NATURA 2000 Network in Crete an Altitude of 1,700M
MOUNTAINOUS AND INLAND SPECIAL AREAS OF INSULAR, COASTAL AND WETLAND AREAS CONSERVATION AND SPECIAL PROTECTION AREAS The coastal and wetland areas established in the NATURA 2000 Crete’s main characteristic is its three mountain massifs (the Lefka Network are entirely different in appearance. Low rocky expanses Ori, Psiloritis and Dikti), consisting mainly of limestone ranges with covered mainly in phrygana alternate with long beaches (ideal nesting a variety of habitats and high biodiversity. The heavily sites for Caretta Caretta Loggerhead sea turtles), dominated by saline karstified limestone terrain features resistant plant species, which occur on the sandy coasts. The steep numerous mountain plains, dolines, limestone cliffs are home to numerous chasmophytes, many of which gorges and caves, all characteristic are endemic, while sea caves even provide a refuge for Mediterranean of the Cretan monk seals (Monachus monachus). The rivers in the west and torrents landscape. in the east create estuary zones of varying sizes, rich in aquatic riparian plants, ideal for hosting of rare waterbirds, as well as characteristic habitats such as forests of Cretan palm (Phoenix theophrasti). The above mountain chains are covered with relatively sparse forests Crete’s satellite islands are of considerable aesthetic and biological Development and Promotion of the of Calabrian pine (Pinus brutia), cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), value.

Nature Park of Sitia Is on the Easternmost Edge of Crete, in the Municipality of Sitia
This publication was designed by the Natural History Museum of Crete for the Municipal- ity of Sitia, due to the implementation of the action 2.3.1 “Development of an Ecotouristic guide” of the project “Geotourism and local development (GEOTOPIA)”, funded 80% by the European Union and by 20% by national funds from Greece and Cyprus, through the Greece-Cyprus 2007 - 2013 cross-border cooperation programme. “GEOTOPIA” refers to the collaboration of two mountainous and insular areas, the Munici- pality of Sitia in Crete and the mountain Troodos in Cyprus, which are characterized by their wealthy natural, geological and cultural environment, by underdevelopment and depopu- lation of the hinterland, and by the depreciation of their landscape, aiming to promote their natural and cultural environment, to develop geotouristic activities and finally, establish a geopark.

Chapter 11 Agia Galini to Preveli
11: AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI CHAPTER 11 AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI To the west of the flat beach of Dibaki1 the hills again come down to the sea, and between them the valley which drains the Amari valley, the Platypotamos, debouches. At its mouth, near the site of the ancient Sulia, is the new settlement of Agia Galini, formed by people who have come down in recent years from Melabes [elsewhere Melambes]. The Mesara plain and the Amari valley both need a port. Matala is too small. The Minoan port to the north of it is now of no use.2 Boats can land either at Kokkinos Pyrgos on the Dibaki beach or at Agia Galini. Neither of these is more than an open roadstead, and sometimes one is used, sometimes the other according to the weather. The official name of the little village is Agia Galini, Αγία Γαλήνη, but popularly, Xanthoudidis told me, it is called Agios Galinios.3 A native of the mother village, Melambes, whom I met at Hersonnesos where he was acting as local justice of the peace, told me the legendary story of the name. 9/XII/17. The Empress Eudocia (Athenais), the wife of Theodosios II, had a quarrel with Pulcheria and was banished to the αγίους τόπους (the Holy Land). A storm arose and she landed at the site of Agia Galini and founded a convent of nuns dedicated to the Virgin. When this was done the storm ceased and so the place got its name. The Empress then left for the Holy Land.4 A little way to the east of the village and on the west side of the river near its mouth lies the cemetery. -
Introduction Acknowledgements
10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains. -
Ecotourism Guide to NATURA 2000 Network Areas on Crete
Ecotourism guide to NATURA 2000 network areas on Crete Be part of it, protect it! Operational Programme for Crete and the Aegean Islands Co-financed by Greece and the European Union Preface Dear friends, The past, present and future of Crete are inextricably bound up with its exceptional natural environment. Rich biodiversity, a significant number of endemic species, a variety of ecosystems and landscapes of outstanding natural beauty are what characterize our natural heritage. In acknowledging the value of our natural environment’s multiple functions as regards healthy living and quality of life, as well as in implementing our vision of sustainable development, Crete Regional Authority has made the protection, sound management and promotion of our island’s nature its top priority. The NATURA 2000 Network protected areas have a significant role to play in realising that aim, given that they act as key reserves for nature conservation throughout Europe. In publishing this “Ecotourism guide to NATURA 2000 network areas on Crete” we present the NATURA 2000 areas on Crete, highlighting their characteristics and stressing both their value and their prospects for growth. Sculpted by time and six thousand years of human history, our island’s nature is a common good each of us can enjoy, while also being under the obligation to protect it. We can only hope that through this guide we will all come to better know the NATURA 2000 protected areas, and understand the need to protect them.

Inside the engine of your car the Ethyl fluid controls combustion. It makes gasoline de- liver more power and less harmful, wasteful heat. That is why Ethyl makes your car run at its best every minute and at the same time saves money on engine wear-and-tear. THE NEW higher Btandard of quality—adopted by every oil company that sells Ethyl Gasoline —makes it an even greater value than before. It widens still further Ethy l's margin of superiority over regular gasoline. UST as you get more enjoyment from a football game when you have good seats—so you get more pleasure and more value from your car when you use Ethyl Gasoline. Ethyl develops all FREEZING MORNINGS de- mand Ethyl's quick -starting pow- er. Ethyl is the correct winter fuel the extra performance of your motor. It doesn't call time out —the correct fuel for every season of the year because the gasoline with which Ethyl fluid is mixed is for warming up on cold mornings or overheating on long specially refined to fit the weather in which it will be used. drives. It's the all-season, all-round, all-American gasoline. GASOLINE that is to be mixed L with Ethyl must pass tests for all 1 the qualities of good gasoline. Then Ethyl fluid is added in prescribed quantity to make that gasoline de- iver its power smoothly—evenly— safely — bringing out the best per- formance of your motor. -
