CREATE INTERNATIONAL INTEREST !!

The Vatera region is characterized as exceptionally rare for its fossils, unique to all of Europe. Recent paleontological excavations uncovered a very wide variety of animals, fish and plant fossils.

Examples include a giant tortoise about 2,5m long, and the earliest representatives of a family of giant apes ever found in Europe. 

Thousands of pieces are already on display in a small museum in Vrissa village 2km from Vatera, which is well worth a visit.
