Alternative tourism

ALTERNATIVE TOURISM

Alternative tourism is the non-massive form of development of tourist destinations promoting a new holiday philosophy that is friendly to the environment and social and cultural values.

This mild development allows interaction and mutual co-living between members of different social groups (tourists and the hosting societies), while it evolves with the consent and participation of the local community.

Indicative activities of alternative tourism in Achaia

Enotourism

Greece, land of Dionysus, god of wine, has the longest history in wine production and consumption in the world. In Greece, wine has been produced for over 4,000 years.

The culture of wine, the consumption of wine as a social event and its refined assessment were developed for the first time by ancient Greeks.
Today, Greece plays a key role in the international wine culture and industry.

There are dozens of vineyards and wineries open to visitors, allowing them to discover the enchanting world of vines and wine, to know traditional and modern winery methods and taste selected Greek wines, combined with traditional dishes.

At the same time, athletes of the Club from Patras with their many participations and distinctions in National tournaments, are established in the field and are recognised as very remarkable pilots and good friends.

Ski and snowboard in Kalavryta

The facilities of the ski resort of Kalavryta are the second largest in Greece and are located on mountain Chelmos, at an altitude of 1700-2340m. It is one of the most organised ski resorts, with 12 circuits, over 20km long.

 

Bird watching

ALIKI/EGIO

The beach of Aliki in Egio, despite being a formal beach, is also an important aquatic ecosystem and partly a lagoon, lying to the northeast of the beach. There are about 120 bird species that visit plus significant aquatic life. The rich flora of the area is also noteworthy.

 

The Lagoon of Kalogria is a true paradise for bird watchers, at the north-west end of the Peloponnese, which is an ideal starting point for a tour of the area. Following the route to Prokopo, you will have the opportunity to observe its northern side, while at its reed beds you will find little bitterns (Ixobrychus minutus), bearded reedlings (Panurus biarmicus), common starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) resting.

The wonderful forest of Strofylia, is the perfect green scenery for your tour with its high stone pines, oak trees and pines. To the south, the Lagoon of Kotychi is another important wetland with reed beds and islets that are home to many species of wild ducks, wild geese, herons and swans. The area is an internationally acclaimed wetland habitat and is protected by the international Convention Ramsar. For more information contact the “Info-centre of the Kotychi Lagoon – Strofylia Forest”.
