A new exhibition entitled “Gaia Memories: UNESCO Global Geoparks Greece-Cyprus” will open its doors at the Eugenides Foundation on Friday and last until May 12, 2019, ANA reports.
The exhibition “transports” visitors to island and mountain landscapes across Greece and Cyprus that have been classed as globally important because of their geographical and other features, such as the fossil forest on Lesvos, Mount Psiloritis and Sitia on Crete, the Vikos-Aoos Gorge, the Helmos-Vouraikos Gorge and Troodos on Cyprus.
It includes images of unique geological and natural monuments, landscapes, fossilised trees, dramatic canyons and gorges, waterfalls, caves, coasts and valleys. It is further enriched by exhibits of fossils discovered in Greece, such as the teeth and bones of early elephants and early marine life, as well as unusual rocks and stones created in the ocean deeps millions of years ago.
Admission is free of charge but advance bookings are essential and the public can visit the exhibition at 17:00-20:00 from Wednesday to Friday and from 11:00-20:00 at weekends. A 45-minute tour will be available every hour on weekdays from 9:30 until 14:15.
