It is located at the easternmost edge of the central Pindos. It is densely forested for the most part. The vegetation of the area includes toadstools, dry limestone meadows, dry siliceous meadows and native coniferous forests. It is characterised by bare and rocky ridges and peaks, but also by wooded gorges and spruce forests. The vegetation and flora of rocky habitats such as cobbles, exposed rocky surfaces and steep cliffs are characteristic and interesting. On its eastern and western sides there are dense deciduous forests. Firs predominate higher up. The main human activities are agriculture, forestry, livestock farming and tourism. There is also a ski resort in the Pertouli Meadows.<\/p>\n\n\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"wp-block-citadela-blocks ctdl-item-gallery grid-type-1 layout-default size-small image-size-citadela_item_thumbnail image-vertical-align-top caption-under-image image-position-center-center default-image-height\"\r\n                        \t\r\n                        >\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"citadela-block-articles \">\r\n               \r\n                <div class=\"citadela-block-articles-wrap citadelaFancyboxGallery \">\r\n\r\n                                            <article class=\"citadela-directory-gallery-item has-caption\">\r\n                            <div class=\"item-content\" style=\"\">\r\n                                <div class=\"item-thumbnail\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kerketio-II-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"citadelaFancyboxElement\" data-gallery=\"item-gallery\" data-image-size=\"2190x2560\">\r\n                                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \r\n                                            class=\"item-image\"\r\n                                            src=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kerketio-II-1-640x480.jpg\"\r\n                                            width=\"640\"\r\n                                            height=\"480\"\r\n                                            srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kerketio-II-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Kerketio-II-1-480x360.jpg 480w\"\r\n                                            sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\r\n                                                                                            alt=\"Area NATURA 2000 (GR1440002)\"\r\n                                                                                        style=\"\"                                        \/>\r\n                                                                                    <div class=\"caption\">Area NATURA 2000 (GR1440002)<\/div>\r\n                                                                            <\/a>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/article>\r\n                        \r\n                                            <article class=\"citadela-directory-gallery-item\">\r\n                            <div class=\"item-content\" style=\"\">\r\n                                <div class=\"item-thumbnail\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DJI_0680-scaled.jpg\" class=\"citadelaFancyboxElement\" data-gallery=\"item-gallery\" data-image-size=\"2560x1016\">\r\n                                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \r\n                                            class=\"item-image\"\r\n                                            src=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DJI_0680-640x480.jpg\"\r\n                                            width=\"640\"\r\n                                            height=\"480\"\r\n                                            srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DJI_0680-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meteorapyligeopark.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DJI_0680-480x360.jpg 480w\"\r\n                                            sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\r\n                                                                                        style=\"\"                                        \/>\r\n                                                                            <\/a>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/article>\r\n                        \r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n            \r\n                        \r\n        <\/div>\r\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Area code: GR1440002 | Area: 50.636,99 hectares Koziakas (Mount Kerketion), is a beautiful long mountain west of Trikala.
