May Day Guide to Sustainable Travel in Greece


Spring has arrived and nature is painting the most inspiring canvas. A canvas which, if not taken care of, would literally become invisible in the near future. Environmental protection is no longer simply a desirable effort but a core consideration for us all. Many eco-social initiatives have been implemented in the last decade and Greece has become a great supporter of environmental efforts with many sustainable sites to account for.

May Day

Greece’s successful “Sustainable Greece Campaign” of 2013 continues with a new, even bigger campaign focusing on Eco-Alternative Tourism.

Supporting Green Travel Cycladia features a list of hotels that were awarded with the Green Key in 2013 and continue to adopt practices with respect to the environment for your May Day escapes.

Get ready to embrace nature, pick the flowers of your choice, make your own May Day wreath and succumb to the pleasures of luxury at some of the best eco-friendly hotels in Greece.
