The event “Cycling in anchient Larissa” was held with great success and participation by the Municipal Youth Council of the Municipality of Larissa in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Larissa within the PPC International Cycling Tour of Greece as a precursor action.
The young people of the city participated in a cycling tour of important monuments of Larissa where they had the opportunity to learn and discuss the history of our city taking advantage of the important changes made in the urban network during the implementation of the Sustainable Urban Mobility project.
The route followed by the cyclists of the municipal youth council was the following: Laou Square, Blana Square, Justinian Walls, Geni Mosque, Bairakli Mosque, Fortress (Bezesteni, Bath, Basilica of Agios Achilleios), Koiti Pinios Thio.
The action was attended by the Deputy Mayor of Administration, Education & Lifelong Learning Mr. Dimitris Deligiannis, the Deputy Mayor of Culture & Science Mr. Panos Sapkas and the Deputy Mayor of Sustainable Mobility & Smart City Systems Mr. Dinos Diamantos.
The tour was conducted by Mrs. Katerina Zahou who for 2.5 hours informed the cyclists about the historical course of the monuments of Larissa.
Chania in turn organized a skills workshop with the students of the 1st Experimental High School of Chania to present in the old port the work they had done on the subject of the bicycle, within the skills workshop.
With the support of the responsible teacher, they worked on a historical background of the bicycle, the safe rules of cycling, the benefits for the user and the environment.
With the guidance of the responsible teacher, they created thematic paintings that we will have the opportunity to admire together with the paintings of all other students of Primary and Secondary education in an exhibition that will be organized by the Municipality in a few days.
