The Anogia Academic Village was set up in 1992 by the University of Crete and the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORT-H), in collaboration with local government organizations, to provide a specialized conference centre for the academic community and to promote alternative ways for the development of tourism in the mountainous area of Psiloritis. |
