Creation of integrated tourist access to the island of Psaron

The project aims to ensure the accessibility of people with motor disabilities or with limited mobility on the beaches of the island of Psara. In particular, the planning and construction of facilities on four beaches of the island, for the convenience, entertainment and sports of disabled people, people with motor disabilities or limited mobility (aged, pregnant women, visually impaired, etc.), contributing to the removal of their marginalisation from society as a whole. The ultimate goal of the project is a) to develop tourism for people with disabilities and to attract tourists of this social group and b) to serve the inhabitants of the island. The right of people with disabilities to access is exhausted not only to the possibility of moving around the city without hindrance or to the use of public buildings by providing a number of facilities. People with disabilities have every right to use facilities related to entertainment, sport, tourism and recreation, which are offered to all of us without hindrance and without any limitations whatsoever. An important area from which disabled people are excluded is the sea and the sea baths, which usually have beneficial effects on health and improvement of living conditions. The existence of an institutional framework for accessibility usually covers buildings but does not extend to areas such as the beach, sea and mountain.
