Around here
Distances are in a straight line from the point OpenStreetMap records for the settlement and are not travel times. The nearest option that does not cross water is preferred. OpenStreetMap coverage is uneven.

Also mapped, not officially monitored
Named beaches in OpenStreetMap that are not on the official bathing-water list. They have no water class in our data, which says nothing about how clean the water is.

Context from the map
The same facts the Katatopisi map shows for the settlement's point, in the same words. They are regional data, not a survey or a safety guarantee.
| Topic | What is recorded |
|---|---|
| Flooding (YPEN hazard maps) | No mapped flood hazard area nearby. Within a zone of potentially high flood risk |
| Wildfires | No recorded fire within 5 km in the data (EFFIS, 2016–2026). |
| Earthquake hazard (ESHM20) | Expected ground shaking: 0.39g · high. The figure is for rock; soft ground shakes harder. |
| SEVESO sites | No SEVESO site within 5 km |
Maps cover designated high-risk zones only, and only the low-probability scenario (1-in-1000 years); scenarios for more frequent floods are not included. “Outside” does not mean “safe”.
Mean peak ground acceleration with a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years (the 475-year return period), from the European ESHM20 model. It is a regional figure, not a ground study for this plot.
Fires: EFFIS (Copernicus), areas of roughly 30 hectares and above; the dates in our data run 2016–2026. Smaller fires do not appear.
2021 zone price
The point lies in a zone with a tax value of 700 € per m² (objective value system, 2021).
2021 tax zone price (the objective value system), not a market price; market prices are usually higher. A property's official value applies coefficients for floor, age and frontage.
