Educational Tourism (school/student excursions)

In Magnesia, the astonishing natural environment, the variety of landscape, the rare flora and fauna species, the NATURA 2000 protected areas, the National Marine Park in Alonnisos, the traditional settlements, the Museums and in general the infrastructure, render the countryside an open school for children and the whole region the most suitable for rendering young people environmentally aware.

Within the framework of environmental lessons, school/student excursions and visits are very often organized in several areas of Magnesia, which are characterized as areas of special ecological and environmental interest. The purpose of these visits is that children get acquainted with the natural treasures of our country and that they understand the relations between man and environment, creating at the same time a sense of responsibility for the environment' s protection and reasonable management.

Tours around Mount Pelion or Mount Othrys, visits at the Maritime Museum of Achilleio, at the National Marine Park in Alonnisos or Karla Lake, undoubtedly contribute towards this purpose. Moreover the Archaeological, Historical and Folklore Museums, the Archaeological sites, the multiple art galleries, the modern sports facilities, the numerous cultural events organized in Magnesia during all year will fill in a pleasant and creative way the students time, whereas the accommodation infrastructure will guarantee their comfortable stay.

Magnesia is expecting you to discover it!
