The mountains of the Peloponnese covered by this site are, in alphabetical order:

   Mt Chelmos
   Mt Chelmos(2355m), also called Mt Aroania, is located in the northern Peloponnese and is
   characterized by a variety of geological substrata and soil types. The main elements of its
   landscape include well forested slopes with Abies cephalonica and Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana
   forests, steep calcareous cliffs, the Mavrolimni lake(2050m) of glacial origin and the
   impressive Styx valley associated with a small, wet cave and a waterfall at its base.
   Erosion of limestone has mainly contributed to the formation of a strong relief with steep
   calcareous cliffs and screes.

   Mt Erymanthos
   The mountain range of Erymanthos is the highest one of an extended mountainous area in
   north-west Peloponnese, consisting of several peaks and characterized by a multifarious relief
   with many springs, valleys, plateaus and gorges. From the springs of Olenos summit(2221m),
   two small rivers are formed crossing the two biggest gorges of Erymanthos. These gorges are
   very impressive with several spectacular waterfalls.
   The geological substrate is composed of plate limestones with layers of ceratolith and flysch.
   The northern slopes have Abies cephalonica forests, the south slopes are covered by
   Abies cephalonica and Juniperus foetidissima. The western slopes have extended calcareous
   cliffs.

   Mt Kyllini
   Mt Kyllini(2374m), also known as Mt Ziria, lies east of Mt Chelmos separated from it by the
   wide Feneos basin.
   Mt Kyllini is characterized by a rich flora and relatively high percentage of endemism.
   We hope to explore the mountains of the north Peloponnese more frequently in the near future.

   Mt Parnon
   The mountain range of Mt Parnon, or Mt Parnonas, is composed mainly of calcareous substrate
   and it is one of the oldest areas of the Peloponnese and was isolated for a long period, like
   Mt Taygetos.
   On its slopes conifer forests of Abies cephalonica and Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana thrive, and it
   is the only European site for Juniperus drupacea. Castanea forests are also represented here
   in good condition and extensive areas.

  Mt Taygetos
   Mt Taygetos is situated in the central peninsula of the 3 southern peninsulas of the
   Peloponnese.
   Seen from the plain of Sparta, the Taygetos are a magnificent range of steep jagged limestone
   and dolomite peaks covered in snow until late spring rising in the south to the conical summit
   of Profitis Ilias at 2407m. Lower forested foothills of semi-metamorphic rock surround the
   main massif and rise steeply out of the plain.
   These are pierced on their eastern flanks by deep gorges through which the snow melt water
   floods down into the Evrotas river in the plain of Sparta. There are at least 6 gorges which
   are of botanical interest.
