Flora and fauna of Greece

Greece is an overly civilized and densely populated country, and for 8 thousand years there are few animals left here, most of all here are small animals, such as badgers, hares and porcupines. Large animals include bear, fox, wild boar, and lynx. The monk seal and the Mediterranean turtle are represented almost only in the Red Book. Snakes and lizards feel most at ease in Greece, this is facilitated by the hot climate.

Among the birds you can see partridges, kingfishers and wild ducks, and birds of prey such as eagles and owls are also found. Well, the marine world is represented by a wide variety of fish, molluscs and gulls on the shore. Despite the dry climate and the absence of large rivers, there are about six thousand plant species in Greece, moreover, about 750 of them can be found only in Greece. The pride of the local flora is the olive tree; in general, Greek olives are considered the best. But in fact, the bones of this tree in ancient times were brought here by seafarer Phoenicians.

In general, the country earns no less on citrus fruits and olives than on tourists and sailing. Since Greece is located in a subtropical climate, the corresponding plants, citrus fruits, and even the date palm grow here. Another pride of the country is the walnut, from the immature ones they make medicinal jam, and the mature ones, in addition to the usual use, are also allowed to use nut butter.

The pine forests on the Halkidiki peninsula feel good. Unfortunately, since antiquity, forests have been almost destroyed, and now they occupy no more than 12 percent of the entire territory. Oaks, cypresses, plane trees and pines feel great here. In addition, an unusual plant grows here - mastic pistachio, from the squeezed juice of this pistachio, a transparent varnish is obtained with which the paintings are covered.
