LAG Adrion
About the association
LAG ” Adrion ” was established in order to prepare the area for EAFRD 2014 -2020, to preserve traditions, natural wonders, cultural and historical heritage as well as to develop a recognizable identity of the area
LAG was named after the greek word “Adrion”, which is the oldest known name for the mountain Biokovo and the greek word ”Adrias”, which is short for the Adriatic Sea. The symbolic of these names points out the merging of these areas into one unit.
