Kalamata Mediterranean Villas since the beginning of their operation have set as a priority the implementation of sustainability practices, in order to reduce the environmental impact, but also to enhance the social impact. The operation of all accommodation is based solely on "green energy", so as to leave a minimal energy footprint in the environment.

Booking.com, the largest online travel agency for lodging reservations, has given us its new "Sustainable Travel" logo for all the villas of the Kalamata Mediterranean Villas complex.

More and more visitors are choosing to enjoy trips that will not only offer them moments of relaxation and fun, but will be trips that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
