Travel is all about experiencing the world’s beauty, and that means we need to protect it. So, rather than the latest fad or fashion, sustainability for all of us at the Oscar Suites & Village Green hotel in Crete, is nothing but a necessity. Which, put simply, has to do with the preservation and safekeeping of the places that we love the most: For us this is the stunning seaside Agia Marina-Platanias, just 9 klm from the iconic old town of Chania in Crete.
A long, sandy strip with blue flag awarded waters, lined up with quaint cafes, bars and tavernas overlooking the idyllic Thodorou island -the base of the protected Kri-Kri species– it truly is one of those places that get under your skin.
Filled with pride and honor for this little slice of heaven on earth we are lucky to call home, our aim has always been to showcase it to the world in all its glory.
That is why when we set about totally renovating Oscar Suites & Village back in 2013, we went the extra mile for the good of the environment. Nowadays an example setting Green hotel in Crete, the Oscar Suites & Village, lives and breathes by the principles of sustainable development.
An award winning Green hotel in Crete
A proud owner of several, world class environmental distinctions and certifications, including the ISO 14001:2015 which is in effect since 2016 or Tripadvisor’s excellence award in 2018, the Oscar Suites & Village, abounds with energy-efficient technology and sustainable materials.
A premium Green hotel in Crete, it uses solar energy for electricity and hot water; employs composting and water conservation systems; and meticulously practices waste recycling.
In line with our attempt to minimise our impact on the environment, Oscar’s Suites & Village building itself has been constructed from local natural materials; whilst its facilities are as energy efficient as possible through the extensive use of the latest green technologies. Similarly, Oscar’s Suites & Village complex is surrounded by colorful gardens with luscious trees and plants: Not only easy on the eye but also thoughtfully offering some much needed, all natural protection from the heat and the scorching sun.
