It focused on upgrading Skiathos’ trail network to inform people with mobility issues of its possibilities and standards, thus enhancing its accessibility for all. Additionally, five new destinations of cultural interest were added by opening necessary paths and installing signage.  Skitahos belongs to Greece’s Sporades island complex.
