Sažetak

Planinarenje je fizička aktivnost čiji je cilj rekreacija, trening i fizička spremnost. Ljudi se po pravilu bave ovom aktivnošću tokom odmora. Međutim, vrlo često je planinarenje glavni motiv putovanja. Upravo ta činjenica omogućava nam da planinarenje označimo kao poseban vid turizma, koji je i sam razlog za putovanje. U Grčkoj se i Grci i stranci bave ovom aktivnošću prateći jednu od dve evropske pešačke staze (E4 i E6). Ovo istraživanje ima za cilj da istraži motive, stavove i ponašanje grčkih planinara, članova „Kluba prijatelja planina i mora“, koji idu na pešačke ture u Grčku i inostranstvo. Istraživanje ukazuje na to da su glavni motivi planinara kontakt sa prirodom, želja za istraživanjem novih mesta i upoznavanje civilizacije različitih regiona. Na putu do odredišta, planinari, pored pešačenja, posećuju i mesta i spomenike od kulturnog značaja. Ovaj oblik turizma je prihvatljiv za životnu sredinu, jer većina planinara poštuje i štiti prirodno i kulturno okruženje.
