GAVDOS, ITS LANDSCAPE & GEOLOGY

Typical vegetation on its limestone soil is pine, cedar and juniper. Walking on the old paths is attractive due to the silence and sounds of insects, the almost permanent views over the Lybian sea to the south and the Cretan sea to the north and moderate steepness of the hills.
