EVRITANIA: THE HEART OF ALTERNATIVE TOURISM
IN THE HEART OF GREECE!
WE MET THE VICE-HEAD OF REGION OF EVRITANIA
MR. ARISTΕΙDΙS TASIOS, WHO, IN A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION,
REVEALED TO US THE KNOWN AND THE UNKNOWN BEAUTY OF EVRITANIA!
It is my special pleasure to preface the
special edition of «Gold book of Karpenissi -
Evritania» magazine, which will promote our
Prefecture, in consideration of the upcoming
winter tourist period. Evritania, a touristically
dynamic area with important infrastructures,
is demarcated by the massifs of Central
Greece.
The plentitude and quality of its
infrastructures, either talking about
luxurious hotels, either about friendly
traditional guesthouses or food and
entertainment enterprises, can host even
the most demanding visitors. The tourist
infrastructures of the area, combined
with an environment of special natural
beauty, have placed Evritania among the
most important winter destinations of our
country. Athletic tourism, conferential,
naturist, religious and generally the
alternative forms of tourism are, along with
winter tourism, the cornerstone in the area’s
tourist development. But one of the greatest
comparative advantages of the area is its rich
cultural, historical and religious heritance.
Throughout the entire Evritania there
are important monuments of an
inextinguishable heritance that bring to
every visitor grand memories from the past.
Prousos, the Holy Monastery of Tatarna,
Finally, but equally importantly, a
characteristic element of its tourist sector is
the unbelievably beautiful natural landscape
that enchants the visitor’s gaze with its
unparalleled variations. Ancient rivers cross
the Evritanian land forming amazing canyons
and also the Lake of Kremasta, that, with the
dense forest as a background, create the wild
beauty of the area.
So I welcome to you to a region that has
rightfully been characterized as the Heart of
Alternative Tourism in the Heart of Greece.
