Environment

Breamen and reforestation concept. A tree for every guest, as a gift.

Reforestation

We’re thrilled to inform our guests, that since January 2024, our “A tree for every guest” project is running. A tree has been planted for every guest as a gift, and this initiative will continue. In order to help our little blue planet to become even more beautiful and help the environment, one tree per visitor traveling with us, will be planted through various organization like (but not restricted to) WWF Hellas and/or other.

Only Greece had around 32M of visitors in 2023, meaning that in a three year period if for every visitor a tree is planted, at least theoretically, almost 100.000.000 trees can be planted!

All together, helping and sustaining our amazing world.
