League, as a pillar found in Athens mentions a contribution of Neapolis to the alliance.

March 25th Independence Day - Nea Peramos
The Greek National Anniversary and a major religious holiday with military parades in the larger towns and cities.This celebrates Greece's victory in the war of Independence against the Turks who had occupied the country for 400 years. The 25th of March was actually the day Bishop Germanos of Patras raised the flag of national rebellion at the monastery of Agia Lavra in the northern Peleponisos. For Greece, the 25th of March is the equivalent to the 4th of July to Americans. The Greeks celebrate this day with marches and celebrations throughout the country. Consequently, the Acropolis and all other archaeological sites and all museums are closed on this day. You are supposed to eat fried bakaliaro (cod) and skordalia (garlic sauce) today. Don't ask me why. I just do it.

Mystery of incredibly ornate 2,600-year-old bronze Greek warrior helmet found on seabed.
Mystery of incredibly ornate 2,600-year-old bronze Greek warrior helmet found on seabed.
Amazing object found in Israel's Haifa harbour
Covered in detailed animal ornamentation
Could have been worn by a warrior in the Persian Wars
By Ted Thornhill
A bronze Greek warrior helmet dating back to the 6th or 5th century BC has been discovered on the seabed in Haifa Harbour, Israel -- but the owner remains a complete mystery.
Jacob Sharvit, director of the Marine Archaeology Unit with the Israel Antiquities Authority, said: 'The gilding and figural ornaments make this one of the most ornate pieces of early Greek armour discovered.'
However, how it ended up on the seabed and who it belonged to remains unknown. One theory is that it belonged to a warrior stationed on one of the warships of the Greek fleet that fought the Persians, who ruled the country at the time.
This technique made it possible to reduce the weight of the helmet without diminishing its capacity to protect the head of the warrior.
The front of the helmet -- the nose and cheek guards -- is thicker than its back.
The front, above the nose guard and the forehead, is adorned with an engraved and hammered decoration of a peacock's tail and snakes are incised above the eye slits.
The cheek guards are decorated with a pattern of lions, one on the right side and one on the left.
The helmet was probably that of a mercenary who was aboard a ship that traded with the nearby coastal settlement at Tell Abu Hawam, near the outlet of Nahal Kishon.
In excavations that were conducted at Tell Abu Hawam in 1932 to 1933 pottery vessels were found had been imported from Corinth.
In the excavations that were carried out there in recent years, on behalf of the University of Haifa and the Antiquities Authority, archaeological strata of a well-planned city were exposed which yielded a large quantity of Greek vessels.
It is unclear how the helmet ended up at the bottom of the harbour -- the most obvious explanation would be that it was simply dropped in to the ocean by its clumsy owner.
Another suggestion is that the ship the warrior was travelling on sank, and archaeologists plan to search the area to see if there is any more evidence of a shipwreck.
Results of the find were presented to the Archaeological Institute of America last month, while the helmet is now on display at the National Maritime Museum in Haifa.
