Archontiko Nikolopoulou embraces the eco-conscious ethos wholeheartedly, reflected in its substantial green certifications from EarthCheck and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), as well as being recognized by GSTC-Recognized Standards. This eco-friendly haven relies on renewable energy sources, specifically hydropower, to meet the energy requirements of the premises, considerably reducing its carbon footprint.
The resort's commitment to green practices extends beyond energy production. Built with sustainable resources, the hotel structure is meticulously designed to maximize airflow and natural light, consequently decreasing reliance on artificial lighting, heating, and air conditioning. Along with high-performance, triple-glazed windows that regulate indoor temperatures, Archontiko Nikolopoulou's contribution to environmental conservation extends to wildlife conservation and reforestation initiatives. Moreover, non-toxic cleaning products, LED lighting, and training for staff to uphold environmental policies add to the hotel's robust eco-friendly practices. Water conservation is prioritized with toilets designed to flush using up to only 6 liters per flush. Lastly, the commitment to the local community shines through their food sourcing policy, which ensures that most ingredients used in meal preparation are locally produced, further reducing their carbon footprint. To ensure continued adherence to their green objectives, an energy audit is performed at least once every five years.
