  • Tasos Anastasiou (The persistent walker of the Cyclades)

    He pioneered the revival of a network of trails in 21 Cycladic islands, actively contributing to the protection of the environment and the promotion of cultural heritage.

    "Is it the same to reach the city of ancient Thira from the cobblestones that starts from the medieval village of Pyrgos and goes up to Profitis Ilias, by following the concrete road that, from the tourist resort of Kamari, ends at the same place?" says Tassos Anastasiou, a man who dedicated 25 years of his life to reviving the paths in the Cyclades. An employee of the Prefecture of Cyclades, he contributed to the restoration of the Cycladic paths and their emergence in routes of cultural interest, which now exceed 600 km in 21 of the 24 Cycladic islands.

    Result; Off-season tourism is constantly increasing, the islands are finding a new way to strengthen the local economy and the environment is being protected in the most effective way.
