Περίληψη:
The Cycladic landscape is characterized by landforms of natural beauty
and rarity. Landforms resulting from differential erosion, weathering,
tectonics, drainage network, sea level changes, and depositional
processes can contribute to the development of geotourism in the area.
This can be achieved by supporting conservation, protection and
promotion of the geo-environment and nature, educating students,
residents, and visitors. The aim of this work is to develop an inventory
of the main geomorphosites of Paros and Naxos islands by assessing their
scientific and additional values, using qualitative and quantitative
criteria. Our results show that, besides the high scientific interest of
the 75 geomorphosites, most are also characterized by a high ecological
value and can potentially lead to a significant increase in the islands'
tourism. The results of this work aim at raise awareness on the
geomorphological heritage of central Cyclades and provide a basis for
their promotion, protection, and management.
