Regional authorities in Greece are developing new cultural tourism routes to leverage mythology and popular culture. 

Initially, the Peloponnese region announced plans for a themed route connecting archaeological sites and natural attractions to locations featured in Christopher Nolan's film "Odyssey." This initiative aims to integrate film-related interest with local gastronomy and traditional villages.

Following this, the regions of Western Greece and Peloponnese announced a collaborative effort to establish the "Hercules Trail." This joint project seeks to connect various sites associated with the myths of Hercules across administrative boundaries, including a major investment in Corinthia for a digital interactive cultural center.
