No habitat types are reported for the site
3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
- Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles

- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting, (see reference portal)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present

Other Site Characteristics
| The examined area lies north of the town of Ioannina, in the region of Zagori. It was established as a National Park in1973. The core zone comprises the Vikos gorge which is about 10 km long and has vertical rocky cliffs many hundreds ofmetres high. It begins between the villages Monodendri and Koukouli and ends near the village of Vikos. At the bottom ofthe gorge runs a torrent that, near the exit, becomes a permanent river (Voidomatis). The peripheral zone is larger andincludes the Aoos ravine, the area of the villages of Mikro Papingo and Megalo Papingo, as well as a narrow zone aroundthe Vikos gorge. The ravine of Aoos lies between the mountains Trapezitsa and Gkamila and is formed from the RiverAoos. It begins very close to Konitsa and is 10 km long, 8 km of which are included in the National Park. The northern sideof Gamila consists of vertical slopes and high peaks rising above the Aoos ravine. Small mountain streams run from thepeaks down to the River Aoos. In the area, there is also an interesting small valley called "Laka tou Tsoumani" and, higherup, a small permanent mountain lake called "Drakolimni". Various types of vegetation cover the examined area. There areriparian forests of Salix, Alnus, Populus and Platanus, sclerophylous schrubs and woods of either deciduous and coniferoustrees or mixed woods. The variability of deciduous trees in the mixed woodland zone is surprising. Ostrya carpinifolia,Fraxinus excelsior, Carpinus betulus, Carpinus orientalis, Juglans regia, Tilia tomentosa, several Acer species (A.campestris, A. pseudoplatanus etc.) and many other trees cover considerable areas. Formations of Aesculushippocastanum, Juglans regia and Fraxinus excelsior occur in the narrow, warm, humid shaded ravines and abrupt slopesof the beech zone. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| This region is one of the most important ecosystems because of its rare flora and fauna. The landscape is probably the most magnificent in Greece. The geographical isolation of the area, the relatively small human influence and the great variation of biotopes and microclimatic conditions favour the growth of different plant species. So, the area is a place where many rare plants are gathered and conserved; some of them are considered threatened taxa. The ravine of Aoos remains in nearly virgin condition and in its extensive forests we can find every kind of Greek tree, as well as more rare plants and animals than in Vikos gorge. |
