Argo Apartments Sustainability & Green Policy

At Argo Apartments, we are deeply committed to preserving the environment and ensuring that our operations contribute to a more sustainable future. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint while maintaining the comfort and satisfaction of our guests.

Here’s how we’re working towards a greener tomorrow:

Our Actions

Recycling Initiatives: We recycle paper, newspapers, glass, batteries, fluorescent and long-life bulbs, cans, and cartridges.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning: We reduce the use of harmful cleaning chemicals, opting for eco-friendly alternatives whenever possible.
Paper Usage Reduction: We minimize paper use by implementing double-sided printing practices.
Encouraging Sustainable Travel: We provide information about local walks, cycling routes, bike rental services, and bus timetables at Reception to encourage exploration by public transport, bicycle, or on foot.
Sustainable Landscaping: We use drought-resistant and native plants for landscaping, reducing water needs and supporting the local ecosystem. Irrigation is carefully controlled and scheduled at night to minimize water loss from evaporation.

Our Current Practices

Solar Energy: We utilize solar panels to heat water efficiently.
Energy-Saving Equipment: Our air-conditioning units are energy-efficient, and public areas are lit with low-energy LED bulbs.
Conservation Efforts: We prioritize turning off unnecessary lights and taps to reduce energy and water waste.

Future Goals

We are continuously improving our sustainability measures by:

Monitoring electricity and water consumption to identify and implement further reductions.
Updating our website with detailed green travel information, such as local bicycle hire options.
Transitioning to LED lighting throughout all apartments.
Installing water-saving devices in toilets to reduce water usage.

Green Policy for Our Guests

We invite our guests to join us in our commitment to sustainability by taking simple yet impactful steps:

Turn off lights, TVs, and other electronics when leaving the apartment.
Use air-conditioning mindfully, turning it off when windows or doors are open.
Dispose of recyclable materials like paper, plastic bottles, and cans in the special recycling bins provided.

Your cooperation helps us protect the beautiful environment of Crete while ensuring a delightful stay for all our visitors.
