Culture and Sports Minister Panos Panagiotopoulos unveiled the 2014 programme of Green Cultural Pathways events during a press conference on Monday (28.04). The programme includes a number of events taking place throughout this week until Sunday, May 4; hikes, bike rides, thematic tours, artistic events, educational programmes and presentations. The events are free of charge and take place in all 29 Greek prefectures, involving more than 150 agencies and organisations and large numbers of volunteers.

Highlights of the week's events are the tour "In the footsteps of Aristotle and Theophrastus" organised by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, on the island of Lesvos, on April 30; the event will highlight the island's natural environment. Further, the Eleftherna Archaeological Site in Rethymno will organise hikes in the region, which is known for hundreds of endemic plants.
