As a part of our continued commitment to responsible tourism, we operate this trip in a way that aims to reduce impacts and to give as much back as possible to the local communities. By visiting this rural and traditional part of Greece that is usually missed by mainstream tourism, we can help local communities benefit economically from tourism, something they would usually miss out on. With small groups participating in low impact activities and walking on already marked out trails, this can be achieved without compromising the environment. In addition, we use existing local services and accommodation and take most meals in small cafes and local tavernas, which puts money straight into the local economy. This trip has low environmental impacts, and we believe helps conserve rural lifestyles.
We have had an excellent long-term relationship with the operator and this helps to stabilise their income generation and so helps to create a more sustainable future. We use local leaders who are committed to responsible tourism and helping to preserve the way of life in their area. We limit the maximum number to 16. This we believe reduces the impact on the local communities and the environment.
UK Office: We have at our offices worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place. We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism.
Carbon balancing: Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
