The marine and transitional terrains extensively cropping out nearby Varda (NW Peloponnesus) were studied and preliminarly dated through Th/U measurements on corals collected from three different sections within the area. The dates obtained range between 103 and 209 Kyr B.P. thus indicating a Tyrrhenian age for the entire sequence. From their areal distribution, the studied deposits appear to belong to three distinct transgressive cycles in onlap relations. Their ages substantially correspond on the well known 5.3, 5.5 and 7.1 isotopic sub-stages.
