As part of the JoinOuT project, OAS has collected information on the environmental, cultural and tourist heritage along the following five routes in the Sitia Geopark:
- Geotour 12: Kato Zakros – Pelekita Cave – Karoumes Beach.
- Geo-route 16: Agioi Panton Gorge, Rihti Gorge
- Ziros – Stairs – Upper Zakros – Gorge of the Dead – Kato Zakros
- Geodromes 20 road: Sitia – Faneromeni – Liopetro – Chamezi – Kimouriotis – Piskokefalo – Petras – Sitia
- H16 geo-route: Lastros – Kapsa Peak – Brose Peak
For these routes and the individual points of interest within the Sitia Geopark, the following have been created:
- Thematic videos for the routes
- Videos featuring the points of interest in the Geopark
- Video trailers designed to promote the Geopark as a tourist attraction
- Colour and black-and-white photos
- Virtual panoramas featuring 360-degree photos
Furthermore, routes were recorded using GPS and an analysis of their difficulty levels was carried out. An app (iOS & Android) for navigating the Sitia Geopark, featuring georeferencing services, was developed, along with a sub-app utilising augmented reality technologies. Training and a pilot scheme were carried out, and finally, translations into English and German were produced.
The project entitled “Joint Innovative Activities for Outdoor Tourism” and distinctive title: “JolnOuT”, is implemented within the framework of the Action “Cooperative Innovation Formations/SCC” - 2nd Call: Businesses” and is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and by National Resources in the context of the Operational Program “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EPANEK)” of the NSRF 2014-2020″ (Project code: ГГГ2CL-0359457).
