Through this original interactive project, the very history of modern Greece is revived. Even from the pre-revolutionary years, Gortynia was a bastion of knowledge and a field of action for important people who marked the history of the place and led the country to its final liberation from the Turkish occupation. This history is presented and maintained through the portal.
A holy, historical and enchantingly wonderful place. Surrounded by unique natural beauty, forests, mountains, rivers and picturesque villages that illustrate history, Gortynia offers unique and unforgettable experiences to its visitors in all seasons of the year.
The legendary Paloumpa with the Plapoutas family who started the revolution in Gortynia, the wonderful Lagkadia with the Deligiannis family, who gave their life and property for the liberation, the famous Dimitsana that offered knowledge and war material to the fight, the picturesque Stemnitsa, a favorite village of Kolokotronis. Every place of Gortynia has a wonderful story to share about the Revolution of 1821.
For the implementation of the action “Gortynia – Places and people of the Revolution of 1821 through digital media technologies”, the Municipality of Gortynia utilized resources from the “Antonis Tritsis” Development and Solidarity Program for Local Government.
