Physical Geographical Study of the Island of Kefalonia–The role of geotopes
Summary:
This dissertation deals with the physio-geographic features of the island of Kefalonia. In addition, reference is made to the geotopes of the island. Specifically, their characteristics are analyzed, while at the same time a connection is attempted with the coastal vulnerability of Kefalonia, which is analyzed in a separate chapter.
The dissertation consists of six chapters. In the 1st chapter, reference is made to the geographical location of the island, and the study area is analyzed in terms of its physical-geographical characteristics. The 2nd chapter analyzes the demographic and economic characteristics of Kefalonia.
