We do care about Kerkini! All of us here at Oikoperiigitis hotel aim to take active steps through personal and business practices to help our birthplace, Kerkini, develop as a sustainable tourism destination.
Years ago, Ioannis Reklos started his crusade by opening the first local environmental support centre. Bit by bit, and after tireless work over time the "Ecological Centre Kerkinis - Mpelles" was completed, which is now known as "Oikoperiigitis"
Oikoperiigitis also develops various environmental training programs for schools and other local associations. and various environmental and agro-tourism excursions for travellers to experience Kerkini's natural beauty.
To help support the surrounding community, all staff employed at the hotel are from Kerkini village, and are provided with ongoing training. All the produce you find in their restaurant is also sourced from local producers, including from the nearby Women/Agro-tourism Cooperatives - which are also promoted for sale to tourists. Local fishermen have also had the opportunity to be trained, and have their boats repaired or improved in order to provide boat tours of the lake, thus creating further sustainable jobs.
We also try to provide tourists with some knowledge and education about the local environment, and a presentation about the lake, the wetlands, and the issues facing the area is held every Saturday evening (or on demand).
