An area featuring a distinctive geological heritage and hosting an impressive number of geosites
noted for their rarity, scientific and educational value, and arresting beauty.

Management

 

Geopark Grevena-Kozani is managed by the Development Company of West Macedonia (known by its Greek abbreviation ANKO) via the development package 'Geowonders Greece'. 

 

The geopark management within ANKO allows efficient coordination of business management, tourism development, environmental engineering, and the kind of partnership sought by UNESCO. 

In association with the geopark, a Collective Enterprise support group has been initiated to aid in joint actions for scientific, touristic and economic development within the Geopark: 

1. visitor centers  

2. charitable enterprises 

3. greenhouse for preservation of botanical biodiversity (endemic plants and seed bank, based on rare, geologically controlled ecosystems in the geopark) 

4. geocamping  

5. National Rock Garden of Greece 

Our goal for incorporation of our geopark into the Global Geoparks Network is immediate international recognition in aid of regional development, combining the interests of the township, local communities and private partners.   

The Geopark conforms to all local and national regulations regarding its activities and does not impose limits on existing activities such as grazing, hunting or local investments, provided these activities do not destroy geosites.
