The leaves of the Juniper Oxycedrus Macrocarpa
A photo stretch on Elafonisos would not be complete without
a photo of the famous (and endangered) Juniper Oxycedrus Macrocarpa.
It only grows in a few coastal areas of Crete and its habitat
is threatened by the development of tourism.
Several
of these trees have now been cordonned off by ropes in the
busiest area of Elafonisos.
