摘要

This study explores the integration of geomythology and geoeducation within urban geotourism, focusing on the potential of geosites in Athens as platforms for promoting environmental awareness and cultural heritage preservation. Geomythology, by linking geological features with cultural narratives, offers a unique approach to interpreting natural landmarks, enhancing the educational and experiential value of geosites. Through this interdisciplinary framework, visitors can develop a deeper understanding of both geoscience and local history, fostering a connection with the environment. The study highlights the use of the innovative Geoeducational Assessment Method (GEOAM), which evaluates geosites based on their geoeducational potential, sustainability, and visitor engagement. This methodology provides a comprehensive assessment of geosites, identifying areas for improvement and offering insights into their role in sustainable urban geotourism. By incorporating geomythology and geoeducation, this approach aims to contribute to sustainable tourism in Athens, fostering geoethical awareness that promotes long-term environmental stewardship.
