Eco-Luxury in Greece
Greece is a world leader in food sustainability, and is making great strides towards going green in other ways. Our favorites include Nomad, Native Eco Villas, ACRO, the Rooster, Coco Mat, Aristi Mountain Resort, Eumelia, Phos, and the amazing Amanzoe.
You can make a difference in Greece by helping conserve Loggerhead sea turtles during the nesting and hatching seasons (mid-May to mid-September) by marking off their nests to keep people away, and protecting baby hatchlings from light pollution so they can find their way to sea without being disoriented.
