Landscape
The geological history is also portrayed in the
characteristic area landscape. Wind and water have
chiseled the diverse rock formations forming steep
slopes and canyons, rocky peaks and 'twin
formations' rendering a unique landscape. As an
example we mention the location close to the village
Kotyli, a 300m vertical cliff eloquently called
'Haros' and 'Ontria', a small mountain formation in
southeastern Gramos. It is a wide limestone plateau
with dolines (limestone sinkholes) surrounded by
steep rock 'walls' which emerged from the bottom of
the sea as a result of tectonic force pressure.
