Olympia Odos cooperates with DIAZOMA Association since 2014 to promote the Cultural and Environmental Route of Olympia Odos.
Along the motorway, one comes across some of the most known and important archaeological sites of Greece, as well as areas of particular environmental importance and in particular: Isthmia, Ancient Corinth, Sicyon, Aigeira, Keryneia, Kleitoria, Leontio, Ilida, the Mycenaean cemetery of Voudeni and Platiana, as well as the three (3) archaeological parks of Elefsina, Patras and Olympia. At the same time, it included the ancient theaters located in the above sites, namely: the Eleusis Telesterion, the Ancient Theater of Isthmia with the Temple of Poseidon, the Theater of Ancient Corinth, the Amphitheater of Ancient Corinth, the Odeon of Ancient Corinth, the Theater of Sicyon, the Ancient Theater of Aigeira, the Ancient Theater of Keryneia, the Ancient Theater of Kleitora, the theater of Leontio, the Odeon of Patras, the amphitheater-stadium of Patras, the theater of Ilida and the theater of Platiana. Moreover, this route will also include mordern monuments such as the Archaeological Museum of Aigion, the new Archaeological Museum of Patras, the church of Aghios Andreas in Patras and the Chlemoutsi Castle.
Moreover, one comes across monuments of environmental interest such as the Heraion, Stymfalia, the gorge of Vouraikos and the Salt Lake of Aigio.
To date, for this Route:
The study “OLYMPIA ODOS AS A CULTURAL ROUTE” has been drafted by Mr. Dimitris Kaloudiotis upon relevant assignment by DIAZOMA Association and the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature, and was financed by Olympia Odos SA;
The company Clio Muse, a partner of DIAZOMA Association, has created a special section for the monuments along the route in an application for mobile phones (“Olympia Odos Panorama”).
Four Info Kiosks have been created along the Olympia Odos axis, at Megara and Psathopyrgos MSSs (on both traffic directions) to promote the Route.
Our next goal is to distribute on the motorway an interactive leaflet with a QR code to allow the visitor navigate at the sites of their choice.
