The trail is home to a variety of unique Mediterranean ecosystems. Here's a simplified explanation:

1. Thermo-Mediterranean and pre-desert scrub: This is a type of habitat that thrives in hot, dry Mediterranean climates. It includes species such as Gorse (Genista fasselata), a spiny shrub with yellow flowers, and Azarole (Crataegus Carolus), a hawthorn tree producing edible yellow fruit.

2. Phrygana of the eastern Mediterranean: This habitat is characterized by low, often thorny bushes typically found in the east Mediterranean. It includes species like Spiny burnet (Sarcopoterium spinosum), a shrub with spiky stems, and Thyme (Thymbra capitata), a herbaceous plant often used in cooking.

3. Cupressus forests: This refers to forests dominated by Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), a coniferous tree native to the Mediterranean region.

4. Platanus orientalis forests: These are forests that are dominated by Oriental Plane trees (Platanus orientalis), a large deciduous tree that's native to Eurasia.

5. Woodlands with Quercus infectoria: This type of woodland is characterized by the presence of Oak (Quercus infectoria subsp. veneris), a tree known for its durable wood and acorns.

Each habitat brings unique flora and fauna to the trail, contributing to the area's rich biodiversity. In the springtime, the mimosa trees and anemones, in particular, put on a vibrant display, covering the trail in a splash of colour.
