PSILORITIS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK (Greece)

PSILORITIS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK (Greece)

Immovable Culture Heritage

The PSILORITIS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK, located on the Greek island of Crete, occupies the central part of the island and was established in 2001. It is rich in geological diversity, with cross sections of various rock types such as ophiolite, providing an excellent vantage point for understanding the progress of the Earth. The fascinating caves and deep canyons, its traditional cuisine, hundreds of species of plants and animals, its stunning scenery, and the many ways in which travelers can choose to visit Crete have given it an international reputation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a normal trip to Geopark became impossible, but a variety of digital technologies were subsequently found to be available for participation. Because UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK is a heritage site that serves both the functions of a park and educational purposes, it is particularly important to design a variety of visiting formats for this purpose. Even after the end of the virus, digital media is a good way to visit Geopark virtually, avoid pollution and other problems caused by too many tourists, maintain sustainability, continue green tourism, and play a positive role in climate change. This includes reducing the carbon emissions that people cause by travelling to their destinations. I have added a variety of different forms of media here. There are three different types in total, including photo, video and virtual tour. You can experience this UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK in a variety of ways and enjoy a brand-new travel experience.
