The site “Stena Kalamakiou” (GR 1440004) in the Thessalian plain was proposed to be included in the “Natura 2000” network. It is flowed by the river Pinios and characterized by overgrazing, whose impact is obvious on the flora and vegetation. The flora of the area consists of 374 taxa (320 species, 52 subspecies and 2 varieties), which belong to 65 families and 250 genera. Some of these species are rare or threatened (Alyssum doerfleri Degen, Campanula drabifolia Sm., Centaurea pelia DC., Centaurea graeca Griseb. ssp. ceccariniana (Boiss. & Heldr.) Dostal), while most of them are common, wide distributed taxa.
