A Few Words

Psiloritis is not only a geological archive of millions of years but also an emblematic destination with centuries of history and traditions. The geological processes that shaped the mountain’s relief—such as tectonic activity (faults = fractures in the crust) and karstic erosion (dissolution of limestone by water)— also influenced human activity, as they determined raw materials, traditions, architecture, and even the way of life of the inhabitants.
