Sunprime Protaras Beach Hotel has a vision of reducing the environmental impact of its operations by using the principles of sustainability, implementing relevant legislation, and promoting an environmental culture. It is part of our values that environmental protection concerns everybody and benefits our employees, guests, the local community, our country, and the planet. The hotel sets environmental targets and actions for reducing its environmental impact, training its employees, supporting the local community, and involving its guests. As part of this strategy, we have the following goals:

• We give emphasis to: Reducing, Reusing, Recycling.
• We reduce our waste by planning food production purchases, using bulk quantities and large packaging wherever possible, and implementing a solid waste recycling program.
• We reduce our energy consumption and improve our efficiency by monitoring electricity consumption, using only energy-efficient lamps and equipment, and training our employees to save energy.
• We reduce our water consumption and improve our efficiency by reducing unnecessary washing of towels and bed linen, training our employees to save water, and monitoring water consumption and water leakages.
• We control hazardous substances by ensuring safe handling, storage, waste control, awareness, and monitoring of used quantities.
• We treat everyone fairly and with respect, regardless of their sexuality, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
• We provide training and development to all employees, a performance evaluation system, and equal opportunities for advancement.
• We support the local community, its organizations, and its people in protecting the environment, promoting local culture, supporting local events, providing assistance, and helping people in need.

The biggest environmental challenge for the tourism industry is the carbon footprint. Our goal is to reduce that by 50% by 2030, with a major step to use electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025. The hotel’s Green Team monitors our sustainability performance, reports every three months to Nordic Leisure Travel Group, and publishes an annual ESG report.

Gaia Olea was born out of our love for essential oils, herbs, vegetable oils, clays and other natural ingredients in Kalavasos, a small village in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. After studying and experimenting with these natural ingredients for a few years, in 2013 we decided to start sharing our products with the rest of the world.

Our soaps, balms, healing salves, therapeutic oils, lotions and other body care products are handmade exclusively with natural ingredients and in small batches, filled with metta vibrations.

This project reflects our love for mother nature and our need to ensure that our products do not harm us, other people, animals or the environment, so every effort is being made to source organic, fair trade, sustainable, ethically and locally produced ingredients when possible.

Our mission is to be a socially responsible business that goes beyond the scope of sustainability and actively contributes to regeneration and restoration. A completely green business is our target, and as part of this, we aim for our lab to operate solely on renewable energy, with plans to install solar panels to reduce our carbon footprint. As we are making all of our products by hand and our business is growing, we seek the right guidance to manage this growth and operate in an eco-friendly way on a larger scale.

We want to ensure that any equipment we purchase is energy-efficient and made with materials that are not harmful to the earth. Therefore, we plan to invest in equipment that will help us become more efficient in the manufacturing process, while also being as eco-friendly as possible.

We aim to receive more training in this area and implement additional SOPs to help us create and maintain an eco-friendly business in all aspects, from sourcing materials and manufacturing to distribution and waste management.

As part of our strategy to become a green business, we plan to develop a marketing plan that will help us reach the right audience—people willing to make lifestyle changes and embrace natural products that are not harmful to the earth, humans, and animals, and that support a healthy ecosystem. To achieve this, we need the help of a marketing strategist who understands the ethics and goals of a green business and can assist us in employing new eco-friendly marketing methods.

Our long-term goal is to source more raw materials locally, with a focus not only on using organic materials but also on ensuring they are fair trade and sustainable. We are gradually starting to grow our own raw materials and hope to expand this aspect in the future, as well as collaborate with more farmers who practice regenerative farming and maintain high ethical business standards.

dishes. Our aim is to always create a warm, lively atmosphere in a friendly environment.

In regards to sustainability, the restaurant’s culture and approach have been evolving around four thematic categories:

1. The supply of produce, with an emphasis on local and seasonal products, collaborating with local suppliers and producers within a 100 km radius while highlighting the best possible food and value for money that Cypriot cuisine can offer.

Dionysus Mansion was launched in 2016 in Limassol and was the first of a series of projects in the
island to honour Cypriot cuisine, but in a different one-of-a-kind way.
The name Dionysus because he was the God of the Vine, Grape Harvest & Winemaking, and the idea of
the restaurant was inspired by wine, fun and theatre/enjoyment. And that is where the concept was born
The perfect setting is not all; even more important is the fresh, delicious local food which will be offered
all day long.

On an island where fast food franchises, Chinese take-outs, and sushi spots have almost dominated the restaurant scene in recent years, there seems to be a lack of quality local cuisine. The aim of ‘Dionysus Mansion’ is to use local ingredients as much as possible and support local producers and farmers, while allowing our national cuisine to evolve.

Our strategy is prioritized by implementing a variety of sustainable practices and strategies throughout our operations, with the following objectives:

1. Energy and Resource Efficiency: Further reduce energy, water, and material consumption by 10% in two years and 15% within the next four years. Implement energy-efficient equipment, water-saving practices, and waste reduction initiatives to achieve this objective.
2. Sustainable Products and Responsible Ingredient Sourcing: By the end of four years, ensure that at least 75% of our ingredients are locally sourced and/or organic. We will collaborate with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable practices and prioritize ingredients that have a lower environmental impact.
3. Sustainability and Zero-Kilometer Thematic Menus and Events: Further expand the sustainability and zero-kilometer thematic menus and nights/events that the restaurant has hosted in the past.
4. Sustainable Product Design and Partnerships: Design, develop, and bring to market at least three innovative dishes every year that are inspired by Cypriot indigenous ingredients, cuisine, culture, history, and product seasonality. Further expand our partner and supplier network by collaborating with microfarmers and producers to find new ingredients and products.
5. Waste Management and Recycling: Implement a comprehensive waste management program to achieve almost zero waste to landfill by the end of four years. This includes composting organic waste, encouraging reusable packaging, and promoting recycling among staff and customers.
6. Community Education and Engagement: Develop, host, and participate in bi-monthly workshops and events to raise awareness about sustainability and environmental practices among our customers and the local community. Engage with various organizations to promote sustainable living habits, sustainable food, and balanced nutrition.
7. Sustainability Management System and Certification: Develop a sustainability management system and achieve certification with Green Key or EcoCook by the end of 2024.

Charalambos Holiday Cottage (Self catering apartments) is owned and managed by Charalambos family and is located in the center of Kalavasos village

Kalavasos village is 4 Kms from Zigi and Governor´s Beach, 30 minutes from Nicosia or Larnaca and 15 minutes from Limassol, centrally located to tour the whole island.

We will also be happy to accept bookings for the entire house, an ideal solution for several families holidaying together or small weddings or private parties. We offer special rates for short and long stay from 1st November to 31st March.

Our logo is a shy local lizard, the “Laudakia stellio cypriaca” or the locals call it “Karkoutas”. As the house was left uninhabited for decades the little lizards “took over”. It was unfortunate that during the renovation process we had to “evict” them.

We are passionate about developing a sustainable rural and eco-tourism facility. Our mission is to be able, after we develop a sustainable facility, to pass this knowledge and know-how to our kids. Following are our objectives that we plan to maintain or even improve upon:

Electricity: We want to continue having all our bulbs as energy-saving on our premises. Outdoors, we have motion sensor lighting and key card-activated electricity for all rooms. Ceiling fans are in all the rooms, together with solar water heaters. We change our sheets and towels only once per week or when requested by guests to save both electricity and water. We dry our sheets in the fresh air and never in dryers.

Waste Management: We recycle, and we do not have individual bathroom amenities.

Social Responsibility: We promote the use of local products such as Christoudia, Gaia Olea, etc., on our premises.

We also organize various events to promote the well-being of the village and our culture. All our rooms are non-smoking. Additionally, we would like to have a bee hotel in the garden.

Bliss’ core purpose is to create high-quality and exquisite desserts/pastries that are authentic to tradition. Through innovation, we aim to create delicious pastries, desserts, and products that are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a treat for the planet by being good, clean, and fair. These three pillars have shaped our philosophy, future vision, and objectives by not only focusing on our core desserts and baked goods but rather extending on the design, development, and production of innovative and locally sourced ingredients that extend the line of sustainable food by focusing on quality rather than quantity.

Bliss, good food is defined as “food that is healthy, green, fair, and affordable.” Good food is not necessarily only fruits and vegetables but also meat, dairy, fish, and grains. In this sense, healthy is the food that offers nourishment and enables people to thrive; green refers to the manner and extent that is environmentally sustainable; fair means that no one along the production line was exploited during its creation; and affordable means that all people can have access to it.

With the term clean, Bliss focuses on the production method of a product, which must be environmentally friendly and adhere to sustainable ethical practices. Fair is defined as the creation of conditions for labor that respect a person’s rights and can produce adequate rewards to enhance social and economic development within society.

Our strategy is prioritized by implementing a variety of sustainable practices and strategies throughout our operations and the setup of the following objectives:

1. Energy and Resource Efficiency: Further reduce energy, water, and material consumption by 5% in two years and 15% within the next four years. Implement energy-efficient equipment, LED lighting, water-saving practices, and waste reduction initiatives to achieve this objective.
2. Renewable Energy Integration: Further increase the solar energy production capabilities to generate a minimum of 50% of Bliss’ energy needs within the next four years.
3. Sustainable Products and Responsible Ingredient Sourcing: By the end of four years, ensure that at least 50% of our ingredients are locally sourced and organic. We will collaborate with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable practices and prioritize ingredients that have a lower environmental impact.
4. Sustainable Product Design: Design, develop, and bring to market three innovative products that are inspired by Cypriot indigenous ingredients and global consumer trends (healthy eating and vegetarian/vegan nutrition, food sourcing, and ethics). Such product examples can be carob chocolate bars, vegetarian and vegan desserts to be produced at Bliss and then distributed to other HORECA businesses.
5. Waste Management and Recycling: Implement a comprehensive waste management program to achieve almost zero waste to landfill by the end of four years. This includes composting organic waste, encouraging reusable packaging, and promoting recycling among staff and customers.
6. Community Education and Engagement: Develop, host, and participate in quarterly workshops and events to raise awareness about sustainability and environmental practices among our customers and the local community. Engage with schools and organizations to promote sustainable living habits, sustainable food, and balanced nutrition.

Protecting Turtles

The Akamas National Park is a critical nesting site for loggerhead and green sea turtles. To minimize disturbance to these endangered species, our company can implement strict guidelines for tour routes, ensuring a safe distance from nesting sites. Educating guests about the importance of turtle conservation through guided tours and informational materials can also raise awareness and foster respect for these creatures.

Reducing Fuel Consumption

One of the key contributors to pollution and environmental degradation is fuel consumption. The company can adopt a variety of measures to reduce its carbon footprint:

1. Even though the electric vehicle industry is still a bit behind, we are looking to transition to electric quadbikes and buggies in the next couple of years. This can significantly reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Electric vehicles are quieter, emit no exhaust fumes, and have lower maintenance requirements.
2. Efficient route planning can optimize fuel usage by minimizing unnecessary travel distances. This not only conserves fuel but also enhances the guest experience by focusing on the most scenic and significant areas of the park.
3. Ensuring that vehicles are properly maintained, including tire pressure checks and engine tune-ups, can improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Minimizing Pollution

To preserve the pristine beauty of the Akamas National Park, pollution must be minimized:

1. Switching to biodegradable cleaning products for vehicle maintenance helps prevent harmful chemicals from entering the environment.
2. Implementing a strict “carry-in, carry-out” policy for guests, along with providing designated trash disposal areas, prevents littering and ensures that waste is properly managed.
3. By modifying the rest of our current vehicle fleet and operating electric vehicles, we can reduce noise pollution, preserving the tranquility of the park for both wildlife and visitors.

Managing Waste

Effective waste management is crucial for maintaining the park’s integrity:

1. We could provide clearly marked recycling bins for guests to separate recyclable materials, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
2. Offer reusable water bottles and containers to guests, reducing the use of single-use plastics during tours.
3. Partnering with local communities for waste collection and recycling programs can contribute to overall sustainability efforts.

By embracing sustainable practices within Akamas National Park, we can play a pivotal role in safeguarding this natural treasure. Through the protection of turtles, reduced fuel consumption, minimized pollution, and effective waste management, the company can not only enhance the guest experience but also leave a positive and lasting impact on the environment. As we navigate the delicate balance between tourism and conservation, such efforts become crucial for ensuring the beauty and biodiversity of Akamas National Park for generations to come.

This ambitious project is designed with a profound respect for the island’s natural beauty and traditional architecture. The project aims to merge contemporary eco-design with the charm of traditional Corsican habitats, creating a harmonious blend of modern comfort and environmental responsibility.

At the core of the Hammeau de Petripini project is a comprehensive strategy for eco-design that has guided its development from the initial site visit through to its ongoing evolution. This approach emphasizes the use of sustainable construction techniques and renewable energy technologies, reflecting the highest standards in environmental care and energy efficiency.

One of the key elements of the project is the integration of perennial materials available on-site, which not only reduces the environmental impact but also ensures that the buildings blend seamlessly with their surroundings. The design preserves the typology of traditional „caseddi”—Corsican stone houses—by situating the residences in isolated locations surrounded by vegetation and following the natural contours of the land. This careful planning ensures that the structures integrate into the landscape, minimizing their visual impact and supporting local wildlife.

Sustainability is further enhanced by the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems and the installation of solar panels, which contribute to the site’s energy independence and efficient water management. The project also includes the creation of a hybrid hydro power plant that combines thermodynamic, solar, and geothermal energy. This innovative system optimizes energy use by recycling thermal energy and integrating photovoltaic solar panels to maximize energy efficiency.

The Hammeau de Petripini project addresses the need for sustainable tourism by promoting year-round use of the site. The aim is to create a dynamic and sustainable economic activity that caters to various customer profiles, including families, corporate clients, and seasonal visitors. To support this, the project incorporates shaded outdoor areas, encourages pedestrian and bicycle access, and minimizes the need for car use by connecting all residences to a central reception building through dedicated pathways.

In addition to these measures, the project is committed to enhancing local biodiversity and supporting Corsican culture. This includes the preservation of existing vegetation, the reuse of materials from construction sites, and the establishment of a vegetable garden and aromatic herb cultivation. The incorporation of local products and artisanal crafts into the site’s amenities further supports the local economy and promotes a deeper connection with Corsican traditions.

Looking ahead, the Hammeau de Petripini plans to develop an awareness space with a small conference room and library focused on sustainable development, Corsican culture, and environmental education. The project will also feature a small grocery store offering organic and bulk products to reduce reliance on cars and promote local produce.

So for us, regionality and local food is not a fashion, but rather the ingredients and cooking methods we love and know, and through which we can easily express ourselves in the language of cuisine. We often draw on the traditions of Hungarian peasant cooking, using modern techniques alongside centuries-old recipes, looking for valuable traditions that can be passed on. Alkimista is a modern interpretation of old memories.

Another important element of our concept is the personal character, the storytelling, the reference to old and new culinary works, which is why our dinners are led by the chef – a unique feature of the tiny restaurant, even in the country.

By having our guests plan, book in advance and arrive for dinners, they help us – and all of us – to connect the stories that continue to tell, and to operate in a clean, sustainable, waste-free way.

The production of raw materials is one of our key sustainability goals. We plan to grow herbs, vegetables and fruits to ensure our local, organic raw materials. A hydroponic system would provide a state of the art irrigation solution.
