Karst aquifers are particularly vulnerable to pollution due to their hydrological behaviour, usually dominated by the presence of a dense fractures and karst features. The mapping of their vulnerability is one of the most simple and effective tools to protect them. This study aims at the investigation of the vulnerability of the karst aquifers hosted in the carbonate formations of Olonos-Pindos and Gavrovo-Tripolis units. For this purpose the COP method, which is an intrinsic vulnerability mapping method, was applied to study the vulnerability of Vouraikos catchment karst system. Based on the application of this method distinct zones were defined that illustrate five vulnerability classes, including very high, high, moderate, low and very low vulnerability classes. The coverage areas of each class are 38.83%, 25.03%, 24.61%, 11.15% and 0.37% respectively.
