Greek Mountain Flora
This site
is featuring the mountain flora of Greece by way of photo albums of, mostly,
flowering plants found in the major mountain ranges of Greece. It
also contains a section of
interesting lowland species.
It comes as a result of our stay in Greece from September 2003
until September 2005,
during which we explored most major Greek mountain ranges. This was
done as a preparation
for the small scale tours we offer for alpine and mountain flora
enthusiasts. For details of
these tours, please visit:
Adventurous Alpines
Although far from complete, it gives a good impression of the
beauty of the Greek mountain
flora which still can be seen today. In the years to come, we hope
to extend this site with new
pictures and information.
We have 'divided' Greece in 5 sections, each section has its
mountain ranges and each mountain
range has its photo album. For example: Peloponnese»Mt
Parnon»Photo Album.
The exception is Crete, here all mountain and lowland pictures are
put together in one album.
All pictures are arranged chronologically.
You can either browse these pages or look for a specific plant,
mountain or place name in the
index of plant names or index of place names respectively. The
index of place names also
contains a list of pictures of butterflies, other insects and
animals.
You can also make a contribution by way of helping to identify one
or more of the unknown
species pictures, suggestions are highly appreciated !
We hope you enjoy your visit and welcome your comment and
suggestions, just feel free to
