OVERVIEW


Trace your Eco (traceyoureco.gr),  in an attempt to sustain tourist growth in our country, is collaborating with local organizations and societies, and coordinates volunteer programmes, with the idea to promote and highlight an alternative – Hiking  Tourism in our country.

The Association of Active Citizens of Aegina with collaboration with the team of Trace your Eco, and with the support of the Local Council’s Public Enterprise, is organising a week of volunteering and action for the footpaths of Aegina.
