Cultural route in Kallithéa by The High Mountains @INCULTUM

Following a request from the community of Kallithea village, we proceeded with the opening and mapping of the path that connects the village with the holy church of St. Constantine, a vaulted three-aisled basilica that is a historical monument of the region’s recent cultural heritage and dates back to 1820. The path is part of the trail that used to connect Papigo with Konitsa, which has been closed for years.  The project was carried out by village residents and volunteers who came from 5 different parts of the world to support the project. The effort was supported by the “High Mountains” Social Cooperative Enterprise, the Cultural Association of Kallithea "Goritsa,” and the Municipality of Konitsa. By exploiting the social dynamics of the region through participatory planning and the tools offered by the social economy, such as solidarity tourism, we aim to promote local culture while also promoting an integrated sustainable development model based on the visitors of the region and their connection with the place and its people.
