As you rise up the slopes the vegetation gently changes. Up to 700 meters there are hardwood and evergreen trees such as the mock privet (Phillyrea media), heath (Arbutus sp.) and holly (Quercus coccifera). Amongst these trees live several deciduous bushes, such as the sapindale or soap berry (Cotinus coggygria), ash (Fraxinus ornus) and redbud (Cercis siliquastrum).

Up to about 1000 meters is where the deciduous trees can be found with expansive areas of broadleaf oak (Quercus frainetto) and pure and mixed forests of trachea oak (Quercus pubescens). Clusters of chestnuts (Castanea sativa) and mixed forests of oak/chestnut are encountered and in other locations there are a great number of forest trees such as hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), elm (Ostria carpinifolia), bourtree (Sabucus nigra), cornel tree (Cornus mas), wild hazel (Corylus colurna) and maple (Acer sp.).

All this offers an idea and authentic habitat for many varieties of insects, birds and animals. Amongst others you can find the Lucanus cervus (deer beetle or scarab) and the lepidopteron Lycaena dispar (gypsy moth), otters, wild boars, wolves, lynxes and wild cats, the vulture (Gyps fulvus) and the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
