Other Site Characteristics

Limestone is the main element of the geological substrate and in combination with the intense inclination of coastal hills and mountains forms an impressive and strong relief. The site is characterized by the alternation of cliffs with small alluvial plains and the presence of small villages well incorporated, from an aesthetic point of view, within the landscape. The presence of artificial forest stands with Pinus halepensis must be emphasized. The areas, characterized by unproductive soil, have bauxite deposits and established docking facilities.

4.2 Quality and importance

The forests with Juniperus phoenicea are very well represented and distributed. Taking into consideration the intense inclination of the relief, their slow growth and the difficulties of reestablishment of the vegetation on hard limestone, we realise their special ecological and aesthetic value. Their protection and sustainable management would be important for the future development of the area. The formations of Euphorbia dendroides in certain areas combine with the phrygana communities and create a mosaic of high ecological and aesthetic value. The remnants of the ancient Quercus macrolepis forest have been degraded and have a limited distribution. Special protection of the area is required. Concerning the vertebrate fauna of this site, some taxa, other than birds, are known to occur here (see section 3.2). Among them, mammalian and reptilian species are included in the lists of Annex II of the E.E.C. Directive 92/43. Of these, the monk seal Monachus monachus, is a priority species of this directive.The remaining taxa are evaluated as Other Important Species according to the motivation system used in section 3.3. Some of the Other Important Species taxa are protected by the Bern Convention (motivation C) whereas, all taxa are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981, thus being eligible for the D motivation. The invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation C are protected by the Bern Convention.Chiliadou springsA very large and important spring creates a channeled wetland that flows throughout the year. One of the most important sites for the species Valencia letourneuxi. This particular population is now systematically identified as Valencia robertae (Barbieri et al. 2015). Population density and habitat in the area are excellent compared to other distribution areas of the species (Giakoumi et. Al., 2006). This area is extremely important since it is one of the few where the foreign species Gambusia holbrooki is absent - species wich is a serious competitor (Kalogianni et al. 2006). The area is important populations of Pelasgus stymphalicus Economidichthys pygmaeus species and of Directive 92/43. The area is extremely vulnerable due to the water abstraction from the spring and a specific management plan is required.
