The Arcadia Hospitality Network is a collaborative ecosystem, aiming to connect selected hospitality service providers, artisans, cultural institutions and providers of alternative activities. The initiative arose from the need for a unified, strong identity (brand name) that transforms the historical significance, cultural heritage and unrivalled natural beauty of the Arcadia region into a sustainable tourism concept.

The purpose of our membership of the epaithros+ cluster is to build a network and develop significant synergies, to raise the profile of our network, and to exchange knowledge and experiences with organisations that share the same vision for the sustainable development of the Greek countryside.

Open Farm is a nationwide network that promotes authentic agritourism by connecting the public with farms open to visitors, agri-food processing facilities, and producers who create high-quality products whilst respecting the environment and local communities. Through its platform and activities, Open Farm enables visitors to discover nature-based experiences, educational activities, gastronomic journeys and hospitality experiences across Greece. Through the Open Farm Days initiative, thousands of citizens and visitors gain first-hand insight into agricultural production and the vital role farmers play in maintaining sustainable agroecosystems. At the same time, Open Farm Agora, located within the Athens Central Market (OKAA), serves as a meeting point for producers and consumers, hosting events, seminars, tastings, workshops and cultural activities. Open Farm also develops educational programmes for schools, organisations and the general public, raising awareness of the strong link between food, health and the sustainability of agri-food systems, whilst encouraging the transition towards more sustainable models of production and consumption.

Through its participation in the epaithros+ cluster, it aims to improve networking and communication with rural organisations, businesses and initiatives, thereby strengthening synergies that contribute to the promotion of the agri-food sector and agritourism.

The Network of Winemakers of Crete started its operation in 2006, wishing to follow a new route and to cultivate a climate of cooperation and synergies. The beginning was made with the Regional Unit of Heraklion, as the central core of bottled wines, thus giving the initial kick to what would follow in time, namely the Network of Winemakers of Crete. Two years later, the Chania- Rethymno Winery Network was created, while the Region of Lasithi joined the process, resulting in the achievement of the Network's goal which was the structured promotion of Cretan wine inside and outside the island. The two bodies operate autonomously but always in collaboration with each other, under the umbrella of “Wines of Crete” on the basis of a collective action planning. The main objectives of the network remain the promotion and recognition of Cretan wine inside and outside the country, but also the development of the wine tourism current on the island while making use of several tourist advantages that exist in Crete.
