Mount Parnon – Cape Maleas Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 2025, in Greece. Located in the southeastern Peloponnese, the Mount Parnon – Cape Maleas Biosphere Reserve covers mountains, forests, wetlands, and islands. Almost a quarter of the biosphere reserve is marine waters. From the cedar forests of Parnon, the only natural stands in Europe, to the petrified forest of Agios Nikolaos, the Evrotas Delta, lagoons, gorges, and the turquoise coves of Elafonisos, it presents a mosaic where geology, biodiversity, and culture have coexisted for millennia.
