Greek Herp Key

Post by Nature Nate »

Is there any literature dedicated the local herptofauna of Greece? My sister will be visiting there soon and needs a field guide or key to help identify anything she finds. A quick Google search didn't yield any satisfying results. Thanks for the help!

The Amphibians and Reptiles of Greece by ED Valakos, P Pafilis, Sotiropoulos, P Lymberakis and P Maragou.
This is an EXCELLENT book.

While the Valakos book obviously provides a nice overview & I actually contributed a few pics to it, it is somewhat flawed, not the least concerning the distribution maps which are both very incomplete as well as contain rather numerous mistakes.

For IDing of European herps, this is the best until further notice:
