Nowadays, the Ιnternet has become an important part of our lives. Millions of people visit it every day making the best of the huge capabilities that it offers. As a result, Internet has become one of the most usable means of education, information, communication, business and entertainment. This study aims at the analysis and evaluation of the way that a mountainous region is presented through various internet sites of local authorities and private enterprises. The region of Tzoumerka in Epirus is chosen as a case study.

A region with such a strong tradition and historical heritage faces the challenge of adjusting to the new era without losing its local identity, while being at the same time able to effectively present its characteristics to the web visitors. This may well be proven effective in the further tourist promotion of the region. Moreover, the local residents can improve their quality of life by using the potentials that the Internet offers. In mountainous areas where the living conditions are difficult and distances long, the new way of communication can give an answer to many of the people’s problems.

For the realization of the survey representative sites of local Municipalities and tourist enterprises  from  the  region  of  Tzoumerka  were  selected.  They  were  then  evaluated, according to specific criteria, in order to draw conclusions concerning their quality, which also constitutes a reliable sample of the quality of the online presentation of the entire area.
