About us

The "Routes of Discovery" project is an integrated system for marking paths, routes and points of interest (POI) covering a large part of the region of Corfu. This is an innovative programme that for the first time in Greece will provide visitors with the opportunity to follow routes exploring the nature, history and culture of Corfu, in safety, as there will be an electronic system to monitor users as well as an immediate notification system in case of emergency (e.g. accident or fire).

Routes on footpaths and rural roads which the user will be able to follow by walking, running or cycling, are divided into the following categories:

Trail running, hiking, riding, climbing, pilgrimage routes, culinary routes, accessible routes, viewpoints, historical interest points, religious attractions, local producers, soundscapes. Potential users of the proposed initiative fall into the following categories: tourists, nature lovers, climbers, hikers, cyclists, school students, the local population and the disabled.

When following these routes users will be able to understand more about of the identity, cultural heritage and economic activity of the locality. At each point on the route that someone chooses to follow they can be informed through notifications about points of interest such as attractions, historical sites, local handicrafts, birds or animals that they may encounter, or plants such as oregano or other herbs that may be collected according to the season.
