Koutsounari Traditional Cottages is an establishment that takes its responsibility to the environment seriously, implementing a comprehensive environmental management policy throughout the property. The management encourages all guests to be mindful of their energy usage during their stay. Before departing from their cottages, guests are requested to confirm all lights have been turned off, encompassing areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, and veranda, and this includes reading lamps and main room lights. Moreover, guests are prompted to power down air conditioning units and disconnect any device chargers or similar items to prevent wasteful energy use. Even standby devices like TVs are requested to be fully switched off, reflecting the hotel's dedication to energy conservation.
Furthering their commitment to eco-friendly practices, Koutsounari Traditional Cottages also promotes water conservation and reduction in detergent use. They have a simple system in place for towel usage – a towel on the rack signifies the guest's intention to reuse it, while a towel on the bed indicates a request for a fresh one. This initiative not only reduces water usage, but it also lessens the amount of detergent that enters our water systems, striking a blow against pollution. In these ways, Koutsounari Traditional Cottages seeks to enhance guest experiences while preserving the planet for future generations. The establishment successfully exemplifies how sustainable practices can seamlessly blend with hospitality, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable world.
