Multi activity vacation in Greece, Peloponnese

Planet

We aim to share our experiences of this beautiful area of the Peloponnese with visitors who care about the quality of their food and the preservation of the natural environment.

Lavender Lodge is intended to be a tranquil retreat for guests to enjoy local foods, explore the bountiful wildlife and nature in our gardens and grove and to receive therapeutic wellness treatments such as massages and aromatherapy days as well as participating in cultural archaeological visits and appreciating nature in areas of outstanding beauty such as waterfalls and island coves.

We grow plants, herbs and flowers organically in order to attract pollinators and use our plants to create herbal healing remedies and aromatherapy products for guests. We encourage all guests to save water through the use of appropriate signage.

We use waterbutts and onsite underground reservoirs around the property to conserve natural rain-water for irrigation of the land and for any other use.

People

We are committed to the positive development of our local community in Kyparissia; through our work practices and through our efforts to educate our visitors about the area.

We aim to work in full accordance with local practices, customs and expectations regarding olive farming and sustainable living. We support our local businesses by buying exclusively from them for all of our farming requirements. We employ local olive pickers and harvesters when necessary and use the local press for our harvests.

We grow most of our own vegetables and obtain the rest from local suppliers.

We organise trips for visitors to the local Watermill where they learn about the local production of bread, orchard and herbal products and to Kyparissia castle and the Plateia where we buy them a meal and drinks in the Old Town Tavernas and through doing so, we regularly support the local business.

We encourage visitors to purchase wholesome organic products, informative books and memorabilia from local artisans and crafters.
