For Minoa Palace Resort, growth is meaningful, only when it can be in perfect harmony with the natural environment.
View below some of our small, yet significant actions:
GENERAL ACTIONS:
- We have replaced 90% of our conventional bulbs with energy saving bulbs.
- We have installed a central heating system, with a temperature regulator, that adapts to the temperature of the environment. The full insulation of the pipes limits the energy loses.
- We use solar energy for the heating of 80% of the water, during the summer months.
- We use gas for cooking, in all of our kitchens.
- We use new-technology washing machines, specially designed to save energy.
- We use automated watering for our gardens that works mostly during the night, in order to minimize the losses of water, due to heat.
- Every month, we proceed to chemical analysis of the pool water, as well as of the potable water, carried out by a credited laboratory.
- We are connected with the waste water treatment of the municipality of Platanias.
- We use returnable packaging, as glass bottles, barrels etc. for beer, water, soft drink, fruit & vegetables.
ROOMS & GUESTS:
- An automated electronical system with key cards is installed to all rooms, that disconnects most devices when removed from their base.
- A weekly seminar made by the Greek protection society “Archelon” is taking place inside our premises. Our guests are informed about the endangered sea turtles “Caretta Caretta” and what they can do regarding their protection.
- We use an On-request system for linen change. Our guests with the use of the Green Card found in all rooms, ask for sheets and towels to be changed, only upon request.
- We encourage guests and staff to recycle.
