Thanks to its remarkable geodiversity, stunning natural landscapes, and rich historical and cultural heritage, the Psiloritis Geopark was recognised from the very beginning as a site of international significance. Initially included in the European Geoparks Network, Δίκτυο των Παγκόσμιων Γεωπάρκωνit soon joined the Global Geoparks Network, which granted the region worldwide recognition.
