An integrated beach inventory for the islands of Santorini and Kos was assembled, which contains qualitative and quantitative information for various parameters grouped into 5 thematic categories, as detailed below. Historical changes in certain parameters were also analyzed and are included as a separate category. Additionally, user-friendly interactive maps showcasing the spatial distribution of key parameters were created using Google My Maps and Google Earth Web tools. Links to access these maps are provided below and instructions for navigating the maps are provided here.
