One of the projects that have already been proposed for inclusion in the Integrated Spatial Investment of the islands is the ecotourism routes of the Municipality of Skiathos, a project mature for implementation, which will offer additional benefits to Skiathos.
“The specific project includes the highlighting of the paths, through paving, benches, signage. Thus, we will promote walking tourism, which is thematic tourism and is developing in a period beyond the high season “, said the mayor of Skiathos, Thodoris Tzoumas.
