The Petrified Forest of Kerasia.

The creation of the Petrified Forest is connected to the great volcanic activity that was present in the area 10-25 million years ago. The petrified forest is 4km distance away from the village and is one of few in Europe, offering great interest. The driving distance provides the visitor with exquisite natural scenery and we can witness the unique protected Evian oak. The Petrified Forest as well as the petrified mammals provides the special scientific interest as well as the touristic development. Also of great importance are the findings of petrified trunks in the area between the villages of Kerasia-Agia Anna and Papades. Their main point of appearance though is around the area called Psili Rahi, to the west of Kerasia.
