Our Values in Sustainable Tourism
As hotel owners in Lefkada, a naturally gifted and culturally rich region,
we believe that true hospitality begins with respect.
Respect for the land, the sea, the people,
and the traditions that shape our home.
Sustainability is not a trend for us.
Instead, it is our core guiding value—
the foundation of every decision we make.
Consequently, it shapes the entire experience we offer
at Myrto Homes eco-friendly stays,
where guests enjoy comfort in harmony with nature.
Respecting and Preserving the Natural Environment
To begin with, our commitment starts
with the landscape surrounding us.
First of all, we focus on protecting the Ionian Sea
and the native vegetation that defines our region.
Therefore, we choose responsible practices
such as efficient water-management systems,
reduced plastic use, and low-impact garden design
that favors local, drought-resistant plants.
By doing so, we work with nature rather than against it,
ensuring its beauty remains intact for future generations.
Moreover, these long-term actions help reduce our footprint
and promote a healthier, more resilient environment.
Supporting Local Culture and Community
In addition, respect for local culture
is central to our philosophy.
Likewise, we support regional traditions
and collaborate with small producers, farmers,
and local artisans.
As a result, guests discover authentic cuisine,
charming villages, and true island craftsmanship.
At the same time, this connection
strengthens our community, preserves heritage,
and keeps local knowledge alive.
Furthermore, it contributes directly
to the economic wellbeing of the island.
Promoting Responsible and Balanced Tourism
Furthermore, we believe tourism must support
the quality of life of local residents.
For this reason, we invest in employment,
promote fair working conditions,
and protect the fragile coastal environment.
In this way, guests enjoy comfort
while simultaneously reducing environmental impact.
Similarly, our approach ensures tourism
remains balanced, respectful, and sustainable
throughout the entire season.
A Shared Effort Toward Sustainability
Ultimately, sustainability is our compass.
For this reason, every guest staying with us
joins a shared effort to protect our landscape.
Together, we preserve its beauty
so it continues inspiring future generations.
In conclusion, responsible tourism
is a journey we walk together—
at Myrto Homes eco-friendly stays.
