Asos (Greek: Άσος) is a village on the west coast of the island of Cephalonia, Greece and is located 36km north of Argostoli. It is part of the municipal unit Erisos. Asos was founded under Venetian rule and it served as the administrative capital of northern Cephalonia from 1593 onwards. Marino Gentilini, an Italian army engineer, was commissioned by the Venetian Senate in 1593-1595 to build the Assos Castle, one of the largest in Greece. The castle was initially built with the view that it would protect local populations in case of an invading attack by passing Turks or pirates, but for various reasons, such as the lack of natural springs for water supply, it was never adopted as a fortre…

Evidence: 39 • authority: 72

The Ionian Islands (Modern Greek: Ιόνια νησιά, Ionia nisia; Ancient Greek, Katharevousa: Ἰόνιαι Νῆσοι, Ioniai Nēsoi) are a group of islands in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece. They are traditionally called the Heptanese ("Seven Islands"; Ἑπτάνησα, Heptanēsa or Ἑπτάνησος, Heptanēsos; Italian: Eptaneso), but the group includes many smaller islands in addition to the seven principal ones. As a distinct historic region, the collective of islands dates to the centuries-long Venetian rule, which kept them outside Ottoman control, and created a distinct cultural identity with many Italian influences. The Ionian Islands became part of the modern Greek state in 1864. Administratively today,…

Uplifted marine terraces of Cephalonia island, Western Greece. Insights into the late Quaternary geomorphic evolution of the area.. <p>Uplifted marine terraces act as a continuous record of eustatic changes in tectonically active coastal areas and can provide significant insight into their late Quaternary geomorphic evolution. Cephalonia island, located at the north-west edge of the Hellenic Arc, is a tectonically and seismically highly active area in the Ionian Sea, western Greece, where collision, subduction and transformation take place in a relatively small region. Pleistocene eustatic sea level fluctuations and the long-term vertical movements of the island, have left their imprint on…
