Kostas Karyotakis
Kostas Karyotakis (, October 30, 1896 – July 20, 1928) is considered one of the most representative Greek poets of the 1920s and one of the first poets to use iconoclastic themes in Greece. His poetry conveys a great deal of nature, imagery and traces of expressionism and surrealism. The majority of Karyotakis' contemporaries viewed him in a dim light throughout his lifetime without a pragmatic accountability for their contemptuous views; for after his suicide,the majority began to revert to the view that he was indeed a great poet. He had a significant, almost disproportionately progressive influence on later Greek poets.

Entry from: Athens, Greece Entry Title: "Greece" Entry: "Day 80 May 1st (Friday) It is May Day in Europe which is like our Labour Day. We docked in Pireaus about 5:30am and we had to have breakfast early as departures started at 8am. We all had different times for disembarking so Eric decided to get off early and then we had to wait for our rental car to arrive. It came about 10:30am and after all the paper work we headed out of Athens towards Korinth. Unfortunately it was bumper to bumper which was moving at a snails pace. It reminded us of a holiday weekend on the 401. We tried to find a room in Nafplina and there wasn`t anything. We then went to Tolo and found a place. It worked out for the better as we stayed there for two nights as it was a really quaint little town right on the water. It was nice to see the snow capped mountains and the green valleys. The oranges ladened the trees and the smell of the orange blossoms filled the air. The farmers are busy, the wildflowers are in bloom and there is a sense of activity in the air. We settled in and wandered into the town to have a look around and some dinner. The GPS doesn't work outside of Athens so we went back to the old way to navigate in Greece, Judy translating the Greek signs.

Tripoli (, Trípoli, formerly Τρίπολις, Trípolis; traditionally Τριπολιτσά Tripolitsa) is a city of about 25,000 inhabitants in the central part of the Peloponnese, in Greece. It is the capital of the prefecture of Arcadia and the center of the municipality of Tripolis, pop. 48,000.
History
In the Middle Ages, the place was known as Drobolitsa, Droboltsá, or Dorboglitza, either from the Greek Hydropolitsa, 'Water City' or perhaps from the South Slavic for 'Plain of Oaks'.during the Greek War of Independence.]]
Modern Tripolis was created in 1770 near the ruins of the ancient cities of Pallantion, Tegea, and Mantinea, hence its name Τρίπολις = τρεις πόλεις 'three cities'. Before the Greek War of Independence, it served as one of the Ottoman administrative centers in the Peloponnese and had large Muslim and Jewish populations. Tripolis was one of the main targets of the Greek insurgents in the Greek War of Independence, who stormed it on October 17, 1821, following the bloody Siege of Tripolitsa, and proceeded to exterminate the Muslim and Jewish populations in revenge. Ibrahim Pasha retook the city on June 22, 1825, after it had been abandoned by the Greeks. Before his evacuation of Peloponnese early 1828, he destroyed the city and tore down its walls.
Tripolis became a major center of newly independent Greek state.
Geography and climate
Tripolis is located in the center of the Peloponnese, in a broad montane basin at approximately 650m in altitude. Tripolis is surrounded by thickly wooded mountains on all sides, the tallest and closest of which is Mount Mainalon to the northwest. The southwest of the Tripolis basin formerly consisted of wetlands which have now been drained and converted to farmland. Because of its inland location and high altitude, Tripolis has a transitional mediterranean/continental climate with hot dry summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can exceed 40C/104F (Record max. 44C/112F) and in winter temperatures below −10C/14F have been observed (Record min. -18C/0F). Snow can occur several times between late October and early April.Its main plazas are aligned with the main street and with a highway linking to Pyrgos and Patras. One of them is named Kennedy, the other is named Georgiou B' (George II). The southern part has its main street named Washington. The main section of the city is enclosed around the castle walls that were built during the Ottoman occupation of Greece. An industrial park has been built in the southwest.

Municipality
The municipality Tripoli was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 8 former municipalities, that became municipal units:
Subdivisions
The municipal unit of Tripoli is subdivided into the following communities:
Education
Tripoli is the seat of the recently founded University of the Peloponnese with two departments of the Sciences and Technology School and one department of the Economics and Administration School.
Transportation
Because of its location at the center of the Peloponnese, Tripolis is a transportation hub. Corinth is 75 km NE, Pyrgos 145 km E, Patras 144 km NW, Kalamata 60 km SW, and Sparti 60 km S.
Tripoli is mainly accessed from Athens and the rest of Greece through the Corinth-Tripoli-Kalamata motorway, known as the Moreas Motorway (A7). An alternative route is the GR-7 which used to be the main highway to Tripoli before the construction of the motorway. The city is also accessed by GR-74 and GR-76 from Pyrgos and by GR-39 from Sparta.
Tripoli is served by the metre gauge railway line from Corinth to Kalamata of the Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE). The line has been recently renovated and passenger services to Argos and Corinth, which were suspended for a few years, were reinstated in 2009.
Military
Tripoli is home to the two largest Armed Forces bootcamp centers of Greece, one for the Hellenic Army and one for the Hellenic Air Force
Sports
