We are pleased to announce the launch of the HIKE project’s website today! This new initiative from Culture Routes Society and its partners aims to guide participants along three iconic European trails in Türkiye, Italy and Greece, promoting healthier and more active lifestyles through tailored hiking events for all fitness levels. The new website offers comprehensive information about free excursions and activities planned across the three participating countries. Visitors will find trail maps, event schedules, and registration forms in the dedicated sections. The news section provides updates, insightful articles, and educational content on healthy living, while the media section will feature photos and videos from our walking events.
