The Anemotia volcano
The current Geopark register identifies Anemotia as a volcanic centre and separately records the nearby Keria erosion structures. This geological layer helps explain the relief around the village without turning every outcrop into a formal attraction.
Pair the geology with the village and vineyard landscape, but use signed roads and locally verified paths rather than navigating directly to a scientific map point.
