Skiadi
Skiadi
Skiadi is a huge mushroom made of rock sitting right in the centre of a bare plateau!
History
Several petrifications have formed this mushroom-like rock (together with the elements over centuries) and have carved it so, so that it gives shade to hikers under the heat. The soft rocks of the base have been eroded and remaining only is the hard rock of the summit.
Geological Location
Skiadi is a rare natural monument in the world.
"The area should be classified as a geological site and be integrated into the Atlas of the geological monuments of the Aegean Sea!" [George Legakis writer-folklorist]
