In 2022 the Social Cooperative Enterprise Paths of Greece remained very active.
Coming out of the Covid-19 era, our top priority was to expand and add to our team.
Thus, now Paths of Greece fully employs 7 employees, while at the same time the collaboration with a large number of external partners continues.
The most important of the surveys carried out were those in North Corfu, Dionysos, Xiromero of Aitoloakarnania, Nympheo of Florina, Edessa, Epidaurus and Arta.
The summer for Paths of Greece was very intense, as we undertook the implementation of the hiking networks of the islands of Kasos and Skiathos. Studies conducted in 2018 and 2020, respectively.
These are two projects that were completed with great success and made us proud, as we were able to translate the original field research information into two complete networks, with top specifications and a wealth of accompanying and supporting information.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the perfect cooperation and valuable help from the respective municipalities of the regions, our external partners and from the local work crews, with which we were able to complete the two projects.
Within the year, the implementation of an even earlier study that we had conducted, that of the Municipality of Apokoronas in Crete, was completed. The network of hiking routes has been implemented by the Municipality of Apokoronas, and lately it has been in early stage, as some corrections are still being made.
The most important event of the year was definitely the World Hiking Conference, which took place in September, on the island of Skiathos.
The 8th World Hiking Conference, that was organized by the World Trails Network (WTN) was a resounding success! The heart of world hiking beat in Skiathos!
The Municipality of Skiathos had to offer and showcase its newly established hiking network, which consists of 14 routes, implemented by the Municipality of Skiathos, in collaboration with Paths of Greece.
