Kourtaliotiko Gorge

Kalimera, this year, too, there is a daily visitor limit of 1,000 people at the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. I still think that?s far too many.

According to local authorities, the model has helped reduce pressure on the landscape while allowing visitors to enjoy the area under more controlled and sustainable conditions.

Kalimera, yesterday, an on-site inspection was conducted in the Kourtaliotis Gorge by Efthimios Lekkas, professor of natural disaster management and president of OASP, following a request from OFYPEKA, with the aim of assessing issues related to visitor safety.

By the end of next week, the controlled access system at Kourtaliotis Gorge is expected to be operational to improve safety and management.
