Mapping the Cultural Routes within Stroumpi Community

Through an innovative European project, which was funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the Ministry of Interior and the Community Board of Stroumpi, SELAS undertook the mapping of the Cultural Routes within Stroumpi Community.

The project included the design and mapping of four cultural routes within Stroumpi village in Pafos, the geographical and historical study of Stroumpi area and the editing of a travel guide and cultural maps.

Furthermore, the project included the production of paper, digital and interactive maps for the Information kiosk screens as well as map boards at the starting points of each cultural route and along the sites of interest. The thematic maps depict the special designed routes, points of interest along the route, various amenities along the trails as well as time and distance of walking trails.

The main purpose of this project was to enhance the cultural, historical and religious wealth of the region with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness of the Cypriot tourism, the development of alternative forms of tourism such as cultural tourism, the diffusion flow of tourists to the mainland, the lengthening of the touristic period and the offer of new tourism products.
