Sustainability at Porto Carras

The Porto Carras Resort keeps guests informed by communicating its green choices, with its everyday actions and some useful suggestions to safeguard the environment; reminding us how small gestures can have a big impact on the entire ecosystem.

Some of the resorts green choices are highlighted below:

Minimising waste and promoting sustainable green practices like recycling.
Eco Towel card: only if the towels are dropped on the floor will they be replaced, to save water and limit the use of chemicals.
Eco bed-linen card: housekeeping staff will await request if guest’s preference is to change bed linen every day.
Ecological Cleaning products: the resort is engaged to increase the use of bio- cleaning products.
Use of energy-saving lamps: reducing electric energy consumption.
Flow-reducers in the sinks and bathrooms to save water.
Bath amenities without preservatives or artificial ingredients.
Anti-Plastics: using bio-straws, bio spoons, and other utilities helps minimizing the amount of plastic in the resort by using other materials such as paper, wood, polycarbonate items, and so on.
