Other Site Characteristics
| The described site is a coastal zone located in the southern part of the Ileia Prefecture and comprises the pine forest of Strofilia, the lake Kaiafa, the dunes extending between the drained lake Agoulinitsa and the village Kakovatos, the hill Elliniko (or Stavros), the archaeological site of Kaiafa area, the caves of Anygrides Nymphes, and the curative spring of Kaiafa. The dunes occurring at the beach of Kaiafa form two parallel lines. The first one is characterized by the plant community Agropyretum mediterraneum. In the second line Greek fixed dunes with Euphorbia terracina and Silene nicaensis are developed. At the beach between Kaiafa and Zacharo dunes, with the plant community of Ammophila arenaria are developed. Behind them Greek fixed dunes are again developed. The forest of Strofilia consists mainly of Pinus halepensis and Pinus pinea, and is unique in shape and size. Some clusters of Platanus orientalis and Ceratonia siliqua as well as bushes of Juniperus phoenicea, Quercus coccifera, Pistacia lentiscus, Myrtus communis, Cercis siliquastrum, Arbutus unedo, Erica manipuliflora and Phillyrea media etc. cover a significant area. The lake Kaiafa is a natural water ecosystem, a significant wetland with an area of about 200 ha. It is located behind the forest and is connected to the sea by a canal. Around the lake dense and extensive aquatic associations with Phragmites australis and the endangered species Cladium mariscus are developed. Close to the reed belts, stands of Scirpetum maritimi occur. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The combination of coastal forest, dunes and lake in this study site consists an important ecosystem with a rich flora and fauna. At the beach between Kaiafa and Zacharo, dunes in good state are developed. The adventitive xenophyte of tropical origin, Saccharum spontaneum has recently been found in the area. The reed belts, Tamarix forests and the stands with mats and the endangered aquatic species Cladium mariscus are very significant biotopes for food and quarters for aquatic birds. The value of these biotopes has become more significant after the draining of the coastal lake Agoulinitsa which existed just to the north until the early 1970's. There are some non-bird vertebrate animal taxa recorded in this area. Some of them are mentioned in Annex II of the Directive 92/43/EEC. Caretta caretta has found a very good nesting beach where a number of 53-99 nests per reproductive season have been counted; this value corresponds to 7 nests/km/season and it exceeds the figure of 5 nests/km/season which is considered the lower limit for the characterization of a sandy beach as important for the nesting of Caretta caretta. Some Other Important Species have also been evaluated according to the motivation system used in sections 3.3. All are protected by the Bern Convention and for this reason they are indicated by the motivation C. The snake Natrix natrix is marked with motivation D since it is included in the species lists of the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. This area includes one of the most important nesting sites of Caretta caretta turtle in Greece and in the eastern Mediterranean. The Caretta caretta belongs with other five species of reptiles region (Emys orbicularis, Mauremys caspi). |
