Trekking tourism is an alternative form of tourism with an increasing number of fans. Some efforts have been made recently, aimed at the promotion of walking paths mainly at European level. A map was composed, which reflected paths starting from northern Europe and ending at southern Europe. There are uniform standards under which the European trails are marked.

In Greece the existing infrastructure, regarding the paths, was not important. Taking into account the fact that the already existing paths were not properly maintained, problems were aroused not only during the planning of the new path – network, but also after the completion of the work. Only local initiatives have contributed to the maintenance and the labelling of footpaths.

Using a mobile GPS device the coordinates of the footpath between the mountainous villages of Syrrako and Kalarrytes were recorded. The route between the villages was imprinted in a map, using Autocad. During the walk in the footpath several photos were taken, in order to highlight the beauty of the route and the surrounding area.
