The renowned Strofylia forest is situated in the north-western section of the protected region and includes the most extensive Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) forest in Greece and one of the largest in Europe.
Strofylia forest has a total area of 2,200 hectares, covers a coastal forest strip with an average width of approximately 1,250 meters with small or large spaces and clearings. There is stagnant water with natural or artificial canals on its eastern and southern borders, which contribute in forming a sequence of wetlands (with fresh water and brackish water) and terrestrial habitats. This sequence creates an ecosystem with a huge biodiversity.
Strofylia forest is comprised of three dominant tree species, the Pinus pinea, the Pinus halepensis and the tame oak (Quercus macrolepis). The Pinus halepensis occupies the largest area and mainly appears in umbrella shapes along the sandy beach and dunes, while the interior of the forest is comprised of mixed clumps with the Pinus pinea as the dominant species. The Pinus pinea occupies a smaller area and is mainly found in the eastern section of the forest. Finally, the tame oak (Quercus macrolepis) occupies a very small area in the eastern section of the forest and appearing alone or in mixed clumps with the Pinus pinea. The Pinus pinea that is known for its edible fruit is a sensitive species with restricted Mediterranean coverage. One often encounters it in the low lands near the sea, since it has a preference for sandy or sandy clay soils. strofylianationalpark.gr/the-forest-of-strofylia
