| Valanaris stream - Megalo Rema Rafina Basins - Eastern Attika |
I post some snapshots of our field day. Thanks to Francisco Martinez-Capel and all participants. This day was the end of our three day seminar. I hope the many outdoor classrooms stay open and well preserved. We would like to use them more frequently!
