The mother of a 39-year-old man who was reported missing over a month ago claims to have identified the clothing found on a corpse in Tirnavos Vassilis Kalogirou was reported missing on December 30 His mother is a prosecutor at the Larissa Court of Appeal Police discovered the dead man after responding to a call from a witness who claimed to have seen a body on a hill south of Tirnavos a firefighter and a forensic expert arrived at the scene and confirmed the discovery The body was found near the banks of the Pineios River in an advanced state of decomposition Authorities are conducting an investigation to confirm whether the body belongs to Kalogirou Enter your information below to receive our weekly newsletters with the latest insights opinion pieces and current events straight to your inbox By 2024-06-19T15:40:00+01:00 Lygouras fruit farm is based at Tyrnavos near Larissa Running a busy fruit farm in Greece comes with its own set of unique challenges: the effects of climate change through a combination of sheer determination and some financial assistance from the European Union brothers Grigoris and Andreas Lygouras are overcoming those challenges near Larissa in the country’s Thessaly region The 35ha site was founded in 1977 by their father Thanassi “Today we grow a range of fruits including cherries which are normally very productive if the weather is favourable,” says Andreas that unpredictability hit home as many parts of Greece were inundated with heavy rain our farm escaped most of the flooding,” Andreas adds “but we did have an area of table grapes that was destroyed by the water.” Andreas Lygouras inspects some of his fruit trees The Lygouras brothers are very open about what their farm can generate with an average yield of between five and ten tonnes per hectare Nectarines grown on 10ha of land yield 20-30 tonnes/ha selling for €0.60 per kg; and a similar area for pears averages the same volume selling for anything from €0.35 per kg to €0.60 per kg 5ha of peaches average 1-1.2 tonnes/ha that sell at €1.20/kg; 2ha of table grapes yield 25 tonnes/ha that sell at €0.50/kg; and 2ha of other cherries average 30 tonnes/ha and sell for €0.35/kg The main harvest season for cherries starts during the first ten days of May and continues throughout the summer months with nectarines and peaches Then in September it’s the turn of the wine-making grape varieties “All our fruit is sold to the Agricultural Cooperative Producers of Argyroupoli and to the Tyrnavos winery,” Andreas says “We have to irrigate all our crops five to six hours per week from May to September Most of the water is sourced from our own bore holes on the farm.” Andreas and Grigoris have noticed their costs of production have escalated recently They say it has also become much more difficult to obtain skilled labour to help with the fruit harvesting “Two years ago our costs of production for the pears came to around €6,000 per hectare,” Andreas reveals now the costs have escalated to €10,000 to €11,000 per hectare.” Machinery purchased with an EU grant has helped to bring down costs Funding from the European Union has played a vital role in securing investment for the Lygouras farm Both brothers benefited from the European Young Farmers Scheme and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) “With the aid of a new business grant to improve our efficiency we were able to source funding from the EU to modernise tractors and agricultural machinery such as harvesters sprayers and lawnmowers,” Andreas explains “Using the help of 50 per cent grants from the EU I recently invested a total of €80,000 to modernise some machinery Grigoris also spent €100,000 on other machinery Site powered by Webvision Cloud Sign up for our daily Newsletter and stay up to date with all the latest news You are receiving this pop-up because this is the first time you are visiting our site You are using software which is blocking our advertisements (adblocker) we are relying on revenues from our banners So please disable your adblocker and reload the page to continue using this site.Thanks Another weather setback has been added to the burdens of stone fruit producers in the broader area of Tyrnavos as two days of hailstorms occurred in late April adding new damage to the already destroyed production from the March frost "The March frost had already destroyed this year's production they lasted for two days and hit various areas causing new damage to the stone fruits," says Mr president of the Froutopigi Agricultural Cooperative from Platanoulia and according to the information provided by Mr the damage from various adverse weather conditions is almost universal: "In apricots the damage is estimated to be 80-90% of the potential production Only in peaches and nectarines is the damage limited to 40-50%." The apricot harvest from Tyrnavos is expected to begin around May 15 but how high is something we'll have to wait to see once the harvest begins the situation with stone fruits is chaotic depending on the varieties," comments the president of the Greek cooperative Another major product of Froutopigi is pears Tyrnavos is the leading region for pear production in Greece but even this fruit was not spared from the bad weather This year's winter did not provide favorable temperatures and then came the blows from the frost and hail the temperature difference between day and night is harmful to the fruit We have -1°C at night and 25-30°C during the day The pears are still in the fruit drop phase I estimate that the new production will be reduced by 50% this does not hinder exports," concludes Mr For more information:Konstantinos MalakosFroutopigiTel: +30 2410 831 479Email: [email protected] FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com the day that marks one year since the fatal accident in Tempi following the decision of Metropolitan Ieronymos of Larissa and Tyrnavos the Offices of the Holy Metropolis will remain closed the dead of the unspeakable railway tragedy all the Parishes of the Metropolis will ring 57 mourning bells as a sign of honour and respect for the memory of the victims of the accident a tragic head-on collision occurred between two trains south of the Tempi Valley in Greece The collision involved the InterCity 62 (IC62) passenger train and an intermodal freight train resulting in the loss of at least 57 lives Several factors contributed to the accident including the failure to implement the European Train Control System (ETCS) as originally scheduled for 2020 with its deployment delayed until late 2023 telematics in Larissa ceased functioning due to a summer wildfire and remained unresolved This collision marked a tragic culmination following a series of other rail incidents that fortunately had no casualties the Patriarchate of Jerusalem solemnly celebrated the Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women...

and manouri From a cheese factory in Tyrnavos, Thessaly you’d expect nothing less than a range of fine cheeses the town is famous for a number of gourmet products besides tsipouro – among them PDO Feta Tirnavos The story of this particular business began in 1936 when forward-thinking and determined grandfather Nikos Tzafetas who comes from the large farming family from Vlastis (in Kozani) envisioned a future defined by modernization and expansion So he decided to boost milk production from the family’s herds and meanwhile started studying law Greek cheese-making was carried out with very primitive methods – in makeshift huts scattered across the meadows so that producers could easily access them with wooden tools and utensils and without basic sanitary conditions The reins of the business are now in the hands of the third generation of the family: Nikos employ people from Tyrnavos where they live and it has never occurred to them to do anything other We spoke with Nikos and Evi whilst taking a tour of their traditional dairy and asked them if they regard themselves as industrialists or cheese makers because the name of their business is ‘Cheese Product Industry’ we consider ourselves as cheese makers” “And I introduce myself as a cheesemaker,” adds Evi Tzafetas “I always say we come from a cheese-making family.” what do they say when asked at school what their mum or dad does for a living my problem was always the question ‘what does your father do for a living Is he a cheesemaker?” says Evi Tzafetta “what should I call you dad?” and his answer was “You decide.” So Nikos and I simply said “our dad is a cheese maker” Now our children say the same about us.” As the ravages of the Second World War ended grandfather Nikos Tzafetas built a cheese factory in Kozani and in 1959 he returned to Tyrnavos (where his home was) and built the current cheese factory it had a milk purification filter and pasteurization for the hygiene of the products He was then succeeded by his son Ioannis Tzafetas who put the business on the road to success As he saw an increase in demand for feta cheese abroad he shifted production towards this product (along with a few other kinds of cheese) thus forming a state-of-the-art cheese dairy I wonder if they are still making their cheeses according to the old family recipes “our recipes are the same as those used by our grandfather and our father in the 1930s – because grandfather started the business in 1936 – or the 1940s we apply the most modern methods and the most contemporary production techniques “But we also keep a part of our products that continue to be made in the traditional way,” Evi explains we have feta cheese that was made in exactly the same way as in the old days: in the so-called “tezakia” We put the cheese in the “tsantilla” (a gauze or linen draining cloth) place it on the cheese bench and put a weight on the tsantilla to drain it while the other cheeses are made by machines.” aroma and texture of handmade cheese different from that of cheese made by machines even though they’re both made according to the same traditional recipe “Tsantilla feta and machine-produced feta are two completely different kinds of cheese when it comes to their taste “a different composition and a different taste but essentially gives two different products And the difference comes from the human hand.” Have they ever considered doing something different professionally Dad made us work; he taught us to love the art of cheese making from a young age.” For her making traditional cheeses is a kind of service the production of all traditional products in a proper and quality way is a contribution to honouring Greece through our food culture,” she says “so I feel like I’m offering something unique.”“We are preserving and offering something that is written in the DNA of Greeks,” Nikos adds all of us Greek producers officialised feta as part of Greece’s ‘food DNA’ in Europe We wonder if out of the wide range of Thessalian cheeses they chose to focus on feta and manouri for economic reasons feta is the flagship of Greek cheese production It’s a cheese that is extremely fast-moving as it’s not such a staple in the daily diet of Greeks or Europeans or “aeromanouro” as they call it in Vlastis “is a completely different cheese from fresh manouri Nikos tells us that it is a very old cheese “We chose to produce manouri because watching the market we saw that in recent years there was a trend – mainly among young people – to like this product The dairy sources its milk from small livestock farms in Trikala It employs 25 people and all employees are from the region.Their greatest concern is that they cannot find enough people to work for them They believe this will be a big problem for Greek livestock farming now and in the future Evi says that this is one reason why domestic livestock farming is nearing extinction Eclectic Dairy Products of Grevena, Northern Greece The Foods of Rhodes 5 Local Products to take Home from the Ionian Island of Zakynthos A Hellenic Wine and Spirits masterclass took us on a journey to the birthplace of Moschato Mavro Tyrnavou and Syrah When sommelier Angie Giannakoudakis discusses wine she talks about a journey more than a taste “We can’t jump on a plane (to Greece) but we can drink our way there,” she told a small group of wine tasters ranging from connoisseurs to the not-so-classy wine drinkers like myself who commit frowned-upon travesties when it comes to wine drinking such as adding coke to it on the odd occasion But our meeting with Ms Giannakoudakis was a special occasion and one where the taste of wines from the cellars of Hellenic Wine and Spirits (HWS) were to be savoured rather than disguised “Let’s just say that we land in Athens and then we just decide to take the scenic route,” Ms Giannakoudakis said before guiding us on a road trip to the land of Tyrnavos viticulture has been renowned since mythical times with Homer writing of how Evnios – the son of Jason and Ipsipilis – was sent to Troy to supply men with Thessalian wines Its reputation is evidenced by archaeological findings in the area READ MORE: Wines of Greece touring Australia #drinkgreekwine Angie Giannakoudakis instructs participants as to how to savour the wine slightly elevated,” Ms Giannakoudakis said “There’s drifting sea breezes and that is very interesting as far as microclimate is concerned As we each sat in the comfort of our own homes with the same aromas oozing from our kitchens created by chef Petros from Epocha to be perfectly paired with five varietal wines the experience was different depending on each palate and perspective As the night progressed and the wines flowed on and little stories were unbottled with every variety of wine from the strong pale appetizer to the blush syrah We were instructed to eat it with the lamb the flavours were richer and more voluptuous taking us to the lolly shops of Athinas Street READ MORE: Naoussa wines receive pride of place in unique free online tasting event I go to this place in Athinas St before I go home and I load myself with these karameles – big ones small ones – and the reason I know this place is that my mother goes there and when she’d go she’d bring us back a memory or a box,” she said instructing us to take a “gorgeous mouthful” to be transported there ourselves paired with mastic and raspberry ‘toffee apple’ dessert though it would also be a match for galaktoboureko or maybe Roquefort cheese from Southern France – because one thing the evening showed us is that Greek wines can be paired with flavours from all around the world – and there’s definitely something for everyone’s palate As sommelier Angie Giannakoudakis weaved together pictures and tastes Hellenic Wine and Spirits (HWS) national sales manager Vicky Wedderburn carefully watched people’s reactions to her family’s wines eager to hear their stories as their tongues were loosened by the good food and wine Though she grew up surrounded by Greek wines and spirits she never tires of hearing of new pairings and their potential “My father started the company in the 90s,” she told Neos Kosmos “though he was in food and retail earlier than that He just saw the need for more Greek products.” Archie Tsoukras had a hard time finding Greek products so he looked to his own birthplace – Tyrnavos – where the oldest ouzo distillery is located and beginning with ouzo carefully and selectively building up his stock READ MORE: The merry drinks of Hellas: 10 unique Greek spirits and liqueurs Ms Wedderburn remembers the early days of Tirnavos Imports before the company was rebranded to HWS in 2020 to showcase not just the offerings of Archie’s birthplace but also the evolution and excellence of Greek wine before the area became the Greek precinct it is today only Nikos Quality Cakes existed in the area,” she said She remembers the spike in sales during the Athens Olympics in 2004 when people who couldn’t get to Athens chose to “travel” through wine it’s not just the taste but the entire experience that matters – for her it’s an opportunity to focus on lifestyle A few commented (during the masterclass) that it was light in comparison to Australian Shiraz but you need to understand Greek culture and life to appreciate it,” she said explaining that Australians go for “bigger bolder shirazes” because they are in a rush people don’t drink at home alone but prefer to socially drink with friends People will conversate and bond over a bottle of wine with meze You don’t have people drinking ouzo and tsipouro without food The whole idea is that you savour every sip You don’t just rush and have a glass of ouzo.” READ MORE: Perfect pairings: Moschofilero Ms Wedderburn said that COVID is making people more mindful and more inclined to savour the drinking process rather than rush through a bottle “People in Australia prefer Stelvin caps than corks because the wine is to be consumed immediately whereas in Greece and other parts of Europe they continue to use corks and one of the reasons is because they put the wine in their cellar to keep for later They are hesitant to change this as they feel it cheapens the wine,” she said Ms Wedderburn sees that Australians are seeing the benefits of enjoying a good bottle opposed to guzzling it down “a lot of non-Greek wine drinkers appreciate Greek wine” adding that HWS aims to “change a palate at a time” “Sales have gone up,” she said adding that people are these days more inclined to splurge on a $50 bottle of wine “I think it is because people are craving to try something new They are not able to travel or go out to experience something new and because they are not able to spend money on a holiday they’ll spend it on good food and wine,” she said Each guest was sent a parcel with instructions In an effort to win over a few more palates HWS took part in events cofinanced by the EU and Greece for the promotion of Moschato Mavro Tyrnavou but thinking outside the square it was decided to offer people the chance to taste the wine via online events held with Epocha and with

face an urgent shortage of animal feed nearly 100,000 young animals drowned in the floods of Thessaly and parts of Central Greece central to Greek agricultural and livestock economy told the Praktoreio FM 104.9 radio of the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) that the livestock breeders in the area managed to save 25,000 sheep that are roaming in unpenned areas and are facing severe issues in feed “We managed to stop the (flood) waters at five meters in front of the first houses in Ambelonas and Vryotopos,” he said and tsipouro remains isolated since roads to major supply city Larissa The only road leading away from Tyrnavos is north leading to Elassona and Kozani and a long way around to Larissa “Large livestock units were destroyed and it is unfortunately the time of productive process – sheep are now starting to give birth,” Kokouras said they need immediately animal feed and spaces to be transferred to They are now held within parks and areas in Ambelonas Some livestock associations from other regions responded and sent us [feed] But 25,000 sheep are a lot – we have as many sheep as we do people stressing that “animals that survived the floods are facing death by starvation.” while the wastewater-processing plant went out of order as the water is two meters high the storm and floods did not destroy everything National Association of Livestock Breeders secretary general Nikos Palaskas told ANA-MPA radio Praktoreio “We are now threatened by infections from the dead animals the process of collecting them is taking a long time It is very difficult to approach the livestock units still under water they throw animal feed down by air,” the farming official said The bodies of the dead animals have reached the sea at Platamonas “and it is unknown what people will face when the waters receded there’s no return” from the destruction He added that the government measures for those affected by the extreme weather are not enough To build a livestock unit to you need at least 1 million euros The assistance of 5,000-6,000 euros is not enough even for a week’s animal feed Whoever has animals that survived will have to face the winter and those who lost them will replace them with difficulty,” Palaskas added Fire Brigade: A total of 4,564 people rescued or taken to safety in Thessaly floods A total of 4,564 people in the flood-stricken areas of Thessaly have been rescued or taken to places of safety between 7:00 in the morning on September 5 and 8:00 in the morning on September 12 the Fire Brigade’s operations centre received 10,874 calls

epilogue is being written in the case of the disappearance of 39-year-old Vasilis Kalogiros The body found today February 17 in advanced decomposition in Tyrnavos near Pinios bore clothes that matched those worn by the 39-year-old when he disappeared On the hill where the body was found was the mother of Vassilis Kalogeros who identified the clothes worn by her son She also said that the shoes and glasses were the same DNA identification is expected to be carried out a citizen alerted the police that he saw a body in the area of Pera Chora and when police arrived they found the body on a hill in the area The body was in advanced decomposition and identification was very difficult had the same clothes and shoes as the missing Basil The authorities contacted his family and the very difficult process of identification through the clothes found on the body ensued His mother even went to the spot where her 39-year-old son’s body was found What the man who alerted the authorities about the body tells protothema.gr The only man missing in the area is 39-year-old Vasilis whose traces have been missing since New Year’s Eve the body found has yet to be identified and authorities are expected to contact his family The identification process in the first stage will be done through the clothes found on the body Stelios Spanogiannis is the man who first alerted the authorities to the discovery of a body on the mountain and described to protothema.gr how it was found: “For about 4-5 days the dogs were barking At some point today one of our workers went to see why they were barking one of our colleagues asked one of us when one of the dogs was barking he called me and said there was a dead body there I immediately called the authorities and together with the policemen we came and went to the spot so that the worker could point it out to us His clothes are logically the clothes of the man they have been looking for for a long time.” The protothema.gr also spoke to the Mayor of Tyrnavos saying: “In the early hours of the morning we were alerted that there is a body the body was in advanced decomposition and what we know is that he is wearing a blue jacket.” The chronicle of the disappearance of Vassilis Kalogeros the 39-year-old had gone out for a walk near the banks of the Pinios River he was last seen in the area around the Pinios River and his family has said he did not take his mobile phone with him that afternoon no evidence has so far been found to shed light on the cause of the disappearance Private investigator Giorgos Tsukalis – who was appointed by the family – presenting a profile of the missing psychologist had said he was a man who He is serious with a very structured character and let’s not forget that he is a psychologist which means that even if he had a problem he could handle it The suicide thing doesn’t play into anything He’s very close to his family and it’s a very serious family.” Follow en.protothema.gr on Google News and be the

dead on a hill in Perachora when a livestock farmer who owns a stable in the area discovered the 39-year-old’s body in an advanced state of decomposition in a rocky location with relatively difficult access The area was sealed off by the police and two forensic experts arrived to thoroughly investigate the site where the 39-year-old was found His parents were also present and identified his clothing the search for Vasilis Kalogirou came to a tragic and painful end for his loved ones was found nearly 12 kilometers from the initial search area which had been focused around the Pineios River following his disappearance on December 30 he was discovered in a rocky area on a hill in Perachora Authorities now need to determine how he ended up in such a remote location far from where search efforts had been concentrated No signs of struggle were found at the scene despite the advanced decomposition of the 39-year-old’s body there is no indication that he was shot or suffered visible injuries from a sharp object there is also no evidence suggesting that the body was moved from another location Local livestock farmers mentioned that their dogs had been barking persistently for the past five days which ultimately led to the discovery of the 39-year-old’s lifeless body Many of the emerging questions are expected to be answered by the specialized forensic examination and the toxicology reports that will follow These will determine how and when Vasilis Kalogirou lost his life and under what circumstances the police must solve the mystery of how his body ended up so far from the Pineios River A few hours after Vasilis Kalogirou’s mother identified his clothing on the discovered body hinting at foul play in her son’s death But you who abandoned me in the mountains among wild animals along with your heartless master—what kind of end will you meet?” wrote the Head Prosecutor of the Court of Appeals of Larissa Farmers in Larissa remain at the roadblocks with agricultural machinery stationed at the Gyrotoni junction and other points as their protests continue a pan-Thessalian meeting is set to take place in Tyrnavos to decide their next steps and the forms of action to pursue their demands they have already decided to hold a rally with tractors in the center of Larissa and have called on all farmers Farmers’ Protests: Preveza Farmers Take to the Streets TodayAn agricultural rally is scheduled for today at the Vonitsa–Lefkada junction by the Federation of Agricultural Associations of Preveza Prefecture Among the farmers’ main demands are reducing production costs full compensation (100%) for damages caused by natural disasters with the participation of Preveza farmers and their machinery following a decision made at the Pan-Epirotic meeting of Agricultural Associations in Arta Farmers Strengthen Roadblocks in Karditsa and TrikalaAt the same time the Trikala farmers’ roadblock at the Megalochori junction is being reinforced daily following a call from the Federation of Agricultural Associations “Spring.” The Trikala Workers’ Center issued a statement expressing its solidarity and support for what it called the “just struggle” of the hard-working farmers the Coordinating Committee of the E65 roadblock in Karditsa has issued an announcement urging farmers still in the villages to join the roadblock “to strengthen our fight further and enhance the prospects of our victory.” Authorities are trying to solve the baffling case of the death of 39-year-old Vasilis Kalogirou, whose body was found on Monday (17/2) on a hill in Perachora, Tyrnavos This is the key question investigators are grappling with according to the initial forensic assessment no wounds from a sharp object or firearm were found on the body that could indicate criminal activity nor were there any signs at the scene suggesting that the body had been dragged there the location where the body was discovered—approximately 12 km away from the original search area—raises reasonable questions inaccessible spot where the 39-year-old had no apparent reason to be the items he had with him did not justify a decision to travel such a long distance Could someone have lured him there under false pretenses That is one of the questions under investigation See images from Tyrnavos and the location where the body was found: officers from the Larisa Security Department are attempting to reconstruct the 39-year-old’s route using testimonies and security cameras to determine how he ended up there Search efforts at the scene are continuing today to locate any potential evidence that could shed light on the case These tests will determine how and when Vasilis Kalogirou died and under what circumstances It is worth noting that just hours after Vasilis Kalogirou’s mother identified his clothing on the recovered body she made a Facebook post hinting at foul play I have found Paradise and can now see Christ But you—who threw me to the mountains among the wild beasts along with your heartless boss—what kind of end will you meet?” wrote Sofia Apostolaki Chief Prosecutor of the Larisa Court of Appeals Authorities believe that the location where 39-year-old Vasilis Kalogirou was found in Perachora, Tyrnavos has yielded all the evidence it could offer who participated in the psychologist’s autopsy Now, investigations are focusing on identifying the most likely route Vasilis Kalogirou took to reach the steep slope of the hill where he was found dead Three recording devices from security cameras were located along this suspected route Police sources told protothema.gr that the most probable route he followed was along the banks of the Pineios River This is a rural area that inherently provides little evidence forensic laboratories will attempt to retrieve footage from these recording devices to determine whether the 39-year-old appears in any of the videos a request has been made to lift the telecommunications privacy in the broader area during the period of his disappearance This process will reveal who was near the location where Vasilis Kalogirou’s body was found his medical file has been requested to examine the history of his prescribed medications A forensic analysis of his fingernails found no foreign DNA a stir was caused by a letter requesting recusal accusing her of a brutal character assassination via the internet it is not certain whether the Larissa Prosecutor’s Office will grant her request the first results from the laboratory tests are expected as the toxicological analysis will have been completed The histological tests may reach the authorities’ hands a week later helping to complete the puzzle of this case the three members of the 39-year-old’s family are expected to testify providing information on individuals they suspect of murdering Vasilis Kalogirou testimonies continue from residents of Perachora the area where the 39-year-old was found dead
