Back to top3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them
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

- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- 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 site includes Iraklia island and its surrounding islets (Mikros and Megalos Avelas and Venetiko) situated south of Naxos island, and Makares islets, a complex of small islets situated between Naxos and Donousa islands. Representative steep rocks exits at Iraklia island, while most of the islets are rocky and relatively bare. The climate is typical mediterranean with stormy winters and hot, dry summers. Iraklia has a low number of inhabitants which has moreover shown a decreasing trend during the last years. Iraklia was supplied with electrical power in1984, whilst there are no organised discharge units. The few inhabitants are occupied with fishing, cultivations, beekeeping and animal breeding. During the last years tourism activities are developing at increasing rates.The marine area extends 1 n.m. surrounding Donousa island, including 1 n.m. marine extension around the islet group of Makares in the east of Naxos.The waters are generally shallow, deepening to more than 200 m in eastern Donousa.This site also comprises the north-eastern part of Amorgos island and the surrounding islets Psalida, Gramvoussa, Nikouria, Mikro and Megalo Viokastro, Kramvonisi and Petalidi. The maximum altitude is 821m. a.s.l. It is a rocky place with a lot of inland cliffs and sea cliffs. |
4.2 Quality and importance
This is an important site for breeding seabirds and breeding and passage raptors associated with coastal cliffs and species associated with cliffs and scrubs. Species of concern include: Puffinus yelkouan, Gyps fulvus, Falco eleonorae and Phalacrocorax aristotelis.The Phalacrocorax aristotelis population breeds on the coastline of Donousa and Makares.. Species of concern also include Larus audouinii. |
