The water moves through the caves ofZakro\u2019s mountains until it reaches its exit at the spring. The water from the spring irrigates the entire surrounding region, while it preserved important ecosystems that even reach Kato Zakros.

The spring is shaped on the tectonic contact between the limestones and dolomites of Tripolis unit and the rocks of Phyllites-Quartzites that lie underneath. The intense karstic erosion of the Tripolis rocks lead the water inside their mass, where it moves with gravity until the large tectonic contact with the Phyllites-Quartzites unit, which hamper the water&#8217;s movement. There the water starts to move horizontally until it meets the relief, where the spring is shaped.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
