In a pioneering move, the EU and Greece have launched a €50 million initiative to fuse the rich tapestry of Greek history with forward-looking sustainability goals. This project will create thematic cultural routes connecting Mycenaean palaces and Byzantine strongholds, revitalizing regional economies and promoting eco-friendly travel. By leveraging modern technology and community input, Greece is setting a precedent for how history can inform sustainable development.
