As part of the Jolnout project, the development organisation DAIDALOS S.A. worked on the Field Information Services for Geotourism Routes in Psiloritis and, more specifically, on the study of the planning and implementation of geotourism routes in the Psiloritis Geopark, by collecting and organising information material on points of interest along five routes, namely:
1. Provincial – Rural road: Krousonas – Livadi – Zominthos – Nida – Anogeia
2. Provincial Road: Tylissos – Gonies – Sisarcha – Anogeia (Nida) – Axos – Zoniana (Damothi) – Krana – Livadia (Lakkos Mygerou junction with the route to Psiloritis) – Agios Ioannis – Agios Mamas – Perama
3. Provincial Road: Servili Tylissou (Arolithos) – Boulismeno Aloni – Cave of Glory – Marathos – Damasta – Jeni Gave (Drosia) – Aimonas – Doxaro (Pythes, Vosakou Monastery) – Perama – Margarites – Eleftherna – Arkadi
4. Provincial road: Patsos (Faraggi) – Agia Fotini – Meronas – Gerakari (connection to the Yus Kampos tulip fields) – Kardaki – Nevs Amari – Monastiraki – Petrochori – Fourfouras (route to Pardi – Psiloritis) – Platania (Platanion Route) – Vistagi – Thronos
5. Provincial Road: Asites – Prinias – Panasos – Gergeri – Zaros (Ag Nikolaou Gorge–Rouva Forest Route) – Vorizia – Kamares
The mapping project focused on the environmental (geosites) and cultural heritage (settlements) sites along the five routes of the Psiloritis Geopark, using photographic documentation, whilst also carrying out extensive video recordings.
In addition, all the necessary information material was analysed and processed for the digital recording of the routes, data and available information on a cartographic background:
With regard to the creation of a Business Promotion Network on Geotourism Routes, and more specifically the collection, recording, processing and digitisation of information material for 25 businesses in the Psiloritis Geopark (creating profiles, taking photographs), photographs were taken of businesses situated on the aforementioned georoutes, whilst at the same time, descriptive texts were produced, with a basic selection criterion based on both their location along the georoutes and their spatial distribution.
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).
