Cyprus food and foraging winter holiday

Planet

The conservation and protection of the environment come primarily from raising personnel and guest awareness and consciousness towards a sustainable future. It furthermore encourages always having a positive attitude towards this goal without compromising the protection of personnel at all levels of the organisation and the enjoyment of a quality experience for our guests. These actions are a clear indication of our commitment to continuous improvement and pollution prevention.

We are based in a national park and as such every resident and visitor is a caretaker of our beautiful and natural environment. We leave no litter, and we take out anything left behind by those less vigilant visitors

The village draws water from a local spring. This provides water for both the residents and agriculture.

In the last couple of years, there has been a shift towards renewable energy. Cyprus has both Wind turbines and solar farms. On a micro-level roof top solar water heating and photovoltaic systems are in place..

Making a difference

When we are on an excursions we leave no trash behind. We even take trash that was there when we arrived on site.

We embrace the new European Bauhaus policy and actively follow core foundation stones to address this important policy

1. Stewardship of the landscape using a regenerative agriculture approach.
2. Encouraging local cultural heritage, traditions, and elements of life and the environment that are unique to the particular rural area being addressed with an active contribution from the local authority encouraging the documentation and passing on of skills that are being lost sometimes skipping generations completely.
3. Adopting a Greening policy that benefits both Fauna and Flora and works towards combating the harmful results of global warming whilst encouraging sustainable agrotourism and ecotourism
4. Promoting agriculture and waste management that does not result in macro plastic waste being abandoned alongside agricultural fields and focuses on chemical-free pesticides and organic fertilizing.

People

Providing local benefits from tourism, especially to the local community. Agioi Vavatsinias is just off the tourist route and our goal is to incorporate the village on the tourist route through Eco and Agro tourism and provide extra work for the local community.

Most importantly we work with displaced migrants during the year from Africa, Middle East and Europe (War Zones), whilst actively taking part in the renewal of our village, utilising renewable resources wherever possible.

Our goal is to create a national heritage site in the village and use this as a training platform for both local youth and young people who have been through traumatic life experiences to learn traditional Cypriot trades and crafts both as experiential therapy and a way to generate income.
