The Geopark Grevena- Tethys is committed to ultimately achieving membership in the European and Global Geopark Network.
The aim of Geopark team is to document the park area as a geoheritage site that requires international recognition for the following reasons:
to preserve the unique sites of historic geologic research.
to promote further geoscientific research with emphasis on the relation of geologic and exceedingly rare environmental foundations;
to weave the cultural/anthropological history of the area to its geologic foundations; to develop a sustainable geotouristic attraction capable of increasing visitation, strengthening the local economy, and providing jobs in the region.
