Hello!*This episode was first released on April 10th 2024*Deep in a mountain in the Pontic Alps, North-East Turkey, there's a monastery reminiscent of Tolkien's Minas Tirith; the seven-walled fortress city built on the spur of a mountain. Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) and facing a beautiful wooded mountain valley is Panayia Soumela Greek Orthodox monastery, dedicated to Virgin Mary. This is the heartland of the Pontic Greeks. And my journey today begun from a church with the same name, near my home town of Veria, in Northern Greece, 1800 Km away from Trabzon, deep in a forested mountain on a similar altitude...The Pontic Greeks lived in the region of northern Turkey roughly in the areas of Trabzon, Samsun and Gerishun, Sinop for about 2 millennia before their forced expulsion and genocide.But their food and culture remains still alive luckily for us, and even their unique Greek language which traces its lineage to ancient Greek!So what did they eat? How they cooked their foods? And how does their cuisine differ from other Greeks, and the similarities with other Black Sea nations around...Some spectacular videos of Panagia Soumela Monastery and countryside in Trabzon region mountains:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQb3UJVvbmMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynLcqCxCh0sFor traditional Pontic produce in Greece today go to Thessaloniki and find this guy:http://ragian.gr/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4Google map link for the Thessaloniki shop:https://maps.app.goo.gl/QJGjFiEBW4YN7W369The farm were they age cheeses in caves, smoke their own meats and produce their pasta:https://maps.app.goo.gl/yVQHg9HVdGDcEyWdAMore information about history and culture of Pontic Greeks:https://pontosworld.com/index.phpAnd the Guardian article that inspired me to do this episode today:https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/apr/03/endangered-greek-dialect-living-bridge-ancient-world-romeykaWith music from Pavlos KapralosEnjoy!Support the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Spent the first half of the show on other topics, including some RV stuff, and then talked a bit about Cardinal Bellarmine and forms of argumentation, but the main topic today was Emperor Theodosius, the proclamation of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire, and the incident between he and Ambrose of Milan regarding the massacre at Thessaloniki.

The Apostle Paul is encouraging the young Christians at Thessaloniki as they face opposition and even persecution for their faith. Through this encouragement he makes some profound statements of truth about the message he has been preaching when he was among them. He declares that the gospel is not something put together by men or based on worldly philosophy but rather the actual voice of God. This simple, yet profound statement is a challenge to every one of us as we must ask ourselves how we see the Bible; is it a "good book" or is it "God's Book"? If it is the very voice of our creator speaking, then that changes everything about how we think, live and act. The Bible is the best selling book of all time, but it is also the most banned book of all time - why? It is also the most dangerous book of all time - listen in to discover why.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two encounters that share one unsettling thread: whatever was there… was already aware.Eleni was a student nurse in a hospital outside Thessaloniki. Sent to check on two elderly patients in a section of the ward no one spoke about, she noticed an indentation between their beds, as though a third body had settled there. Then one patient turned, reached into the gap… and her fingers stopped mid-air. By morning, she had passed. When Eleni returned days later, there were three beds where there had been two. No one questioned it.Then, Leanne stepped outside her North Yorkshire home one summer evening and noticed a light hovering at the edge of her property. Then a second. Then a third. When she spoke aloud without thinking, one of them snapped sideways. They had heard her. Local folklore says the same thing: never speak to the watch lights. Because once they know you can see them… they look back.Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and digs into the folklore behind both. From Greek psychopomps and guided death, to ancient accounts of lights that react to human awareness.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Folge 199: Was passiert, wenn ein Skater griechische Wurzeln, einen Sommelier-Titel und ein 1934er Fahrkartenhäuschen mitten in Düsseldorf bekommt? Antwort: 750 Weine, Pommes mit Forellenkaviar und Hip-Hop-Beats statt Bouzouki.In Folge 199 quetschen sich Carsten Henn und Bernd „Buddy" Zipper in das vielleicht kleinste Sommelier-Büro der Welt – einen ehemaligen Kartenverkaufsschalter am Graf-Adolf-Platz – und treffen Toni Askitis: Gastronom in vierter Generation, diplomierter Betriebswirt, Vinum-Weinpersönlichkeit, Traubenadler-Träger und Mann hinter „Pommes und Wein". Ein Konzept, das auf den ersten Blick nach Imbiss klingt und auf den zweiten nach Weltklasse-Weinkarte mit drei Lagern voller Flaschen, von denen eines so geheim ist, dass selbst Buddy es vermutlich nicht riechen würde.Es geht um Xinomavro vom Olymp und einen Ur-Ur-Opa, der in Askese auf dem Berg Fässer baute. Um Apostolos Thymiopoulos, der seine leeren Fässer „erstmal alle voll macht". Um die Frage, warum es hier weder Aperol Spritz noch Grauburgunder noch Lugana gibt – aber einen 89er Mosel-Auslese im Glas für 10 €. Und um Tonis Mission, Wein zu entkomplizieren, ohne ihn zu verramschen.Dazu: Restaurant-Tipps für Thessaloniki, eine kleine Liebeserklärung an Freddy Gibbs und Madlib, die These, dass Sauvignon Blanc parfümierte Scheiße sein kann (muss aber nicht – Steiermark grüßt), und ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für autochthone Rebsorten statt dem hundertsten Cabernet aus Griechenland.Plus: Buddy verwechselt eine Sekte mit einer Bäckerei, Carsten erinnert sich an seinen erotischen Debüt-Roman, der nie wieder das Licht der Welt erblicken wird, und die Frage aller Fragen wird beantwortet – kann man eine Bierflasche mit dem Fuß eines Weinglases sabrieren? (Kann man. Toni macht es zur Disziplin.) Eine Folge wie ein gut gekühlter Xinomavro: laut, fruchtig, unerwartet tiefgründig – und mit ordentlich Grip im Abgang.#SoulFoodPassionistas #PommesUndWein #Sommelier #Düsseldorf #Wein #Xinomavro #Hospitality #HipHopMeetsWine #Genuss #Foodpodcast #Weintrinker #GriechischerWein #Mosel #AskToni #AutochthoneRebsorten#SOULFOOD # SOULFOODPASSIONISTAS # CARSTENHENN #GASTROSURIVIAL  #BUDDYZIPPER #GASTROPODCAST #KULINARIK #STERNEKUECHE  #KOCHGOTT #gastrosurivial #sterneküche #foodporn #foodlover #instafood #gastronomie #podcast @buddyzipper @carstenhenn @soulfoodpassionistas

Balkan-Roadtrip, West-Kanada durchqueren, die peruanischen Anden überstehen und ein Hausboot mit den besten Freunden teilen. Wir feiern die kommenden Reisemonate mit Tipps und Inspiration. Außerdem verneigen wir uns vor dem Konzert und der Serie des Jahres und sprechen darüber, wie dumm es ist, auf über 2000 Meter zu rauchen (Stichwort: Höhenkrankheit). Wir reisen nach Sarajevo, Montenegro, Belgrad, Vancouver Island und auf einsame Nordsee-Inseln - in die Nationalparks Banff und Jasper, fränkische Baumhäuser, bewohnbare Kirchen und bis nach Thessaloniki. Ein wilder Ritt, der auch ein bisschen Spaß macht. :)PS: Für alle, die uns geschrieben haben zwecks Tipps und Inspiration für den Reise-Sommer 2026: Es waren soooo viele, tolle Nachrichten, dass wir einige erst in den nächsten Weekender-Folgen beantworten werden. Wir haben euch nicht vergessen. DANKE!—

Une jeune femme exceptionnelle est l'invitée de Pierre-Édouard Deldique dans ce nouveau numéro d'Idées. Née en Albanie, professeure de théorie politique à la London School of Economics, Lea Ypi est en effet considérée comme une des figures montantes de la vie intellectuelle en Europe. Dans le magazine qui interroge celles et ceux qui pensent le monde, cette intellectuelle de haut-vol parle à la fois de son travail de philosophe, de ses cours au Collège de France et de son roman intitulé Indignité, publié chez Calmann-Levy. Ce roman est à la fois une enquête familiale, une traversée du XXe siècle dans les Balkans, une réflexion sur l'identité, et une méditation sur la dignité humaine face aux régimes politiques. Le livre s'ouvre sur la diffusion sur les réseaux sociaux, d'une photographie de 1941 montrant la grand‑mère de l'auteure, Léman, souriante en lune de miel dans les Dolomites, alors que l'Albanie subissait l'occupation fasciste. Cette image, devenue virale, a provoqué un flot d'accusations et de jugements moraux. À tel point que Lea Ypi a entrepris de comprendre qui était réellement cette grand-mère au caractère bien trempé. Le roman est à la fois une reconstitution de la vie de Léman (où l'imaginaire joue son rôle, souligne-t-elle dans l'émission) née en 1918 à Salonique, issue d'une famille albanaise de l'aristocratie ottomane. Sa vie traverse la chute de l'Empire ottoman, la monarchie du roi Zog, le fascisme, le nazisme, la dictature communiste d'Enver Hoxha, la transition post‑communiste. Quel parcours ! Sa vie reflète pour le moins les profondes transformations politiques qui ont façonné l'Europe du Sud‑Est. Cette véritable saga s'avère aussi une enquête dans les archives d'État, où Lea Ypi a découvert rapports d'informateurs, dossiers de surveillance et documents incomplets. Ces archives, politisées et parfois trompeuses, révèlent autant qu'elles dissimulent. Elles démontrent en tout cas à quel point la surveillance policière sévissait sous l'ère communiste. Le roman montre ainsi la difficulté de reconstruire une vérité historique, celle qui est au cœur de la réflexion de Lea Ypi, dans un pays où l'amnésie a longtemps prévalu. Le titre de cette belle histoire renvoie à un thème central : la dignité humaine comme valeur menacée par les systèmes politiques. Léman est tour à tour considérée comme aristocrate ottomane, suspecte sous le communisme, puis traîtresse supposée dans l'Albanie contemporaine.  « Elle personnifie la responsabilité morale », dit notre invitée ce dimanche. Selon elle, ce récit romancé évoque la responsabilité morale dans des situations exceptionnelles, où les choix individuels sont en quelque sorte dictés par la violence des faits historiques. Dans Indignité et au cours de ce numéro d'Idées, notre spécialiste de philosophie politique montre que la vérité historique est fragile. Ne se construit-elle pas entre documents, souvenirs et interprétations ? De plus, l'auteure s'interroge au micro : « qui a le droit de raconter une vie ? ». Cette question donne au roman une dimension philosophique. Dans son « autre vie » , Lea Ypi, spécialiste de Kant, mène une réflexion sur « l'idée de socialisme moral ». Elle la détaille dans une série de leçons au Collège de France que je vous recommande.   Voici la page de Lea Ypi au Collège de France si vous souhaitez écouter ses leçons dans le cadre de la chaire intitulée : « L'invention de l'Europe par la langue et la culture ». Programmation musicale :             - ‎‎Marinella  - Thessaloniki mou   - ‎‎Eli Fara - Sonat​ - ‎‎Gjurmët - Era.

Echonomist was born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece. He is an institution in Greece's electronic music scene, while quickly growing his international fan-base through releases on labels like Innervisions, Blue Shadow, Watergate, Multinotes, and more... At early age, Petros' family got him a basic synthesizer (GEM) and hired a music teacher to teach him traditional Greek music in order to entertain his family on Sundays. Much to his family's dismay, the plan didn't seem as interesting to Petros as creating weird sounds with his small harmonium and recording his first tracks. Soon, Petros finished his first downtempo album and formed his first music project called "IνΦο". Performing live with his band, consisting of live musicians and a vocalist, they covered a wide spectrum of electronic downtempo music, releasing 3 studio albums until 2009, gaining some considerable fame–mainly in the Greek electronic music scene. Always on the lookout for new sounds and music, he soon began to DJ, discovering the full range of electronic dance music. Petros had fallen under the spell of stateside artists and labels like Maurizio, Carl Craig, Black Dog, Underground Resistance, and Echocord–to name a few. At this point he started his own solo project Echonomist, releasing his first tracks on labels such as Resopal, Upon You Records, Time Has Changed, and Dessous Recordings. Today, more than ever, Echonomist is driven by his passion for musical creativity. He has evolved into a professional DJ, producer, and live performer. While his style may vary somewhere between underground Tech House and Techno, he never compromises on quality. A fact that found him a place amongst the most prolific producers worldwide. His elaborate live performances have been met with international acclaim. As a DJ, Echonomist brings the same qualities to the table. Comfortably combining music from a wide range, Petros is a dynamic and interactive DJ who blends rolling basslines, harmonic synths, and energetic percussions to craft an infectious and atmospheric sound. It's all about devotion to the sound and a restless quest for the groove that will make everyone move.

People often forget just how significant the wine industry is in Europe. Across the EU there are about 2.2 million wine‑growing farms looking after roughly 3.2 million hectares of vines, and every year those vineyards turn out something like 150 million hectolitres of wine, that's around 20 billion bottles a year.But growers are getting squeezed in two directions: more unstable harvests, and weaker demand. When a bottle is poured, it isn't just a drink on the table. It's part of a sector that keeps villages alive and brings billions into the economy.So, what can we do to help the situation? Our three guests, all of whom have received support from the EU's research and innovation funding programme, have some intriguing ideas.Filipe Neves dos Santos develops autonomous robots and machinery, which can operatesafely on steep slopes, for the agricultural and forestry sectors. He works at the Centre forRobotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems, INESC TEC,in Portugal.Zoe Doulgeri is professor of Robotics and Control of Manufacturing Systems at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Her current research interests include learning and control of unimanual and bimanual robotic object manipulation.Gustavo Pérez González is a senior project manager at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He specialises in analytical chemistry, specifically to develop secure, traceable and immutable solutions for wine authentication.

When you look at the Apostle Paul's initial visit to Macedonia on his Second Missionary Journey it might be easy to label his efforts a failure. He was whipped, beaten and jailed in his first town Philippi. He was forced into hiding and snuck out of town in the middle of the night in Thessaloniki. He had to flee Berea in front of another angry mob and ended up in Athens. Might seem like a failed effort, but Paul address's this "failure" in his 1st letter to the Church at Thessaloniki and puts his efforts in spiritual terms. This gives us a springboard to discuss success and failure in our culture and how seeming failure can actually be the path to great success. We also look at how our past failures can hinder our ability to be obedient to God.

VOV1 - Mới đây, hàng nghìn người dân Hy Lạp đã xuống đường tham gia vào các cuộc biểu tình trên khắp đất nước để phản đối cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông trong bối cảnh cuộc xung đột này đã bước sang tháng thứ hai.Các cuộc biểu tình được tổ chức bởi nhiều nhóm khác nhau, bao gồm các đảng phái chính trị cánh tả, hiệp hội sinh viên, công đoàn, các tổ chức cộng đồng người di cư và tổ chức phi chính phủ. Hoạt động biểu tình không chỉ diễn ra tại thủ đô Athens của Hy Lạp mà còn lan rộng đến nhiều thành phố lớn khác như Thessaloniki, Patras và Heraklion. Tại Athens, người biểu tình tập trung bên ngoài tòa nhà Quốc hội, sau đó tuần hành qua các con phố trung tâm và đến Đại sứ quán Mỹ.Những người biểu tình kêu gọi chấm dứt ngay lập tức cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông, đồng thời kêu gọi Chính phủ Hy Lạp không tham gia vào cuộc xung đột, ưu tiên chi tiêu công cho y tế và giáo dục thay vì tăng ngân sách quốc phòng.Theo những người tham gia biểu tình, các cuộc biểu tình nhằm gửi đi thông điệp phản đối cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông, cũng như các sáng kiến của Liên minh châu Âu khiến tình hình xung đột leo thang. Hoạt động này cũng nhằm đảm bảo các thế hệ tương lai sẽ không phải gánh chịu hậu quả nặng nề từ những xung đột hiện tại.Các cuộc biểu tình tại Hy Lạp diễn ra trong bối cảnh cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông kéo dài hơn một tháng qua đã gây thiệt hại nghiêm trọng cho các bên tham gia. Theo ước tính, hơn 1.900 người Iran đã thiệt mạng và hơn 24.800 người bị thương. Phía Mỹ và Israel cũng ghi nhận ít nhất 19 binh sĩ Israel cùng 13 binh sĩ Mỹ hy sinh. Cuộc xung đột cũng đã đẩy giá dầu tăng cao, gây bất ổn thị trường năng lượng quốc tế và áp lực lên nền kinh tế toàn cầu./.Như Hoa/ VOV SÉCẢnh minh họa - Theo Reuters.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Thessoloniki Greece, Part 2 of 2.  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I recently returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences.  This episode covers driving and navigating at the same time, Thessoloniki, Greece, and my mistakes of not hydrating enough in Greece. The FAQ is: "I need help finding my way while driving." What advice can you provide me as I try to navigate while I drive? Answer: Here are three driving safety tips you can use right away. Mount your phone securely at eye level Use a dashboard or windshield mount to reduce the number of glances away from the road. Avoid holding your phone in your hand — it's both unsafe and illegal in many places. Reduce windshield glare Clean your windshield (inside and out) and dim your dashboard lights slightly. This helps your eyes adjust better to the darkness outside. Enable "Do Not Disturb While Driving" Stops texts or notifications from popping up on your screen, reducing distractions.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today  Confidence Challenge in navigation and driving If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to manage driving while navigating and on-the-go traveling as a solo woman, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. . You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern..  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Thessaloniki, Greece Part 2 of 2    Fire, Faith, Markets, and Movement   Friday morning, I took the metro to the end of the line. It stopped. I went back. Stopped again in Fleming. Eventually, I  reached the sea. The bus systems don't work all of the time, One time I waited a long time and the driver never came back. but the subways were great. They were new and very clean. What did I discover? I took some walks and here's what I found:  Rowing clubs. Children learning to sail. No swimming.  Greek dancing is communal. Simple patterns. Everyone joins. I'll share more about that in my mistakes. Are you willing to look awkward for joy?     Roman Forum & Aristotle Square Near my hostel, Zeus is Loose, sits the Roman Forum — excavated layers of ancient civic life. Agora. Theatre. Public debate. Aristotle Square is today's meeting place — wide, open, social. This is the social heart of Thessaloniki. Wide, open, facing the sea — it's where: Locals meet friends Travelers people-watch Evening strolls begin Grab a coffee, sit under the arcades, and observe. In Greece, public life is not rushed. If you expect efficiency, you'll be frustrated. If you expect rhythm, you'll enjoy it.   But the city remembers trauma. Wooden homes burned, and with them a large portion of the Jewish quarter. In 1942, Jewish residents were deported to concentration camps, including Auschwitz. A once-thriving community was nearly erased. Ano Poli survived the Great Fire of 1917, so you'll see: Red-roofed traditional houses Ottoman-era architecture Stone city walls with sweeping views Climb in the late afternoon when it's cooler. The hills are real. Wear solid shoes.   Kapani Market,  once near a synagogue, is now a bustling local market. Locals shop here.  The White Tower sits right on the waterfront promenade and offers: A small museum inside with Thessaloniki's layered history An 8-story climb (slow and steady wins) 360-degree views over the sea and city If you only have one hour in town, this is the postcard moment. Go earlier in the day in summer — the heat builds quickly. History isn't distant here. It's layered under your feet. Thessaloniki is not flashy like Santorini. It is thoughtful. Complicated. Weathered. Here's what you need to know: Expect slow pacing — culturally and logistically. Sunday closures are normal. Nightlife starts late. English is spoken in tourism, but not everywhere. History here is heavy — especially Jewish history. Stay flexible. Plans will shift. My missteps: Travel Mistakes in Greece: I was afraid to let loose and dance.   Our tour ended at the seashore. I was asked to join the dance. I waited almost until the music ended to dance. I should have started from the beginning and had a great time. Don't miss out on dancing, even if you are afraid to look silly.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

In this introduction to our new sermon series from 1st and 2nd Thessalonians we look at the context of the Apostle Paul's visit to Thessaloniki from Acts 17 and how that relates to the letter. As one of the oldest books in the New Testament, and Paul's first letter to any church, we can see the building pattern and themes that will be prevalent in all of his letters. As he encourages and commends the church in his introduction, he also lays out the motivating factors for all Christians and churches on the importance of personal spiritual growth, serving others through ministry, and enduring and persevering when times get difficult. From 1st Thessalonians 1:1-3.  Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

On the Edge: Endbands in the Bookbinding Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean by Dr Giorgios Boudalis (Legacy Press, 2022). The term endbands designates the two bands worked with thread(s) at the head and tail edges of the spine of a book. The techniques with which they are worked and the ways with which they are connected to a bound codex vary greatly over time and geography. The purpose of this book is to identify, classify and describe several of these different techniques used in manuscript books bound within different cultures in the Eastern Mediterranean from Late Antiquity until the 20th century. The book is richly illustrated with full-colour photographs and technical drawings explaining how these endbands were made and how they can be replicated. The guest on the podcast was Dr Giorgios Boudalis. Dr Boudalis studied conservation of art in Florence and Athens, and Fine Arts in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he lives. In 2005 he completed his Ph.D. at the University of the Arts, London, on the evolution of Byzantine and post-Byzantine bookbinding, and he has since been researching and publishing on the topics of bookbinding history and manuscript conservation. Since 1997 he has been working in book conservation for public and private institutions and collections. His research focuses on the study of the manuscript book in the Eastern Mediterranean using physical, written and iconographical evidence, and he is especially interested in the making of the codex and its relation to other crafts and artefacts. Since 2006 he has been teaching courses on various aspects of Eastern Mediterranean bookbinding structures both on an historical and technical level. He is a co-editor of the Language of Bindings Thesaurus of the Ligatus Research Centre, and he was a visiting scholar and an adjunct professor at Bard Graduate Center in New York where in 2018 he curated the exhibition, The Codex and Crafts in Late Antiquity, and published a book with the same title. Lauren Fonto is a Master's student in the program Heritage and Cultural Sciences: Heritage Conservation at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Her current research focuses on cleaning gilded wooden frames using gels. Learn more about your ad choices.

“To Dimografikó”- das demographische Problem- beschäftigt die griechische Bevölkerung und Politik. Die Griechinnen bekommen immer weniger Kinder, die Bevölkerung geht rasant zurück. Gleichzeitig verlassen junge Menschen die Dörfer; zurück bleiben oft nur noch die Älteren. Die Geburtenrate in Griechenland sinkt seit Jahrzehnten: mit 1,3 Kindern pro Frau ist sie eine der tiefsten Europas. Doch seit 2011 gibt es in Griechenland mehr Todesfälle als Geburten. Das ist auch in anderen europäischen Ländern der Fall, auch in der Schweiz. Trotzdem wächst hierzulande die Bevölkerung - dank der Einwanderung. In Griechenland aber wandern mehr Menschen aus als ein: Hunderttausende sind allein in den Jahren der griechischen Finanzkrise weggezogen, darunter viele Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter. Hinzu kommt: Die griechische Bevölkerung ist ungleichmäßig im Land verteilt. Die Hälfte der Griechinnen und Griechen wohnt im Großraum Athen und Thessaloniki. In den Dörfern hingegen gibt es weder Jobs noch die nötige Infrastruktur für Familien mit Kindern. Die konservative griechische Regierung will nun das demographische Problem anpacken: Ein 20-Milliarden schweres Maßnahmenpaket soll dazu führen, dass griechische Paare wieder mehr Kinder bekommen. Und sie gibt Anreize, damit Griechinnen und Griechen aus den Städten in die Dörfer ziehen. Doch anders als in China beispielsweise sind die Massnahmen der Regierung sanft. Können sie die Wiege Europas vor dem Aussterben retten? SRF International: Geburtenrückgang in China:

On the Edge: Endbands in the Bookbinding Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean by Dr Giorgios Boudalis (Legacy Press, 2022). The term endbands designates the two bands worked with thread(s) at the head and tail edges of the spine of a book. The techniques with which they are worked and the ways with which they are connected to a bound codex vary greatly over time and geography. The purpose of this book is to identify, classify and describe several of these different techniques used in manuscript books bound within different cultures in the Eastern Mediterranean from Late Antiquity until the 20th century. The book is richly illustrated with full-colour photographs and technical drawings explaining how these endbands were made and how they can be replicated. The guest on the podcast was Dr Giorgios Boudalis. Dr Boudalis studied conservation of art in Florence and Athens, and Fine Arts in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he lives. In 2005 he completed his Ph.D. at the University of the Arts, London, on the evolution of Byzantine and post-Byzantine bookbinding, and he has since been researching and publishing on the topics of bookbinding history and manuscript conservation. Since 1997 he has been working in book conservation for public and private institutions and collections. His research focuses on the study of the manuscript book in the Eastern Mediterranean using physical, written and iconographical evidence, and he is especially interested in the making of the codex and its relation to other crafts and artefacts. Since 2006 he has been teaching courses on various aspects of Eastern Mediterranean bookbinding structures both on an historical and technical level. He is a co-editor of the Language of Bindings Thesaurus of the Ligatus Research Centre, and he was a visiting scholar and an adjunct professor at Bard Graduate Center in New York where in 2018 he curated the exhibition, The Codex and Crafts in Late Antiquity, and published a book with the same title. Lauren Fonto is a Master's student in the program Heritage and Cultural Sciences: Heritage Conservation at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Her current research focuses on cleaning gilded wooden frames using gels. Learn more about your ad choices.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1 Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences for world peace. Here is an FAQ about plane or train travel, Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1, and also about a health issue you don't want when you travel. Give a listen. I guide you to solo travel experiences to bring out your best. The FAQ is: If you could take a plane or a train, which would it be and why? Answer:  If I have the choice between a plane and a train, Most of the time… I choose the train. Now let's be practical. If the distance is extreme — say, cross-country or intercontinental — the plane wins on efficiency. At this stage of life, I value my energy. Six hours in the air may beat twenty hours of transfers. But when are both realistic options? Train. Here's why. First, the train allows me to arrive gently. There's no stripping down at security, no liquid anxiety, no rushing to a distant gate. I walk onto the train. I keep my water. I keep my dignity. That matters. Second, the scenery. At 50+, we understand that the journey is not separate from the destination. On a train, I see villages, farmland, people waiting on platforms, laundry on balconies. I watch life unfold. A plane gives me clouds. Third, ease of movement. I can stand up. Walk. Stretch. Visit the café car. Talk to someone if I choose — or not. For solo women, that flexibility feels empowering. Fourth, arrival point. Trains typically drop you in the center of town. Planes drop you 40 minutes away, followed by taxis, shuttles, and more logistics. Simplicity wins. Now — here's where I get skeptical of my own bias. If I'm exhausted… If connections are complicated… If safety or night travel becomes a concern…Going from Oslo to Bergen this past summer, we had a 7-hour delay, stranded in Voss due to the heated tracks. That was not unusual, I later learned. Side note: I did enjoy my time in Voss and learned to slow down. If I anticipate a delay like this, I will absolutely take the plane. Comfort and safety override romance. So my answer? If time is short and distance is long,,,,, fly. If time is flexible and distance is reasonable, take the train and let the world move past your window. At this stage of life, we're not just getting somewhere. We're experiencing how we get there. And that is the difference.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today  Confidence Challenge in Greece and on trains. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into train travel while walking through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign-language communication tips. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern..  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Thessaloniki, Greece Part 1 of 2   Greece: my bucket list trip: Arrival, Ancient Echoes, and Modern Reality Welcome to my planned Step 5 travel — the kind where you don't just visit a place… you live inside it. This week and next week, I'm taking you to Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city — layered with Roman ruins, Byzantine churches, Jewish history, and modern-day contradictions.    

“To Dimografikó”- das demographische Problem- beschäftigt die griechische Bevölkerung und Politik. Die Griechinnen bekommen immer weniger Kinder, die Bevölkerung geht rasant zurück. Gleichzeitig verlassen junge Menschen die Dörfer; zurück bleiben oft nur noch die Älteren. Die Geburtenrate in Griechenland sinkt seit Jahrzehnten: mit 1,3 Kindern pro Frau ist sie eine der tiefsten Europas. Doch seit 2011 gibt es in Griechenland mehr Todesfälle als Geburten. Das ist auch in anderen europäischen Ländern der Fall, auch in der Schweiz. Trotzdem wächst hierzulande die Bevölkerung - dank der Einwanderung. In Griechenland aber wandern mehr Menschen aus als ein: Hunderttausende sind allein in den Jahren der griechischen Finanzkrise weggezogen, darunter viele Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter. Hinzu kommt: Die griechische Bevölkerung ist ungleichmäßig im Land verteilt. Die Hälfte der Griechinnen und Griechen wohnt im Großraum Athen und Thessaloniki. In den Dörfern hingegen gibt es weder Jobs noch die nötige Infrastruktur für Familien mit Kindern. Die konservative griechische Regierung will nun das demographische Problem anpacken: Ein 20-Milliarden schweres Maßnahmenpaket soll dazu führen, dass griechische Paare wieder mehr Kinder bekommen. Und sie gibt Anreize, damit Griechinnen und Griechen aus den Städten in die Dörfer ziehen. Doch anders als in China beispielsweise sind die Massnahmen der Regierung sanft. Können sie die Wiege Europas vor dem Aussterben retten? SRF International: Geburtenrückgang in China:

You are very important to God. It does not matter who you are or what you have gone through, God has a plan to use you as a key part of His kingdom. Many of us may not see how everything unfolds, but we can trust that He knows our past, present, and future, and He knows how to put us in the right place at the right time. Your life has a destiny, and God wants to use everything about you to accomplish His will.In his letter to the church in Thessaloniki, the Apostle Paul encourages believers to develop a heart for ministry. This is not a call reserved for pastors or missionaries; it is for every person who follows Christ. As we explore 1 Thessalonians chapter 2, the Holy Spirit will give us clarity on how to apply God's Word to our lives today, reminding us that we are deeply significant to His eternal plan.

Längst überfälliges Update aus Griechenland! Warum gab es letzte Woche keine Folge? Weil unsere erste Woche auf Chalkidiki - nennen wir es mal ereignisreich war. Strafzettel in Thessaloniki, Nummernschild weg, Führerscheinentzug drohte. Parallel laufen drei Kinder in griechischen Schulen, ich fülle täglich Lunchboxen (Tipps willkommen!), und mein Jahresmotto "Leicht und einfach" wird gerade ordentlich auf die Probe gestellt. Ein ehrliches Update vom Leben in Griechenland – mit allen Höhen und Tiefen. Du hast Fragen an mich oder willst mir Lunchbox-Tipps dalassen? Dann schreib mir eine Mail an info@dielinguistin.at Ich bin gespannt!

Thessaloniki was a city in Greece where Paul had a short ministry, but it was a powerful ministry. Even though Paul was only there for about a month, the Gospel stuck, and the church continued to thrive. Throughout this series, we have been studying the kind of church God loves. God loved this church because of how they lived and who they were. They brought God pleasure. They impacted their lives, their community, and the surrounding area, and Paul describes that church for us in 1 Thessalonians 1:6–10 so we can learn to emulate it.

In this episode, Emily and Danai will give you weather and clothing related vocabulary. They will talk about how the weather is in Greece and show you ways to tell the weather in Greek.E: Πωπω, χειμώνιασε κιόλας!!/Wow, it's already winter!D: Η αλήθεια είναι πως άλλαξε απότομα ο καιρός… Μόλις μπήκε ο Δεκέμβριος κρύωσε αρκετά./True, the weather changed so suddenly… As soon as December started, it got much colder.E: Ακριβώς! Η θερμοκρασία έχει πέσει αισθητά. Στην Θεσσαλονίκη οι θερμοκρασίες μας κυμαίνονται μεταξύ 10 και 15 περίπου βαθμών Κελσίου./Exactly! The temperature has dropped noticeably. Here in Thessaloniki it's around 10 to 15 degrees Celsius.D: Και στην Αθήνα έτσι είναι πάνω κάτω. Ίσως τη μέρα να κάνει λίγη περισσότερη ζέστη γιατί είμαστε πιο νότια, αλλά σε γενικές γραμμές κάνει κρύο. Λένε ότι από βδομάδα θα πέσεις κι άλλο η θερμοκρασία./It's more or less the same in Athens. Maybe during the day it's a bit warmer because we're further south, but generally it's cold. They say that next week the temperature will drop even more.E: Σίγουρα! Εδώ στα βόρεια έχει λίγες μέρες που έχουμε και πολλή ομίχλη. Άσε που η υγρασία τρυπάει κόκκαλο όπως πάντα. Και μιας που μιλάμε για κρύα, μόλις θυμήθηκα ότι πρέπει να πάρω καινούρια μπουφάν στα παιδιά. Τα περσινά δεν τους κάνουν!/For sure! Up here in the north we've had a lot of fog these last few days. And the humidity gets right into your bones, as always. And speaking of the cold, I just remembered I need to buy new jackets for the kids. Last year's don't fit them anymore!D: Ωχ! Έχεις δίκιο. Εμένα λογικά θα χρειαστούν και σκουφιά και γάντια, κάπου χάθηκαν τα παλιά./Oh! You're right. Mine will probably need hats and gloves too; the old ones are lost somewhere.E: Σωστά! /True!D: Νομίζω βέβαια, θα χρειαστεί να πάμε για ψώνια σύντομα, γιατί σχεδόν κανένα από τα περσινά χειμερινά ρούχα δεν τους κάνει, τώρα που το σκέφτομαι./ I think we'll need to go shopping soon anyway, because now that I think about it, almost none of last year's winter clothes fit them.E: Κι εμείς μία από τα ίδια. Ίσως η μικρή να μπορέσει να πάρει κάποια ρούχα από τη μεγάλη, αλλά σίγουρα έχουμε κι εμείς τα ψώνια στο πρόγραμμα./Same here. Maybe the little one can wear some clothes from the older one, but we definitely have shopping on our list too.D: Λοιπόν θα σου πω τι έχω στη λίστα και πες μου αν ξεχνάω κάτι./So, I'll tell you what I have on my list and you tell me if I'm forgetting anything.Ε: Πες μου./Go ahead.D: Ωραία, έχω γράψει: παντελόνια, μακρυμάνικες μπλούζες, φούτερ, πουλόβερ, κασκόλ και κανένα μπουφάν./Okay, I've written down: pants, long-sleeved shirts, hoodies, sweaters, scarves, and a jacket or two.E: Και τα γάντια με τα σκουφάκια που είπες πριν!/And the gloves and hats you mentioned earlier!D: Σωστά, σωστά! Κάτσε να τα γράψω. Οπότε είμαι έτοιμη, τώρα μένει μόνο να πάμε στα μαγαζιά!/Right, right! Let me write those down. So I'm set, now we just need to go to the stores!Ε: Να πάτε το άλλο Σαββατοκύριακο που ξεκινάνε οι εκπτώσεις!/Go next weekend when the sales start!D: Σωστά! Τότε θα πάμε! /Good idea!

The teaching of St Gregory is so fundamental to Orthodoxy that he is especially commemorated each year in Great Lent on the Sunday following the Sunday of Orthodoxy (as well as on Nov. 14); Bishop Kallistos observes in the English edition of the Philokalia, "his successful defence of the divine and uncreated character of the light of Tabor...[is] seen as a direct continuation of the preceding celebration, as nothing less than a renewed Triumph of Orthodoxy."   The son of a prominent family, St Gregory was born (1296) and raised in Constantinople. At about age twenty, he abandoned a promising secular career to become a monk on Mt Athos. (His family joined him en masse: two of his brothers went with him to the Holy Mountain; at the same time his widowed mother, two of his sisters, and many of the household servants also entered monastic life.) He spent the next twenty years living as a hermit, spending five days a week in complete solitude, then joining the brethren on weekends for the Divine Liturgy and its accompanying services.   Around 1335 he was called to live a much more public life in defense of the faith and spirituality of the Church. A Greek living in Italy, Barlaam the Calabrian, had launched an attack on the hesychastic spirituality of the Church. Fundamentally, Barlaam denied that man can attain to a true vision of God Himself, or true union with Him, in this life. Gregory, recognizing in this an attack on the Christian faith itself, responded. He even left the Holy Mountain and re-settled in Constantinople so as better to wage the struggle, which had become so public that a Church Council was called to settle the issue. St Gregory's views were affirmed, and Barlaam's condemned, at the Council of Constantinople of 1341.   Though Barlaam himself returned to Italy, a series of his followers continued the attack, eventually resulting in two more Councils in 1347 and 1351, both of which affirmed the hesychasts' position. Metropolitan Hierotheos (The Mind of the Orthodox Church) writes that these councils have "all the marks of an Ecumenical Council." This, along with the fact that St Gregory's views are affirmed in the Synodikon of Orthodoxy (appointed to be read in churches every Sunday of Orthodoxy), and his commemoration every second Sunday of Great Lent, makes clear that his teaching is a basic and indispensable part of the Orthodox Faith.   In 1347 St Gregory was consecrated Metropolitan of Thessaloniki, where he served until his repose. (He spent a year of this period as the prisoner of Turkish pirates). Despite (or due to?) his austere monastic background, he was revered by his flock: immediately after his repose in 1359, popular veneration of him sprang up in Thessaloniki, Constantinople and Mt Athos and, in 1368, only nine years after his death, the Church officially glorified him as a saint.   St Gregory was always clear that unceasing mental prayer is not a special calling of monastics, but is possible and desirable for every Christian in every walk of life. See his On the Necessity of Constant Prayer for all Christians, reproduced on this site.

Time for our last installment of live interviews from Coffee Fest 2025. This time from Orlando, FL USA! We are talking with four awesome professionals about everything from training and tasting, Florida coffee culture and barista work - to career dreams coming true through hard work and faith, and empowering your baristas with distributed management!  First we are talking with Claudio Martinez! For Claudio, coffee has never been just a drink, it is part of his soul, rooted in his family's 70-year heritage in Honduras. That connection was reignited in Thessaloniki, Greece, where, under the mentorship of Tony Sebastian of I Heart Coffee Roasters, he embraced the beauty, tradition, and community that coffee represents. His first hands-on experience came in a small drive-through coffee shop in Ellendale, North Dakota, owned by a close friend. As a young barista, Claudio discovered the joy of serving others one cup at a time. That spark guided him forward, leading to opportunities with global icons such as Lavazza, where he worked as a trainer and educator, and later with List + Beisler, where he shared exceptional coffees as a green trader with roasters across the country. Each step nurtured his gratitude and reinforced his belief in coffee as a bridge between cultures and communities. Today, as the driving force behind Golden Bush Coffee, Claudio channels that lifelong passion into supporting food and beverage communities throughout Florida and beyond. His mission is grounded in humility and purpose, guided by the belief that coffee is never just about what's in the cup—it is about people, stories, and the connections it creates. Links:  https://goldenbushcoffee.com/ https://www.instagram.com/goldenbushcoffee/   Next up we feature Vanessa Jaramillo! Vanessa Jaramillo is the Regional Events & Operations Coordinator for Florida Coffee Culture, where she helps connect and celebrate the people behind Florida's growing specialty coffee scene. As a Colombian-American, Vanessa's connection to coffee began long before she became a barista — she visited origin before ever working behind a bar. After discovering specialty coffee in Australia during her gap year, she returned to Florida with a deep passion for community and storytelling. With three years in the coffee industry, Vanessa has immersed herself in every part of the craft — from cuppings and throwdowns to competitions and community events. She's driven by the belief that coffee is a universal connector that brings people together from all walks of life.

María Esther is the Co-Founder and Co-Creator of Coffea School, a Coffee & Tea Training Center located in Miami Gardens, Florida. Lawyer, with Master in Tax and Administrative Law. Q-Instructor. SCA Authorized Trainer in the entire Coffee Skills Program, from seed to cup. SCA-ReCo Fellow. SCA Technical Standard Committee Fellow, 2016-2018. CQI Q-Processing Professional.

Hello!New episode is out for your delectable delight!Thessaloniki is located in Northern Greece in the region of Macedonia, and has a long, long history, being established in 315 BCE by king Cassander to honour his wife, the half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessalonike. Today is the second largest and most important city in Greece.As a major port, with access to the Mediterranean, and half way to Constantinople it thrived for centuries, being an important hub for trade and culture from all over the Balkan peninsula, and beyond.It was also home to a thriving Jewish community for roughly 500 years; the Sephardic Jews.In the beginning of the 20th century they accounted for more than half of the total population of the city.As a result, Thessalonica's food culture is a heady mix of influences from all across Greece, Balkans, and Turkey with amazing food, and rightly is considered by many the food capital of Greece.On today's episode, I have the honour to have as my guest Meni Valle, Greek-Australian cook and author, all about the best gastronomic destination in Greece, the city of Thessaloniki!!!In Valle's new book, Thessaloniki: And the Many Kitchens of Northern Greece, published by Hardie Grant, she turns her focus to the diverse and historically rich cuisine of Greece's second-largest city.Well, enjoy our discussion!https://www.menivalle.com.au/Her new book Thessaloniki is released soon in UK.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thessaloniki-Many-Kitchens-Northern-Greece/dp/1761450980My food cultural / historical recommendations for the week include:Dr Roderick Bailey: The British Experience of the Great Fire of Thessaloniki of 1917https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUMh1RoqKiwCulina vetusFreezing and Salting Pork:https://www.culina-vetus.de/2025/09/30/freezing-and-salting-pork/PopChop - Future Food Culturehttps://popchop.at/Building Blocks: Greek Whole Grain Tahini, and the Artisans Behind Ithttps://culinarybackstreets.com/stories/athens/building-blocks-37Music on this episode -as ever- by Pavlos KapralosEnjoy!Love,Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

The Business of Transition: Jewish and Greek Merchants of Salonica from Ottoman to Greek Rule (Stanford UP, 2024) examines how the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie of the Eastern Mediterranean navigated the transition from empire to nation-state in the early twentieth century. In this social and cultural history, Paris Papamichos Chronakis shows how the Jewish and Greek merchants of Salonica (present-day Thessaloniki) skillfully managed the tumultuous shift from Ottoman to Greek rule amidst revolution and war, rising ethnic tensions, and heightened class conflict. Bringing their once powerful voices back into the historical narrative, he traces their entangled trajectories as businessmen, community members, and civic leaders to illustrate how the self-reinvention of a Jewish-led bourgeoisie made a city Greek. Papamichos Chronakis draws on previously untapped local archival material to weave a rich narrative of individual portraits, introducing us to revered philanthropists and committed patriots as well as vilified profiteers and victimized Salonicans. Offering a kaleidoscopic view of a city in transition, this book reveals how the collapse of empire shook all the constitutive elements of Jewish and Greek identities, and how Jews and Greeks reinvented themselves amidst these larger political and economic disruptions. 2024: National Jewish Book Awards Winner of the 2024 National Jewish Book Awards - JDC-Herbert Katzki Award (Writing Based on Archival Material), sponsored by the Jewish Book Council.

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Athan Kollias to discuss 3D force plates and innovations in sports tech including AI & biomechanics.Athanase Kollias is the CEO of Kinvent, a Scale Up Cohort 7 company developing technology to help people in physical rehabilitation and athletes improve their movements and performance through precise measurements and real-time feedback. Raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, Athan grew up surrounded by biomechanics. He spent his childhood in his father Iraklis' lab, watching as his father—a biokinetics professor—built innovative equipment to overcome budget constraints. This hands-on exposure to movement science lit a spark in Athan early on, fueling a passion that would shape his future. A former athlete himself, Athan competed in rowing and rugby for over a decade, experiencing firsthand the frustrations of injury recovery. It was during these challenges that the idea for KINVENT began to form—a way to bridge the gap between biomechanics and accessible tools for therapists and coaches. His journey took him from Thessaloniki to Paris, where he earned a double degree in mechanical engineering, splitting his studies between his home university and the prestigious École Centrale. This experience not only honed his technical skills but also opened doors to the French industry. Athan's career began at Michelin in France, where he applied his biomechanics expertise to improve driver comfort in mining vehicles. Later, he worked in Cameroon, further broadening his technical and business experience in diverse environments.For more on Athan & Kinvent be sure to follow @kinvent_official & @athan_kollias*SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.

Von der Altstadt Thessalonikis hoch zu den Göttern des Olymps bis ins türkisfarbene Wasser von Chalkidiki - Unsere Reporterin Alexandra Kosma nimmt uns mit auf ihre Reise nach Griechenland. Anders als ein normaler Tourist es könnte, taucht Alex mit uns tiefer ein in das Land ihrer Wurzeln und zeigt uns ihre Lieblingsorte und Geheimtipps in und rund um Thessaloniki. In Thessaloniki geht es durch die Ano Poli, die Altstadt, mit ihren engen, steilen Gassen und traditionellen Häusern. Hier trifft Alex den Künstler Giorgos Koftis, der sein ganzes Leben schon in der Altstadt lebt und ihre besondere Atmosphäre schätzt. Mit dem Fahrrad geht es an die wunderschöne Promenade von Thessaloniki und ein paar Kilometer werden auch mit der neuen Metro zurückgelegt, die mehr Museum als öffentliches Verkehrsmittel ist. Auch kulinarisch hat die Stadt viel zu bieten, ob es "Bougatsa" ist, die zum Frühstück in Thessaloniki einfach dazugehört Gyros, gegrillt auf Buchenholz. Auf dem Olymp gibt es die geballte Ladung Natur: Wälder, Seen und ganz viele Tiere. Auf einer Ranch, geführt von jungen Naturliebhabern, werden alle möglichen Aktivitäten angeboten, von Reiten bis Klettern. Letzteres probiert Alex aus bevor es weiter nach Chalkidiki geht. Dort wo das Meer kristallklar und türkis ist. Es geht auf den ersten der drei Finger der Halbinsel, in das malerische Dorf Afitos und mit dem Boot aufs Meer, zu Buchten, die man nur vom Wasser aus erreicht und wo der Sonnenuntergang am schönsten ist.

We kickoff a news series in 1 Thessalonians, by learning about Paul, Silas, and Timothy's relationship with the city of Thessaloniki.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos for an honest look at what it really takes to shape iconic hair moments in Hollywood and beyond. From growing up in Thessaloniki with a dream that defied family expectations, to styling the biggest stars on the planet, Dimitris's story is proof that fearlessness and timeless skill can take you anywhere.He shares how packing up his thriving career in Greece to move to New York — without fluent English — taught him that staying in your comfort zone is the biggest risk of all. Dimitris explains why hair is far more than a trend: it's confidence, identity, and self-expression in its purest form. Whether he's creating Met Gala looks for Kim Kardashian or helping everyday clients find their signature style, his approach is all about modern classics and true individuality.Listeners will hear his unfiltered advice for up-and-coming stylists: know the classics before chasing trends, stay curious, and never just copy-paste the same look for every client. Dimitris also breaks down why simple styles — a sleek ponytail, a clean bun — can feel the most powerful when they honor your natural texture.This episode is your backstage pass to the artistry and attitude behind hair that feels fresh today and timeless tomorrow. Tune in and get inspired to make your style — and your life — truly your own.CHAPTERS: (0:00) Introduction and Welcoming Dimitris Giannettos(1:02) Dimitris' Early Career and Journey into Hair Styling(3:02) Moving from Greece to New York and Embracing Risk(4:33) The Struggles of Starting Over in a New Country(7:42) Beauty and Hair: Defining Personality Through Styling(10:24) Exploring Inspirations from Past Decades in Hair Styling(12:51) The Importance of Hair Foundations and Developing Unique Styles(15:04) The Creative Process: Teamwork and Client Collaboration(21:17) Advice for New Stylists: Creativity and Client Understanding(27:05) Dimitris' Go-To Hair Products and Tips for Graying HairTo learn more about Dimitris, visit his social media.Please fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!
