Cultural routes: As a tourist attraction in the city of Elefsina

This study explores the concept of cultural routes and their potential as tourist attractions, using Elefsina—a city striving to redefine its identity as the "European Capital of Culture 2021"—as a case study. Its participation in European programs brings positive elements and hope for sustainable future development. The project aims to establish three cultural routes focusing on different thematic axes: cultural monuments dating from the year of the ECOC title, archaeological and religious monuments, and the industrial heritage of the city, aiming to showcase all aspects of its culture. A quantitative survey among Elefsina residents gathered insights into the utility of these cultural routes and the impact of the ECOC on their city.
