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

- 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)

Other Site Characteristics
| The site comprises of the north and eastern parts of island Paros, the surrounding rocky islets of Paros, the southern peninsula of Antiparos and the islets Despotiko and Strongylo, at the centre of the Cyclades islands (Aegean sea). The small islands are characterised by rocky lands which are covered by phrygana (dominated by Genista acanthoclada and Cistus spp.), dense mid-elevation matorral of Juniperus phoenicea (also on sandy dunes) and a garrigue with Quercus coccifera a low -not exceeding 1 m-, grazed, sparsely covered Quercus coccifera garrigue, not including the species Ampelodesmus). There are some abandoned old cultivation which are now recovered by phrygana (Sarcopoterium spinosum and Thymus capitatus).The site comprises of the north and eastern parts of island Paros, the surrounding rocky islets of Paros, the southern peninsula of Antiparos and the islets Despotiko and Strongylo, at the centre of the Cyclades islands (Aegean sea). This site engulfs the marine area surrounding the southern Paros island, starting to the east from Cape Voreino, coming all arround the south coast line ending at Agios Nikolaos to the west side of Paros. The marine area to the north extends 1 n.m. arround the small islands Filidi, Foinisses, nisida Fourlos and Gaidouronisi, comes arround the coastline of the right northern arm of Paros till the small island Tetartonisi in Kefalos Bay. Similarly, the site includes the marine zone around thw west, south and east sides of Antiparos island, from Cape Kalogeros, extending about 1 n.m. arround the small island Strongyli, till the islet Ag. Antonios at the east side of Antiparos. The coastal area is in general low-lying with few eroding rocky cliffs, interspersed with sandy beaches and numerous small permanent or seasonal coastal wetlands. Large islets are covered by sparce maquis shrubland and phrygana (dominated by Genista acanthoclada and Cistus spp.), dense mid-elevation matorral of Juniperus phoenicea (also on sandy dunes) and a garrigue with Quercus coccifera a low -not exceeding 1 m-, grazed, sparsely covered Quercus coccifera garrigue, not including the species Ampelodesmus). There are some abandoned old cultivation which are now recovered by phrygana (Sarcopoterium spinosum and Thymus capitatus). Certain parts still hold juniper shrublands extending up to the sandy beaches. Smaller islets are mainly covered by phrygana. Human constructions or private houses have been built on some of them. The marine environment is typically shallow, not exceeding 100 m in depth, with extensive stretches of sandy seafloor and small sheltered coves with Posidonia beds. The site favours marine mammals, including all dolphin species, namely the Striped, Common Bottle-nosed and Short-beaked Common Dolphin, as well as the Mediterranean Monk Seal.Falco eleonorae population values are based on LIFE - Nature «Δράσεις προστασίας για τον Μαυροπετρίτη Falco eleonorae στην Ελλάδα» (LIFE03 NAT/GR/000091) |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The site is important for migratory waterbirds and breeding raptors and seabirds.he site is important for migratory waterbirds and breeding raptors and seabirds. Species of concern include Falco eleonorae, Falco peregrinus, Larus cachinnans, Larus audouinii, Calonectris diomedea, Puffinus yelkouan, Phalacrocorax aristotelis and Hydrobates pelagicus.This site is important for the breeding populations of the 5 above seabird species. The Phalacrocorax aristotelis breeds along the rocky coast of Paros and Antiparos but also on most of the surrounding islets. The nesting sites of the breeding population sparsely located along the coast. Post- breeding congregations have been recorded in the coastal waters of Paros and Antiparos.Breeding of the Larus audouinii was recorded here on two uninhabited islets. The breeding population trend was relatively stable but the last years the colony size declined drastically.Mixed colonies of both Calonectris diomedea and Puffinus yelkouan have been identified on two different islets. The area holds one of the most important Calonectris diomedea colonies in the Cyclades and a smaller but significant Puffinus yelkouan population. The nesting habitat of these colonies is characterised by weathered cliffs with substantial halophytic vegetation and deep, vertical cracks and crevices created amongst huge fallen boulders. Both species forage in large numbers in the waters surrounding Paros and Antiparos. In addition to the above, the site also holds the second known colony of the Hydrobates pelagicus in Greece. Till now the species had been frequently observed in the wider marine area around Paros. |
