Other Site Characteristics

The site includes a steep mountainous ridge running the island from north to south, as well as the coastal area from Vigla to the west side up to Moutsouna at the east side of the island. The passes between the highest mountains (903 - 999 m) are all 600 or more meters wide and the lower end, near the southernmost tip, reaches 420 meters. The rocky mountainous sides are covered with low phrygana and high or mesic maquis vegetation. The dominant plants of phrygana are Thymus capitatus, Genista acanthoclada, Cistus sp. and Sarcopoterium spinosum, while the shrubs of Calycotome villosa, Pistacia lentiscus, Quercus coccifera and trees of Juniperus phoenicea dominate in the maquis. Stands with trees of Kermes oak, some up to 9 m high, are scattered on the slopes of the mountains. There is also deciduous oak which occurs as large isolated trees or scattered stands near Philoti and Apeiranthos, as well as in some ravines of the eastern side. Trees of Platanus orientalis occur in some of the ravines, too. Throughout the area there are many narrow intermittent streams with an approximately total length of 32 km, as well as about 20 springs and many wells. In the coastal area of the site there is a large variety of alternating habitats. Small lagoons, mud flats, sea cliffs, sandy beaches, rocky shores, shingle beaches with perennial plants, as well as sand dunes with Juniperus oxycedrus ssp. macrocarpa. Some of the coastal plains, as in Agiassos and Kalandos, are composed largely of Quaternary alluvium. In the marine area there exist reefs, banks, shoals, as well as Posidonia oceanica from place to place.

4.2 Quality and importance

The large variety of habitat types in combination with the high diversity of flora and fauna make the whole area one of the most important sites in the central Aegean Sea. The island of Naxos lies on a main migratory route over the central Aegean. Especially the southeastern side constitutes one of the most important stepping stones in the Cyclades area for migratory bird species. From many bird species which have been observed during the 20th century in the Cyclades, several species - migrants mainly - have been recorded on the site using the different habitats during their migration in order to rest and feed or to winter, while some bird species of the migrants definitely nest on the area. The site has been characterized as one of the EC Important Bird Areas. Botanically, the site is important because of the high diversity of the flora and the presence of local endemics and other rare interesting species such as Bolanthus graecus. The high diversity and the abundance of reptiles, moluscs and epigeic arthropods, some of which are local endemics, also characterize this site. In the marine area of the site multiple observations of the Mediterranean Monk Seals have been reported. OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVAITON D Plants: The following species are protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81). and are included in the IUCN Red Data List (1993) in the category of threatened plants: Corydalis integra (rare), Scutellaria naxensis (=Scutellaria albida ssp. velenovski), Tordylium hirtocarpum, Hymenonema graecum are protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81).
