Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Kapetánissa Concept Studios, environmental and social sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that even small choices can make a big difference, and we invite you to join us in creating a stay that is as responsible as it is relaxing.
Our Green Practices
Recycling & Organic Waste
Inside your studio, you’ll find clear instructions for separating organic waste and recyclable materials such as glass, paper, and aluminium. We personally deliver all recyclable items to certified facilities in Heraklion, while organic waste is transformed into natural fertilizers or animal feed.
Local, Eco-Friendly Toiletries
The toiletries we provide are produced in Crete using eco-friendly methods. All packaging is returned to the company for reuse, helping reduce waste even further.
Water Conservation
We have installed water-saving systems that minimise consumption without compromising your comfort. Our tap water is fully filtered and safe to drink—feel free to refill your reusable bottle during your stay, as we do not use plastic water bottles on our premises.
Energy Efficiency
Our studios have been renovated to naturally stay cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing the need for excessive energy use. In addition, the A/C operates only when all windows and exterior doors are closed, ensuring energy isn’t wasted.
Supporting Local Producers
Any products we offer you—such as olive oil or fresh fruit—come directly from local farmers and producers we trust.
Thoughtful Linen Care
Bedsheets and towels are changed upon request. This practice significantly reduces water and energy consumption while still ensuring your comfort.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
We use environmentally safe cleaning products throughout our studios and can provide eco-friendly laundry detergent upon request.
Join Us in Making a Difference
We encourage all guests to support our sustainability efforts by following the simple guidelines provided in your studio. Together, we can help protect the natural beauty and cultural richness of Crete—one stay at a time.
