Tourism is changing rapidly as nature, heritage and recreational destinations become more important to the traveler, and as conventional tourism is forced to meet tougher environmental requirements. This change is a challenge to the farm people to develop new approaches to the tourism market. Our goal is to enable visitors to learn about the natural, historical and cultural characteristics of our area and to enjoy their stay, while we give importance to preserving the integrity of such a unique place.
Therefore, all houses at our Zakynthos vacation accommodation follow the principles of our architectural heritage, and are placed in harmony within their natural surroundings, contributing to preserving local architectural style and sustainable tourism development. With our organic products our guests can taste pure flavors and become familiar with the local cuisine and Mediterranean diet.
We encourage visitors to use our free provided mountain bikes to explore the area, offering a way of moving around friendly to the environment. Horse riding gives the visitor the chance of a different way of discovering nature, combining sports with fun. Walking paths and dirt tracks are suggested for enjoying and appreciating our natural surroundings.
We inform our visitors about our area and encourage them to visit the environmental information center. We advise visitors to use water and power sparingly and avoid wasting our energy and water resources. We minimize power consumption by using energy saving bulbs, solar power for hot water, and special contacts that will not allow our air-conditioning units to operate while doors or windows remain open. We also recycle our wastewater, using it for watering our plants.
We provide a full time income to two local people and local families own every service we recommend or routinely make use of – taxis, car hire, boat hire. Restaurants suggested are all owned and run by local families and, local mini markets are supported by encouraging our guest to do their shopping at them. The economy of the village therefore benefits from every guest being here.
Being the first organic farm in our village we have contacted our village’s primary school and offered free visits, so kids can learn and appreciate the organic way of farming. School has accepted and local children are already aware of organic farming practices and sustainable agriculture, giving this way the local future generations the chance of managing the environment in a better way.
We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
