Our tours take place in the Regional Marine Park of Northern Karpathos Saria -Astakidonision. According to the Environmental Management Agency of the Karpathos-Saria protected area, Karpathos is home to one of the largest populations of the monk seal and has been declared one of the 'Important Bird Areas of Europe'. Our guides are locals with experience in enviromental protection thus our guests are able to learn detailed information about flora and fauna.Morever, all together we try to keep clean a very important protected gulf, in the North part of Karpathos, from the plastics which the currents of Mediterranean sea bring there.
Our tours are designed very carefully to show this unique biodiversity and day by day we will walk in a paths with different types of ecosystems in order to enjoy the beautiful landscapes with all our senses.
During our eco-programs we avoid using plastic bags and we prefer to use traditional wool bags in order to combine environmental protection with reinforcement of local economy.
We always prefer local foods to reduce the adverse effects of large-scale agriculture and we follow the seasonality of food availability, as nature intended.
We invite you to contibute on this project and help us to protect our beautiful Island Karpathos!
