Environmental Protection

A good example of the efforts toward sustainable touristic development, and the benefits that can be gained from an open exchange, is the maintenance of the trail network of Amorgos. We are organizing volunteering actions to clean the paths and restoring the dry stone walls of the trails network and all over the island. We are also actively organizing beach restoring.

We organize special Nature and Cultural Hiking Tours giving information on environmental, tradition and local habitats issues.  We propose hiking tour in the European Natura 2000 protected region of the island (“Stavros”)

We organize and promote special Hiking Packages in order to encourage our guest to discover the island on foot.

13 years ago, we create the International Yperia Convention on Tourism and Culture, to promote the natural beauty and culture of Amorgos Island foster an exchange of ideas on cultural heritage and environmental preservation, and promote current projects on the island.

We are supporting and promoting the “Trees For Greece” initiative with aim the reforestation and recultivation of unused or desecrated land, to protect against further soil degradation and to restore historically and ecologically valuable cultural landscapes. This project has already started on Amorgos, with the designation of a 20.000 sq.m. area allotted for planting oak trees.

We also contributes to European Energy Week by organizing seminar or colloquium with issues related to environmental protection and alternative Energy.
