Living in harmony with nature
We believe that is our responsibility to do what we can to ensure the harmony between humans and nature. After all nature is our forever home. Will you join us?
Our sustainable practices:
Green roofs
Due to the reduced need for air conditioning in the summer &less heating in the winter, a green roof significantly reduced energy consumption.
Also, the green roof absorbs water during heavy winter rains, helping with storm water management. Other advantages of green roofs are :
- Longer roof lifespan
- Air quality improvement
- Wildlife habitat support/increasing biodiversity
- Reduce the effect of urban heat island
Building Architecture
Cave houses (Greek iposkafa) present sustainable solutions with lower energy demands . The earth acts as the thermal mass making it easier to maintain a steady indoor air temperature and therefore reduces energy cost for heating or cooling.
Local community craftsmen/artisan
We choose to support the local community in any possible way. All the workers who worked to make “Ivy’s” happen are locals. Also, the most of our furniture & decoration are made by local craftsmen and artisans.
Thoughtful Food
We think carefully about where our food comes from and how it gets to us. Shopping local, growing our own and delicious and healthy food we offer our guests. What we eat not only has an impact on our personal health, but also on the health of our planet. Therefore, we like to know exactly where our food comes from. Making the right choices to eat local, fresh produce and thinking about how our food gets to us makes a difference.
Natural materials
Organic cotton was selected for our lines, towels and bathrobes. Our mattresses are custom made vegan order from coco mat. Our amenities are eco & vegan friendly certified
Energy
All our appliances and light bulbs throughout the premises are energy efficient
Plastic free
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues , as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them (nationalgerographic.com )
We choose to avoid the unnecessary plastics from our lives (if it’s not possible we choose biodegradable or recycled)
Plastic bottles take up to 450 years to decompose in landfill. For this reason we replace the plastic bottle of water with paper or glass bottle
Reduce Reuse Recycle
- We recycle & we encourage you to do the same during your stay, using the recycling bin in the room.
- Organic waste from our resort makes excellent compost for our vegetable gardens.
- Chemical based cleaning products have been reduced to zero and we only use natural, biodegradable products
