Do you know what a geopark is? It is an area with a geological, ecological, archaeological and cultural heritage of international importance for its scientific quality, rarity, aesthetics and educational value. The recognition of these local resources and the establishment of a geopark have the primary purpose of protecting this unique environment and promoting it to educate visitors of all ages, developing a conscious and sustainable ecological tourism. In Greece, nine sites of extraordinary beauty and geological variability have already been included in the global network of UNESCO geoparks and one of them is located right in Kefalonia and Ithaca.
