SUMMARY:Two days of activities dedicated to protecting the Meteora–Pyli Geopark, culminating in a concert by Loudovikos of Anogeia
DESCRIPTION:The Meteora–Pyli Geopark, recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, encompasses the Municipalities of Meteora and Pyli and covers an area of 2,409.5 km².\nThe Geopark’s cultural highlight is undoubtedly the complex of monasteries built atop the rocks of Meteora, whose significance was recognised by UNESCO in 1988 through their designation as a World Heritage Site. The Meteora–Pyli Geopark showcases its geological, natural and cultural heritage, offering visitors the opportunity to explore a rich network of geosites and habitats, archaeological sites and monuments. Visitors can also enjoy hiking through a unique natural environment, take part in a wide range of ecotourism and sporting activities, and participate in educational programmes and cultural festivals.  \nThe Municipality of Meteora is therefore organising a two-day programme dedicated to the protection of the Meteora–Pyli Geopark on 4 and 5 September, featuring guided hiking georoutes, voluntary trail clean-ups, educational recycling workshops and a photography exhibition. The programme culminates in “The Culture of Stone”, a concert by Loudovikos of Anogeia, on Friday, 4 September at  at 8.30 pm at Theopetra Park,  opposite the Theopetra Cave Documentation and Education Centre.\nThe Meteora–Pyli Geopark took millions of years to form. Yet it can be destroyed within a single generation.  This very realisation lies at the heart of the two-day programme. Protecting a landscape that took geological time to form is not solely the responsibility of experts; it is also the responsibility of the community that lives within it. The activities have been designed so that visitors are not merely passive observers, but active participants in the protection of the Geopark’s geosites.  \n“The Geopark is not a landscape we simply look at from a distance. It is the place where we live, work and raise our children. These two days are an invitation to care for it together — because what took millions of years to create can either be protected or lost within a single generation,” said Lefteris Avramopoulos, Mayor of Meteora.\n“Stone is nature’s work: steadfast, certain, and instructive through its very presence. It teaches us to be strong, it teaches us endurance, it teaches us certainty. That is why we have given the concert the title ‘The Culture of Stone’,” said Loudovikos of Anogeia\n
