We strive to make our business as sustainable as possible. Every industry has an impact on the environment, and tourism is no exception, especially in Santorini. Let us make the difference together!
- We provide Santorini day tours: Get off the beaten path in Thirassia, enjoy the fantastic views while walking down from the highest peak of Profitis Ilias or walk along ancient paths from Fira to Oia.
- We encourage you to use our reusable jute bags along with your guide during your walking tours.
- We have stopped offering single-use plastic water bottles, but that does not mean our guests will stay thirsty – water from now on comes in environmentally friendly TetraPaks.
- Amongst other things, we make sure to use energy light bulbs in our office.
- We also limit the use of ink and paper by printing only if necessary and, in this case, double-sided. The waste produced is being separated and recycled daily.
- All our vehicles are Euro 6 emission standards.
Moreover, it is essential to support the local community. Our guests love it when we visit a local organic farm market or point out a family-owned bakery at the corner where they can find fresh local pastries or take them to a local family-owned winery to taste a famous Vinsanto.
Even more, SantoriniExperts is a member of ecotourism-greece.com, and we are engaged with the Travelife certification program. We have started the process of working step by step toward complying with its international sustainability standards.
“Travelife is a three-stage certification program for tour operators and travel agents: (1) Travelife Engaged, (2) Travelife Partner and (3) Travelife Certified. We are at stage 1 – Travelife Engaged. We are working to move forward to stage 2 – Travelife Partner.”
This way, we hope to learn even more ways to protect the environment, keeping in mind, there is no plan-et B!
