Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 4 of 4 His hut, dignified with the name of a kula or tower, is twelve feet square within, and serves for every thing but a kitchen, which among Albanian soldiers is generally sub die. His palikaria occupy two other huts of the same size, but formed only of heaps of stones covered with branches, in which they all assemble when the weather is bad when fine, they repose on the lee-side of skreens made of branches supported upon rough posts, and which may easily be shifted according to the wind. The Aga's hut alone is tiled. The men consider them selves in luxury, having fish from the harbour for the trouble of catching it, and bread gratis from the villages. Hassau complains that in summer the air is unhealthy, and the winged insects very troublesome; but adds, that gnats, the worst of all, are seldom seen after June, the place being too dry for them. Petals consists almost entirely of rugged rocks, having small intervals of soil which are covered as usual in such situations in the winter and spring with a luxuriant growth of herbage, and a great variety of succulent or aromatic shrubs. On the summit are some velani oaks, and wild olives, and on the western side of the island a few fields which were cultivated by the Ithacans until Aly Pasha occupied the island.

Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 3 of 4 About six miles to the south-eastward of Parga is the entrance of Splantza, or the harbour of Pa nari, the ancient Glycys Limen, into which the Acheron discharges itself. The intermediate coast has a direction first due east, and then south; exactly in the angle is Ai Ianni, or St. John, which is the best harbour in this part of the coast. Porto Fanari is small and shallow, and therefore fre quented only by small vessels, which lead the corn and kalambokki of the plain of Fanari. The port is easily known by an interval of low coast between steep hills, and by a remarkable precipice on one side of the entrance. As at Bathrotam, the water of this bay is rendered almost sweet by the great river which is discharged into it whence the ancient name Glycys Limen. Suli is a conspicuous object rising behind this part of the coast on the heights a little to the southward of Porto Fanari is the village of Klarentza, and below it a small har bour and some magazines for the sardeles, which are caught in great plenty, in and near Porto Fa nari. The coast is steep but well cultivated as far as Cape Agriapidhia, the heights above which are seen from Corfu.

Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 4 of 4 In proceeding from the ruins to Alifaka, distant half an hour, we pass a tumulus situated in the plain, at one-third of the distance from the ruins. Alifaka is now a tjiftlik of Vely Pasha, and with the exception of one house now occupied by an Al banian Subashi, who superintends the Pasha' 3 con cerns, all the habitations are low huts of a single apartment, serving both for men and cattle. The Subashi, who is a native of Drageti near Tepeleni, is s11flefing from an intermittent fever; a disorder to which the Albanians are very subject when they pass the summer or autumn in these plains.
