The Volcanic History
The Basal Volcanic Complex (ca. 160,000 to 100,000 years)
The Early Caldera Stratovolcano (ca. 100,000 to 30,000 years)
Lakki Pyroclastics and Avlaki Complex
Lacustrine and Pyroclastic Formations
The Melisseri - Evangelistra - Afionas Complex
The Emborios Complex
The Ellinika - Kyra - Lies Pyroclastic Complex
The Argos - Stavros Complex
The Main Caldera Formation (30,000 to 15,000 years ?)
The First Caldera Phase (?30,000 to 20,000 years ?)
The Second Caldera Phase (20,000 to <15,000 years ?)
The Emborios Complex
The volcanic edifice of the Emborios complex is built up of spectacular andesitic
lava flows as well as the characteristic dacitic volcanic domes of Emborios.
The thickness varies from 40 to 60 m in the caldera rim and diminishes to only
a few meters in the coastal area.
