Impeccable customer service and sublime experience

I booked through Movery the sea tour outside in the private mode. I specifically chose this mode because we were already a nice little group and preferred to experience it on our own. We got along very well with the guide who was extremely comprehensive and very nice, but a special thanks goes especially to the service guys, who were present practically 24 hours a day and always ready to answer every question I had and accommodate all our requests. What to say. Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you for the unforgettable emotions

Thank you for the unforgettable emotions. This birthday will be remembered for a long time. I would especially like to thank Elvira for the wonderful lesson on modeling donkeys in clay at viteri sul mare.

Private Sea Out Tour

I booked for my granddaughters through Movery the sea tour outside in the private mode. The experience was extremely positive. The guide friendly and engaging. Special thanks to Fabiana, background girl in charge of managing the experiences. She was always helpful and attentive (and also diligent to prompt in case I forgot to answer her ;-)). Recommended!

Happy Birthday with Sea Out

We gave our daughter, Nicole, the Mare Fuori tour for her birthday and it was a great surprise! Wonderful guide, Maria, who managed to introduce us to a never-before-seen Naples and at the same time tell us history and stories that enriched our stay! Thanks also from Nicole who has a smile on her face! Tania

Gino in town

Discover the wonders of the pearl of the Gargano.

It was in Vieste that Pope Celestine V ( him who made, through cowardice, the great refusal , as Dante tells us) was arrested. This is just one of the many stories that Vieste, the easternmost village of the Gargano, has to tell to the visitor who lends his ear.

Gino's tips and tricks...

The visit to the city of Vieste cannot be worthy of the name without a food and wine excursus. Ask Natascia and Gianluca and they will be able to show you the best places to savor the many delicacies typical of the Vieste tradition.

Gino in tour

Discover the wonders of the "spur of Italy".

Between art and nature, saints and kings.

A land that has seen the passage of different populations, the promontory of Gargano has to offer millennia of history and culture.

A day at the Tremiti Islands is highly recommended. Once there, rent a small dinghy to visit the islands and find your corner of paradise. In Foresta Umbra, rent a bike with assisted pedaling to better enjoy the visit. And if you get hungry there are many places where good genuine and local food awaits you, as well as various picnic areas.

Classical antiquity also suffered terrible epidemics. 

The head of the Aphrodite ‘Sosandra’ (which in Greek means ‘saviour of men’), a marble Roman copy from the 2 nd century A.D., is exhibited in the Archaeological Museum at the University of Pavia. It is a copy of the original bronze crafted by the Greek artist Calamides in the 5 th century B.C., which unfortunately is no longer preserved. Bronze has always been precious and the statue was probably cast in order to make weapons. We know the features of the original thanks to a number of copies from the Roman age, including an intact example found in Baia (currently exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Naples) and our head, which is of excellent workmanship and preserves traces of the colouring in the eyes. The original statue shone in the Propylaea, which served as the monumental entrance to the Acropolis of Athens during the so-called golden age of Pericles, a time to which a terrible plague put an end. The figure is completely wrapped in a cloak that also covers her head and, as Luciano di Samosata wrote, it is characterized by modesty, with a “dignified and light smile”. 

Fortunately, epidemics end and the masterpieces survive immortal.

The monastery of Sosandra: a contribution to its history, dedication and localisation

The present article deals with the famous monastery of Sosandra, which was founded by John III Vatatzes in the area of Magnesia (Manisa). After presenting the problems of its dating and dedication, it turns to the various theories on its localisation. On the base of Ottoman sources a new localisation is being proposed.

The present article deals with the so-called Empire of Nicaea (1204-1261) in the year 1243, when the emperor John III Vatatzes through a sumptuary law against the use of foreign luxurious textiles plead for the consume only of the Nicaean agricultural and artificial products. The implementation of such a policy could be however successful, only if the supply of the population with agricultural products was efficient. Firstly were determined the geographical boundaries of the Nicaean Empire in 1243. At that time it included a part of Paphlagonia, Bithynia, the west coasts of Asia Minor, a part of Caria, some Aegean islands (among them Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Ikaria and Kos) and finally a part of Thrace. In this extension the Nicaean State covered around 100.000 km2. According to our calculations, if 30%, perhaps 50%, of the land was actually cultivated, then the demand on agricultural products could be in general satisfied. But we have been able to measure the needed land for the survival of the population in specific cases like the village Bare (near Smyrna) and the cities Lampsacus, Pergamon and Nicaea. Furthermore, on the most important part of our survey we have applied settlement models and theories known from the economic geography. The first to use was the theory of J.H. von Thünen and his model of agricultural land use (the Thünen rings). We concluded that this theory can be verified not only in major cities like Nicaea but also in regard of the villages in Western Asia Minor. Nevertheless, since the theory of von Thünen is quite static, we decided to apply in the area of the Nicaean Empire the Central Place Theory (as it was expressed by W. Christaller and extended by G. W. Skinner). J. Koder was the first to make use of this theory for the Byzantine period and many of his conclusions were verified also by our research. After determining the “standard market towns” (SMTs) and the “central market towns”(CMTs) in Asia Minor we came to the conclusion that the Nicaean emperors intensified the network of settlements and market towns in Asia Minor improving in that way the agricultural production and strengthening the economy and the defence of the empire.

Besides Constantine the Great, the only other Byzantine emperor to be venerated by the Orthodox Church until the present day is the Nicene sovereign, John III Doukas Vatatzes. Considered by some a «father of the Greeks», Vatatzes has become an important part of modern Greek political discourse as well. Outlining the origin, evolution and diffusion of the sanctioned cult of John III as a saint-emperor, this paper suggests that the figure of St. Vatatzes has played an important role in shaping modern Greek identity, and aims to initiate further research on the topic so that the extraordinary endurance of his legacy will be better understood.

Codex Vindobonensis theologicus graecus 276 contains a small corpus of three documents dealing with the union of the Western (" Epirotic ") and Eastern (" Nicaean ") Greek churches. One document, a letter from the Despotes Manuel (Comnenus) Ducas to the Ecumenical Patriarch Germanus II, has recently been published in a critical edition, the two others (the response of Patriarch Germanus II and a synod decision about the mission of a patriarchal exarch executing the union on behalf of the latter) lacked a critical edition or were even partially unpublished. A critical edition (with translation) of these two documents supplements the study which analyzes diplomatic, rhetoric and text pragmatic (historical sociolinguistic) aspects. It is emphasized that these outstanding rhetoric products have to be understood set against a scholastic-rhetorical competition of urbanity (Constantinople or Nicaea, respectively) and provincialism (of the Epirote Empire). After the defeat of the former Epirote Emperor Theodorus Angelus at Klokotnica 1230), his successor Manuel appears to have been forced to change his policy by accepting his degradation – at least for a short time when he had to be content with the title of a despotes. However, his ultimate approval and support of the union of the Greek churches seems to have contributed to an even higher rank than a usual despotes. This can be seen from a letter written by the patriarchal exarch. The synod decision starts with a protocol that lists the participating archpriests. It is one of the rare documents from the Nica-ean period which allows reconstruction of the composition of its synodos endemusa. Such initial lists of participants in synod sessions reveal which archpriests took part (were invited, were present, were sent) in Nicaea and supported the patriarch. Three appendices to this study point out the local restriction of participants (with a focus on the period of Patriarch Germanus II) and a quite Asian dominated composition. The archpriests of the Eastern European sees are virtually missing.
