RE: Discovering Crete, Part 17 - The palm beach of Límni Préveli II
I think the reason of these mushroom shaped rocks is the erosion activities of the sea water which is cutting those rocks near the level of the sea waves. Air also cut rocks and creates fascinating structures.
It is amazing that this place is full of date palms. I thought date palms can only be find in the desert areas of the Arabian peninsula and similar geographic locations.
BTW this place is very beautiful and so is your photography.
Thank you! Your explanation regarding the erosion of that rock sounds reasonable to me.
The Crete date palm doesn't produce edible fruits like the Arabian date palms. It's another subspecies with restricted distribution, occuring only on some Greek and Turkish islands.
Welcome dear!
Thank you for information about the date palms of Greek islands.
