Other site characteristics

The site is situated at the south-west part of Rhodos island and includes the mountainous region of Attavyros (1217 m) and Akramytis, the area of Sianitis river, streams of Gadouras and Kontaris and the coastal area from Papagiorgis bay, to cape Armenistis and southwards to Apolakkias bay. The marine part covers 7% of the site. It is a region without many tourists, in contrast to other regions of the island. The more characteristic terrestrial habitats are the two types of coniferous wood ( the first with Pinus brutia and the second one with Cupressus sempervirens). The site also includes a broad area with maquis and phrygana. There are areas with garrigues of Quercus coccifera; the garrigues are grazed and low (up to 1 m diss-dominated Q. coccifera formations -not including the species Ampelodesmus- described by habitat type 5332). Very important are the two marine habitat types (the grasslands of Posidonia and the much smaller areas with reefs). Two other types of habitats, although covering a smaller area, are nevertheless noteworthy: the artificial lake and the inland caves.

4.2. QUALITY AND IMPORTANCE:

The streams of Gadouras and Kontaris are of great importance for the survival of the fish Ladigesocypris ghighii.

4.3. VULNERABILITY
Un-sustainable tourism development threatens the site. Fires are a threat for the coniferous woods.

4.4. SITE DESIGNATION:

4.5. OWNERSHIP
Public ownership. Private ownership.
