Van Gogh climbed up to Lefkes this year; Frida Kahlo, Picasso,
Magritte, Tsarouchis and other great painters went along. They went
to Marpissa, as well. nd the pupils of the elementary school got to
know them under the guidance of their teachers Chryssa and Areti
Katsantoni. I was touched by this summer's first exhibition. The
little brushes, the little hands being carried away in the passion
and movement of the painter filled me with optimism. Could this
happen in Athens? Would the teachers have the feeling for it in the
depressive urban environment? It isn't easy for these teachers
here, either. They are deputy teachers like most tutors nowadays.
They don't know where they will be next year, nor will they get
paid in the summer. Why should they? Who cares about teachers, who
cares about children these days?But life goes on... Let's listen to
its pulse and get tuned. Have a nice summer!

Kostas Gouzelis Odes for the lugger Athina
A Parian by choice, with a life strongly attached to the sea,
the architect Kostas Gouzelis tells us that the dream, freedom,
love, the realization of his existence in the universe, pure like
limpid fountain water came in his adolescent years and rested on a
wooden sailing boat, indelibly putting their mark on his
route.Thanks to this boat on which he lustfully ventured his first
love-makings, he discovered the beauty and harmony that a human
artifact can have. Such are also the qualities of his collection of
poems : Odes to the lugger Athina, a laudatory description of the
construction of a traditional Greek sailing boat, of a moving ark
created with humble but ingeniously matching materials as was also
the case with thousands of caiques which-alas- were lightly led to
destruction.Enriched with his own sketches and with a dvd of
original music by Achilleas Persidis, his book was published by the
editions Pontoporos which he himself set up at Naussa, enclosing in
its pages thoughts, strong sentiments, many travels and a very
instructive advice: Beauty needs practice/ Otherwise it is
perpetually washed away by the water/ Like a water colour on a
wall/ And it goes away, gets muddled and you curse because you
remember so badly/ beauty needs practice.

Irini Venieri Untaught Lessons
A man and a woman stage an erotic symposium beyond any
conventional sense, through the routes of history, poetry and
philosophy, at the same time presenting a number of stories equal
to the number of constellations.This is how Irini Venieri
introduces her book Untaught Lessons (ed. Vergina), a composition
inundated with intertextual references- from the ancient lyric
poetry which inspired Kurosawa to Camys novels.Born in Athens in
1972, with descent from Paros and with literature studies in Greece
and Britain, Venieri has written two more books, The Careless Swan
and the Winged Encounter .

Following your work over the last few years we see a distinct
and repetitive use of the portrait and a common relationship
between the white background and pencil drawing. What is the
inspiration or starting point for this chemical reaction? The
portrait has always appeared to me as a landscape through which I
can wander and explore. The pencil backgrounds are extensions to
this landscape and allow me to wander further. Using this
combination of elements I can explore what is important to me, the
human condition, identity and what it means to be me. I hope others
find a similar use with them.
You work in your studio which is in the beautiful village of
Lefkes on Paros where somebody can visit you and view your work. In
September the visitors of the island return to their origins and
you continue to work and live there. Tell us a little about this
experi-ence. During the summer months I like to have a welcoming
studio for those who are interested. I enjoy the opportunity to
meet people and to discuss my work and we often stay in touch.
Although the door is usu-ally open it's best for anyone wanting to
visit the studio to contact me
A will to succeed is important and neces-sary.
before, to make sure I'm there. In September when everyone
slowly starts to leave I melt back into my regular routine a little
richer from my summer encounters.
Last winter you exhibited work in Germa-ny and had a big success
because all your works were sold at the opening night. What does
art require from the artist for this to happen? Hard work!!! It's
all hard work. And of course you need to want to be successful.
That's very important. Success not just for art but I think for
everything that we do. A will to succeed is important and
necessary. The art world is very competitive. For every gallery or
exhibition space there are hundreds of artists wanting to be the
one selected. It's not good enough to just make good art. You have
to make the best art you can. You have to promote that art. You
have to support that art. And then maybe you get the success.
Selling out on the first night was a very rewarding experience. I'm
working hard for the next one.
This summer you will have an exhibition in the gallery anti on
Antiparos. Does it require a different approach to the exhibi-tion
in Germany? Every opportunity to exhibit my work is im-portant to
me. Whether in Greece or abroad I always approach an exhibition
with the same focus and commitment. I believe my work and its
public deserve that from me. For the exhibition in Anti Gallery on
Anti Paros I will be exhibiting new works that combine elements
from my previous work with new approaches in technique and
material. I will also be exhib-iting an installation which I am
very excited about. The exhibition runs from 28th July until 11th
August and I hope the readers of Parola will have the opportunity
to visit.
You teach art lessons in your studio and your students have the
opportunity to be taught a lot and learn a lot. What do you advise
our young readers that wish to start learning about art?My advice
for somebody who wants to start learning art is to find an
environment and teacher that they feel comfortable with. I think
that's very important. They need to feel supported and encouraged
while also feeling free to explore and develop as individuals. This
is how I experienced being taught and it's the approach I use in my
teaching.
Angelika Vaxevanidou
It's all hard work.

Alegre Eskaloni, the dynamic Head of the Municipal Library of
Paros tells us about the various library activities and discloses
her immediate goals.
You have been the library Head since 2003. What has happened in
these 13 years?The creation and development of the collections,
their processing and promotion, development of cooperation at local
and Pan-Hellenic level with scientific agents and other libraries,
enterprises and persons, events for the children (Summer Campaign),
for adolescents (Events for Ado-lescents), seminars for various
ages and interests, training courses, exhi-bitions, book
presentations, speeches, music and astronomy evenings, the setting
up of the Public Information Centre offering information and
services at multiple levels, and many others! One should mention
the contribution of Yiannis Georgousis to the library since
2012.
Who supplies the books?The Municipality of Paros finances
exclusively the purchase of books at an annual basis. The follow up
is related to the purely scientific work for which the librarians
are trained. Continuous updating by authoritative sites and other
electronic or printed sources, contact with publishing activities
and reviews, loan statistics, being in touch with both internal and
external events, contact with the public to get to know its needs
and naturally donations by the public.
Our target is to instill our vision- ed-ucation at all levels-
to many more of our fellow-citizens.
What can one do in the library, besides reading or borrowing a
book?The library serves as a reading-room , either with our books
or the books of the users. The users have access to computers,
printers, a scanner, a copying machine, Internet for their
computers, table games, an inter-loan-ing service, etc.
In the recent years the library organized seminars on the use of
computers and the social media.What groups were they addressed to
and what was the response?The programme was called Swimming in the
deep waters of the online sea and was for adults. The first year it
was implemented in six libraries in the Southern Aegean as a pilot
programme. It was organised and coordinated by our library and
carried out exclusively by volunteers. Later it was ex-panded to
the nursing homes. In both cases the response was astonishing!
This years summer campaign for children and adolescents has been
organized by the National Library. Which was your experience from
the previous campaigns?This years Summer Campaign is the fourth. In
the first two years we were coordina-tors for the South Aegean
Libraries- in my capacity as Pioneer Employee of the Future Library
company, an urban non-profit company which started the difficult
task of coordination and innovation of the coun-trys public and
municipal libraries with the financial support of the Stavros
Niarchos Foundation.This years it is coordinated by the National
Library of Greece.
As Head of the Library, what plans do you have for the future?Im
happy you asked about plans and not dreams! Ill try to digitalise
the Closed Collection, with books on subjects about Paros and the
Cyclades. I will streamline the premises so that we can hold events
in its interior. My chief plan, however, is to further develop co
operations which will benefit our library and strengthen our
relations with the local society so that we can instill our vision
-education at all levels- to many more of our fellow-citizens.
Alegre Eskaloni
We make plans not dreams!

In the recent years you live and work at your studio on Paros.
Which was the main incentive for your decision?To Paros, this
beautiful Aegean island, I came with my husband Petros several
years ago and we took roots. (Now we are citizens of Paros). I was
fascinated by the beauty and serenity of this island which could
inspire me as an artist; I held many exhibitions oil, acrylic
paintings, water colours-inspired mainly by the local environment.
Opposite the exquisite island of Antiparos, we have the region of
Eklisidia which owns its name to its many
I was fas-cinated by the beauty and seren-ity of this
island.
churches (eklisia=church)-its present name is Glisidia . The
magnificent sunsets and the bucolic surroundings prompted us to
create, with much love and hard work. a small house complex with a
small church in the centre.I always wanted to take up interior and
exterior designing and at last I had the opportunity to do so.The
small church dedicated to PANAGIA (Virgin Mary) was a vow. With
great devotion I created its icons, using the fresco technique. The
painting of Panagia at the niche was ready, when I left for Athens.
When I came back to Paros the imagehad been deleted. I realized
that I should paint it again as it is nowadays with its look of
mixed joy and sadness that surrounds you no matter from what
direction you look at it. I keep my studio in Athens and I pay
there frequent visits to be in touch with exhibitions and other art
events.
At Paros, in recent years we have intense cultural activities.
Many theatre groups, performances, exhibitions, in general a
growing thirst for art. How do you interpret this phenomenon?Art is
Life. While the body needs nutrition in order to live, spiritual
food is equally necessary for the human beings who seek to satisfy
these spiritual quests.
Greece is now in the sixth year of an unprecedented crisis. What
is the most important thing these years have taught us?I have
always maintained and I want to say it once again that Greece never
dies. It is like the Phoenix which is reborn from its ash, Greece
is Immortal!
Which would be your advice to a young artist?Art is like breath,
without it you die.
Maria Stini
Art is like breath, without it you die.

The Archaeological Museum
The Archaeological Museum of Paros was built in the fifties, on
a lot that was donated by the Municipality of Paros and it is the
most important archaeological museum of the Aegean.
The exhibition was set by the late ephor of antiquities,
Nikolaos Zafiropoulos. Finds from older and recent archaeological
research on the island are displayed in the museum. Many of them
come from excavations led by the Ephor of Antiquities, Fotini
Zafiropoulou and since 1986 in collaboration with Yannos Kourayos,
head archaeologist for Paros and Antiparos.
The Museum exhibition develops in the two galleries, the small
hall, the atrium as well as the area in front of the museum, where
the Roman sarcophagi. The exhibition mainly includes marble
sculptures, admirable creations of Parian workshops, carved out of
the famous Parian marble, known as lychnites.
The exhibits are arranged in chronological order and presented
in order to highlight their aesthetic value as well as their
historical and cultural importance.
The most important exhibits include the Fat Lady from Saliangos
(5000 BC), the marble slab from Vintzi, Parikia (700 BC), the
oldest sample of grave relief from the ancient Greek art, the Gorgo
sculpture from Agios Panteleimon, Parikia (6th c. BC), the relief
with Archilochos in a funerary banquet (500 BC), the amazing statue
of Nike from Kastro (5th c. BC) and the fragment of the Parian
Chronicle, one of the most important works of Greek antiquity. The
finds from the excavation in progress in Despotiko are displayed in
the small hall.

Panagia Ekatontapiliani (Our Lady of the Hundred Gates)
The historic Byzantine church of Ekatontapiliani is located
here, not far from the port, in Paroikia. It is architec-turally
unique and one of the oldest, most significant, and best preserved
monuments in Greece. And better yet, it is right here on Paros, the
heart of the Aegean. It can be only compared with its equivalents
in Constantinople or Thessaloniki. But should we call it
Ekatontapiliani or Katopoliani? Both are correct as both names can
be found almost simultaneously from the middle of the 16th century.
Each name has its own meaning. Katopo-liani generally refers to the
location of the church facing the old city of Paroikia.
Ekatontapiliani means 100 doors or gates.
he first thing the visitor sees approaching the church, is the
tall white wall surrounding the complex. The wall has a height of
8.5m and a length of 252m, and two distinctive Aegean bell towers.
Such protective walls were often built around sacred and important
structures to safeguard them from invaders and pirates. Prior to
this construction, the church sat free of other encumbrances,
proudly displaying its pure harmonic lines and perfect proportions.
This particular wall was built and finished in the 17th century
along with the monk cells that adjoin the inner wall. This markedly
changed the look, but gave sturdy protection. The beautifully
landscaped meditative garden is a perfect frame for the large and
capa-cious arcades that mark the entrance. Ekatontapiliani rises
majestically be-hind, elegant in its severity, its exterior faade
basically unchanged since the 4th century. During its 17 centuries
of existence Ekatontapyliani has seen natural disasters, fires,
earthquakes, invaders as well as two of the greatest Byzantine
emperors (Constantine and Justinian) having put their mark on the
creation of this magnificent church.
The complex includes the baptistery, the chapel of St Nicolas
and the tomb of St Theoktisti, patron saint of Parikia. In the
atrium one can visit the Byzan-tine Museum of Paros.

Despotiko
Despotiko is a small uninhabited island west of Antiparos. An
impor-tant sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, god of light and music,
was founded there by the ancient Parians. There were as many as 22
shrines dedicated to Delian Apollo, the most worshiped deity
throughout the Cyclades. One of them was the sanctuary of
Despotiko. It was a religious center that attracted worshipers from
the Cyclades, Corinth in the Peloponnese as well as Asia Minor,
Cyprus and Egypt. The power of Paros during the archaic and
classical period is confirmed by the excavation in Despotiko.With
the local quarries producing the best quality of marble, Paros
quickly developed, created a remarkable school of sculpture and
exported marble and sculptors to all the impor-tant centers of the
ancient world.
Research began with great difficulty in 1997 by archeologist
Yannos Kourayos, while systematic excavation just in 2002, after
the pier was built thanks to Yannis Patelis from Antiparos. It was
then that a treasury of 600 objects was discovered, buried under
the floor of one of the rooms of the temple, now in the
Archaeological Museum of Paros. The new finds that each year brings
along, disclose a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo and to the goddess
Hestia, who was the patron goddess of seamen in the classical
period.
Among the finds is a terracotta statuette from a Parian workshop
also in the museum of Paros. The large size and fine artistic
quality suggest that it is probably the cult idol of the original
temple, representing the goddess Artemis or even Apollo himself.The
excavation on Despotiko, which is still in course with the
participa-tion of students of Greek and foreign universities, was
classified among the ten most important archaeological discoveries
of 2011.

Delion
North of Parikia, on a hill with an amazing view, lie the ruins
of the sanctuary of Delian Apollo and Artemis. In its initial form,
the sanctuary was quite simple consisting basically of an enclosure
wall around a rock and the altar for the sacrifices. From this
plateau the faithful could see the sacred island of Delos waiting
for the signal to start here too, the religious ceremonies in
honour of Apollo.
Later, in the classical period, a small temple was built
containing a colossal statue of Artemis almost 3 meters high.
Numerous votive offerings were found during the excavations that
can be seen in the Archaelogical Museum of Paros.

Paros Antiparos DespotikoFrom Prehistoric to Contemporary
timesYannos Kourayos
This new guide, an edition of the Municipality of Paros,
published in the summer of 2015, is a precious manual to visitors
and inhabitants of the island who want to know more about the
remarkable history of Great Paros.
With short but informative texts and rich photo-graphic
material, Yannos Kourayos, archaeologist of the Ephorate of
Antiquities of the Cyclades, presents all the monuments and museums
of Paros, Antiparos and Despotiko. The guide begins with a
historical survey and winds up with precious maps of the three
islands, where the location of each monument is marked, and routes
to follow as well as references and photos of the masterpieces of
ancient sculpture carved in the famous Parian marble which can be
seen in the great museums in Greece and abroad.

, - 1959,
The meeting with the archaeologist Fotini Zafiropoulou took
place at the seat of the German Archaeological Institute, a
beau-tiful neoclassical building by Ziller in the centre of Athens.
In a few meters distance there stood in the past the
Hellenic-French School of Saint Joseph at which she was pupil. Her
knowledge of the French language as well as of English was the
ticket for her first job as a French language teacher and also as a
guide with license number five (!) during her student years.
Many times our talk drifted away and all the stories she told me
to give me the feeling of things disclose a life full of
difficulties and adventures, duties and dangers, tiredness but also
of great joy, a life like a fairy tale. Her life, dedicated for
over a half century to archaeol-ogy and particularly to the
archaeological research in the Cyclades, has been indeed an
exciting life.
Offspring of a Greek family from Asia Minor, she was born and
studied in Athens. In 1959 she graduated from the Philosophical
School of Athens University, as I read in an introduction for an
event organized in her honor by the publishing house MELISSA. In
1960 she was appointed to the Archaeological Service at which she
served for 35 years, 25 of which at the Ephorate of Antiquities of
the Cyclades and Samos which included 35 islands as she herself
told me. I read

further about her numerous international distinctions and her
remarkable archaeo-logical work. Reading the titles of the speeches
by her distinguished colleagues, I stop at that of Christos Doumas:
He who does good, does good everywhere. Indeed I think of her as
being useful everywhere, even in what she despised the most:
bureaucracy. Lets see how she talks about this issue in her book To
Syros. Paros, Naxos, Ios, Oia- Thira which describes, in a very
humorous way, incidents of her life as an archaeolo-gist in the
Cyclades: it was something beyond the imagination of a young
archaeologist who sets out with dreams of a life full of tension
and surprises to which the kind of science he chose will give a
special meaning and endless joy it was a terrible office work, time
wasting since the state archeologist has administrative duties from
the payroll and the personnel leaves to the finding of credits

repairs in the museum buildings, the cleaning and maintenance of
the archeo-logical sites.
But then comes the excavation with the feeling of companionship
and the human factor: we carried out the excavation with kotsakia
(folk couplets), made up by the workers, which were very clever and
humorous and described the situation with perception and accuracy.
It was charming indeed. For such moments one could forget the
drafting of scores of payroll documents and whatever else was
demanded by the bureaucracy.Winding up, she says: If in these
duties you add that one should have some knowledge of drafting and
photography as well as of the relevant legislation so as to deal
with the numerous lawsuits against or by various individuals, then
the archeologist who is a state employee must be a little mad and
with a high zeal to be able to do his job and have a personal life,
as well. Indeed one should have a great zeal at that time to be an
archeologist in the Cyclades; it took then two days with fair winds
to go to Paros from Mykonos with an overnight stop at Syros and
four or five days when the winds were strong and sailings were not
allowed.
She spent whole days aboard ships together with a typewriter to
work during the trips along with Nicos Zafiropoulos, her later
husband, who went from one island to another to organize even the
mi-nutest details of the archaeological muse-ums of the Cyclades.
When Zafiropoulos took over the Ephorate, there were three museums
in the Cyclades, those of Thira, Mikonos and Delos, all dating from
early in the century, and one at Vathi, Samos.At those times the
finds from the islands were sent to the National Archaeo-logical
Museum in Athens while most of them were piled in storehouses.
Since 1960, thanks to the tireless efforts of N.Zafiropoulos and of
herself, the Cyclades got their own museums. At the Museum of
Mykonos, which was the seat of the Ephorate because of Delos, where
the two of them worked most often, the work was done in polar
temperatures with the sea, when it got rough, reaching up to the
doorstep.Journeying and digging with the yearly winds in the
summer, the southern winds in winter, staying at hotels without
elec-tricity or heat, Fotini Zafiropoulou lived in the heroic era
of archaeology. She fought

against the waves, dug with a bottle of brandy in her pocket to
resist the cold and lay awake for a whole night with a statuette
and a knife under her pillow until dawn when she could take it to a
safe place. Frequently when the excava-tion took place on
uninhabited islands, the archaeologists stayed in tents and ate
tinned food or lobsters they bought at very low prices from the
fishermen, feeling richer than Onassis. Excavations on deserted
islands offered other advantages as well: at the period of the
junta we had the privilege to sing freely, many times screaming
with enthusiasm because we could sing all the prohibited songs,
espe-cially of Theodorakis, which if you were caught humming or
even whistling on the street of an inhabited area, you were sent
without further ado to jail. At Vathi Limenari (on the Kufonisia)
only the stars and the waves could hear you.About the years of the
junta and the archaeologist Spiros Marinatos, she will tell me
during our talk: At the time of the junta the Archaeological
Service suffered heavily because of Marinatos. He may have been a
great archaeologist but

he also harmed badly the Archaeological Service. To start with,
he didnt like archae-ologists whom he described as commu-nists; he
obliged us to speak in puristic Greek (katharevousa) while he did
not allow women to take the exams for the Archaeological Service.
He broke up the Ephorate of the Cyclades; out of the four
archaeologists, none was left. He sent us to all improbable posts
and in fact obliged Zafiropoulos to resign.
She first came to Paros in 1959 as a young archaeologist (with a
wage of 50 drachmas!) with Nikos Zafiropoulos, being the newly
appointed Ephorate head of Cyclades and after having stayed for
some days at Parikia, they left for Despotiko, two women
archeologists, two workers from Naxos, the Ephorate Head and the
then guard of the antiquities of Paros, Mihalis Gennadopoulos. At
Despotiko they stayed in tents for several days until a dreadful
flurry of wind literary sent them fleeing along with their tents.
All this happened at the time when they came from Antipa-ros to
take us with rowing boats and later with engine ones. To let them
know that we needed to cross, we had to open the door at the small
chapel of Ipapanti (at Punta)-that was the signal that someone
wanted to get across. Coming back from Despotiko, they will do
field research in eastern Paros, on the hill of Kefalos above
Marpissa where they found hundreds of fragments of statuettes and
broken pot-tery. The purpose of this research was to stop illicit
trade of antiquities, I thought that as soon as our reports reached
the Archaeological Service they would grant the necessary budget
for excavations in the area. I dreamed that as soon as I was
appointed archaeologist in the Cyclades, my first excavation would
be on the hill above Marpissa. With time I found out that most
dreams young people have, stay dreams forever.
Since then she came to Paros many times, participating in many
excavations, at Delion, Pithion-over the Asclepeion- and in many
rescue excavations at Parikia. However the excavation she carried
out at the Ancient Cemetery was the one that kept her to Paros and
is unique not only in Paros or the Cyclades but in the whole of
Greece. The cemetery dates from the 8th century B.C up to the 3rd
/4th century A.D and lies in the north of Parikia at a level lower
than the present town and the sea. The place is enclosed,

flooded and close by there is a small glass construction where
some of the finds have been placed, mainly skeletons and urns.
The excavation brought to light a Poly-andrio (mass grave) of
the geometrical era with urns which contained the burned bones of
150 young men aged between 16/17 and 30 years who had been killed
in a war conflict. It is a unique find up to date since the next
polyandrion we know of, is the one from the Marathon battle in 490
B.C. Among the finds is the relief of a seated female figure of 700
B.C. consid-ered as the most ancient funerary slab of the
historical years and is now at the Archaeological Museum of Paros.
There one can also admire two geometrical amphorae with scenes of
war conflicts which according to prof. N. Coldstream, a specialist
on geometric pottery, change our knowledge about the beginning of
ancient Greek painting.
The way the cemetery was organized and the scenes on the
amphorae disclose one of the earliest organized societies in
Greece. Thus when I ask her what is her dream for Paros, she
rightly tells me that she wants to see the ancient cemetery as an
organized archaeological site like the local museum in front of the
Cathedral, Naxos town.
We talked about many more things including the fashion of
holding exhibi-tions of the Greek civilization abroad. The
exhibitions held abroad are something good but they are organized
in the wrong way. Some works which are unique should not be allowed
to travel. If they want to see Hermes of Praxiteles, they should
come to Olympia.
Winding up the talk with Fotini Zafiropou-lou I asked her about
her present occupa-tions and dreams. She spoke to me with juvenile
enthusiasm about the Association of Archaeologist EOS, in which she
is presi-dent, and has 95 members-archaeologists. Its aim is to
promote the archaeological science and the classical studies in our
country. The role of the archaeologist in the contemporary era is
important because the basis of a country is its past, she says...
As N.Zafiropoulos said "The archeologist is being called upon to
give to the public the sensation that the ancient is not just a
stone or a pot but a living part of their own past on which their
present is based on". P

One of the most striking features of the eastern coast of Paros
is the hill of Kefalos with the monastery of Agios Antonios on its
summit. Kefalos and his lower twin, Antikefalos, oversee the
straits between Paros and Naxos while the white-washed monastery on
the summit invites the visitor to climb up the hill.
So, on foot or by car, go for it. Its worth it. Getting on top,
you will discover much more than the amazing view; an ancient
Corinthian capital by the church and the ruins of towers, cisterns,
houses and churches surrounding the 17th century monastery. They
bear evidence of the past when the Venetians built this castle
during their 330 year rule of Paros. Since 1207 when Paros became
part of the Duchy of Naxos under Marco Sanudo up to 1537, when the
Ottoman marine under the command of Barbarossa attacked Bernardo
Sagredo and took the castle of Kefalos and the whole island, making
6 000 prisoners from among the Parians. It was then that Cecilia
Venieri, threw herself from the castle to avoid falling in Ottoman
hands, closing in this heroic way the Venetian period in Paros.
The following passage is a prcis of an archaeological study
granted to us by Athanassios Vionis, Professor in Byzantine
Archaeology and Art in the University of Cyprus.

The remains of the 13th-16th-century kastro of Kephalos lie
today on the conical hill of Kephalos or Agios Antonios, named
after the monastery dedicated to St Anthony, built around 1580. The
site occupies the summit of the hill, which rises 230 m above
sea-level with commanding views. Kephalos is similar in layout to
other kastra of its period in the Aegean. The highest portion of
the castle was once occupied by the Catholic cathedral church and
the lords residence, with all the necessary structures that would
ensure survival for the occupants of the site. The lower castle
consists of two areas defended by an inner and an outer defensive
wall, with rows of single-roomed houses built against them.

the kastro divide the site into an upper and a lower level. Two
building phases can be securely identified, predating the
construction of the monastic complex of Agios Antonios around 1580.
The inner defensive wall with an average thickness of 1.20 m was
constructed during the first building phase and it encircles an
area of approximately 6,400 m2. Entrance into the area within the
inner defensive wall was through a gate located close to the
south-eastern corner of the wall. Part of the inner defensive wall
encircles a platform of about 2,300 m2 on the highest point of
Mount Kephalos. This is the area now occupied by the monastery, but
once occupied by the residence of the feudal lord or governor of
the island. The outer defensive wall with an average thickness of
1.50 m seems to have been built

during the second building phase and encircles an area of
approximately 28,400 m2. There are two gates in the outer defensive
wall; the south gate was the main one, while there was another one
on the west side. The outer fortification wall increased the total
area of Kephalos to about 35,000 m2.The presence of nine churches
(three twin churches and three regular single-aisled ones) with
associated domestic structures close to them determined the
separation of the site into six neighbourhoods, each one focused
around a barrel-vaulted chapel. House remains are to be found along
the whole extent of the inner and outer defensive walls, while
their condition and size varies. An old (originally medieval in
date) paved path leading to the monastery runs through the entire
kastro.
The remains of three water cisterns with their lining were
identified in Kephalos. The largest one is located within the inner
defensive wall to the north of the monastery, possibly formed

basement of the rather large multi-storey tower. The cistern
provided water to the occupants of the lords residence, while the
tower must have been associated with the lords residence itself or
even the Catholic cathedral now lying under the church of Agios
Antonios. The ruins of a second cistern were identified south-west
of the chapel of Evangelismos, it is also plastered over but rather
smaller in dimensions. The third water cistern is located close to
the south gate, to the left side of the paved path. The inner and
outer defensive walls were strengthened by towers located at
certain corners and built with roughly cut stones lined with
mortar.
Most areas within the kastro preserve a large number of humble
structures built against the fortification walls, identified as
houses occupied presumably by peasants. They must have had two
storeys, making use of the fortification-walls height, and they
seem to have had one or two rooms with doorways attached directly
to the side-walls. Small wooden or stone external staircases must
have led to the upper storey, the ground floor being used for
stabling and/or storage. Houses are not regularly constructed and
vary in size. The average size of houses ranges between 20 and 45
m2. Substantial ruins of houses in parts of the kastro suggest that
their ground floors were vaulted.
After arriving in Paros, the Venetians built Kastro in Paroikia
as their residence and the administrative seat of the island around
1260. The castle of Naoussa was constructed in the later 13th or
early 14th century, while a circular tower with firing apertures
was added at the entrance of its harbour around 1500. The kastro of
Kephalos already existed as a fortified site when the Florentine
priest Christophoro Buondelmonti visited Paros about 1415-20,
mentioning that the castle was located on a steep hill. The
existence of the site in the early years of the 15th century is
confirmed by the inscription above the doorway of the chapel of
Evangelismos on Kephalos, which commemorates the names of the
founders and 1410 as the date of construction.
It is not easy to suggest a definite date of construction for
Kephalos on the basis of historical information, but archaeological
evidence suggests that the first phase of the kastro could be
placed in the later 13th century. Distribution of surface ceramics
dated from the 13th to middle of 14th century show a remarkably
well-defined concentration within the inner defensive walls of
Kephalos. The outer fortification wall of the castle must have been
constructed during the late 14th century under the authority of
Nicolo I Sommaripa, who moved the administrative seat from the
castle of Paroikia to Kephalos. The site was besieged and captured
