At the end of April, the Year 10 Geographers headed to Mount Parnassos and Arachova to gather data for their IGCSE coursework.
On the Tuesday we visited the ski slopes at Fterolakka where we looked at the environmental impact of skiing and hiking on the slopes. Tuesday night was spent in Itea where as well as a lovely meal we had the chance to look at the sea defences that are protecting the town.
On Wednesday we visited the town of Arachova to investigate the impact that tourism is having. Amongst other activities the pupils asked the locals to complete the questionnaires that they had written to find out about their opinions about tourism in their town.
