Climate of the nearest settlement

This section is about Xiropigado, the nearest settlement with a page (height 78 m), not about the summit. The summit is 896 m higher. In the International Standard Atmosphere the air cools by an average of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m of height; the values in the table have not been moved to the summit's height and are not summit climate.

NASA POWER (MERRA-2), period 2001–2020, model cell about 20 km from the settlement (a grid of about 50 km); temperatures were adjusted to the settlement's height with the standard lapse rate, because it differed from the cell's mean height by 100 m or more. Monthly averages from a regional model, not station readings and not a forecast.

Mountain safety

In an emergency call 112, the European emergency number. For information, training and the mountaineering clubs, the federation is the Hellenic Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (ΕΟΟΑ).

This page gives no climbing directions and no weather forecast.

How the numbers were counted

The height is Wikidata's (property P2044, 9 Oct 2026) where it has one, otherwise the ele tag of the natural=peak node in OpenStreetMap (9 Oct 2026). The rule is the same for every peak: a Wikidata value with a reference first, then a Wikidata value without one, then OpenStreetMap. Where both sources have a value and they differ by more than 50 m, the page says so and shows both. The Wikidata value for this peak carries a reference. We did not measure the height.

The massif and the prominence are Wikidata's (P4552, P2660). The name and the links to Wikipedia are Wikidata's (CC0); we copy no text from Wikipedia. A mountain or peak has a page when it has a name and a height, lies in a Greek municipality, has a Wikipedia article, a known prominence or a height of at least 700 m, and has something near it (a settlement, sight, beach, another peak, a hut or a route). Peaks are ranked by the number of editions of the Wikidata item, then prominence, then height, and the list is capped at 800 pages (it has 579 now).

The huts, shelters and hiking routes are OpenStreetMap's (ODbL, Geofabrik snapshot 24 Sep 2026). Settlements, municipal boundaries and island outlines are also OpenStreetMap's. The Natura 2000 membership is whether the summit's point lies inside the Ministry's boundary (YPEN geoportal).
