Cyclades
The CYCLADES computer network () was a French research network created in the early 1970s. It was one of the pioneering networks experimenting with the concept of packet switching and, unlike the ARPANET, was explicitly designed to facilitate internetworking. The CYCLADES network was the first to make the hosts responsible for the reliable delivery of data, rather than this being a centralized service of the network itself. Datagrams were exchanged on the network using transport protocols that do not guarantee reliable delivery, but only attempt best-effort. To empower the network leaves the hosts to perform error-correction, the network ensured end-to-end protocol transparency, a concept later to be known as the end-to-end principle. This simplified network design, reduced network latency, and reduced the opportunities for single point failures. The experience with these concepts led to the design of key features of the Internet Protocol in the ARPANET project. The network ...

Kythnos
Kythnos (, ), commonly called Thermia (), is a Greek island and Communities and Municipalities of Greece, municipality in the Western Cyclades between Kea (island), Kea and Serifos. It is from the Athenian harbor of Piraeus. The municipality Kythnos is in area and has a coastline of about . Mount Kakovolo is island's highest peak (365m). Settlements The island has two significant settlements, the village of Messaria or Chora, Kythnos, Chora of Kythnos (pop. 561 in 2011 census), known locally as ''Chora'', and the village of Dryopis or Dryopida (pop. 325), also known as ''Chorio''. Both villages are notable for their winding and often stepped streets, too narrow for vehicular traffic. The villages are very picturesque but have different architectural styles. Chora has the more-typical flat roofs of the Cyclades, while Dryopida's rooftops are slanted and tiled. Chora is also notable for its large Eastern Orthodox Church, Greek Orthodox Church (building), Church. There is also a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Korissia, Kea
Coressia or Korissia (), also spelt Coresia or Koresia (Κορησία), also known as Coressus and Arsinoe (Ἀρσινόη), was a town of Ceos, and functioned as the harbour of Iulis. Near it was a temple of Apollo Smintheus, and the small stream Elixus flowed by it into the sea. There are a very few remains of the town on the heights upon the west side of the bay. The harbour is large and commodious. The site of Coressia is located near modern Livadi, which was renamed to Korisia in 1922.

Ioulis
Ioulis or Ioulida (; ), locally called Chora or Hora () like the main towns of most Greek islands, and sometimes known by the island name of Kea or Keos (or earlier Zea), is the capital of the island of Kea in the Cyclades. It has a population of 1,225 inhabitants according to the 2021 Greek census. Modern town The Ioulida of today, while popular with both tourists and middle-class Athenians, is relatively unspoiled in that cars must be left at the entrance of the town, and "life is pretty much the way it has always been." As in Korissia, "the architectural style is not like the typical Cycladic. The heart of Chora is the square with the grand city hall." Ancient town The ancient city (also called Iulis) was celebrated as the birthplace of Simonides, Bacchylides, Prodicus, Erasistratus, and Aristo; it was said to have been built by "Eupylos the son of Chryso the demi-goddess." It led a revolt against Athens in 364/3 BC; an Athenian decree has been preserved imposing a fine an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dryopida
Dryopida () is a village and a community in Kythnos island, Greece. It most likely got its name from the first residents of the island, the Dryopes. It is declared as a traditional settlement because of its architecture. The community has an estimated 854 inhabitants, according to the 2021 census. General Information Dryopida is located on the Southern part of the island, at an approximate distance of 7 kilometers from Chora. It is built between two hills at an elevation of 190 meters. The main characteristic of this community are the tiled ceramic roofs, which can be mainly traced back to the occupation of its inhabitants, tilers and roofers in Athens who brought back the custom of roofing to their place of birth. Administratively Dryopida was part of the province of Kea but in 1997, as part of the Kapodistrias Plan administrative reform it became part of the municipality of Kythnos and remained there after the implementation of the Kallikratis Plan which reorganiz ...

Palaiopoli, Andros
Palaiopoli (Greek: Παλαιόπολη 'old city') is an ancient city on the west coast of Andros in the Cyclades Islands, Greece, and was the capital of Andros, during the Classical period. From the archaic to the first Byzantine period, the center of the island's activities is traced to the area of Paleopolis, which is found on the west side of the island, at a distance of 5 kilometers from Ipsili and 10 kilometers from Zagora. The ceramic findings, which were gathered from the area, are dated back to the Mycenean period, though some areas show signs of inhabitation during the Geometric period. Important findings of the area, the ''Kore of Copenhagen'', a kouros, and a statue group of Pegasus and Bellerophon, which date back to the 6th century BC, show that the city was prosperous during the Archaic period. Construction in the area, according to the most recent findings, began during the beginning of the 5th century BC and continued through the old Christian times. The a ...
