Sustainability - Kinsterna Hotel

Biodiversity

In collaboration with the Municipality of Monemvasia, Kinsterna has completed the Study and Signage of Old Trails in the surrounding area. This initiative aims to preserve and highlight the region’s natural beauty, offering guests access to scenic hiking routes and a deeper connection with the local environment. By restoring and marking these historical paths, Kinsterna supports sustainable tourism while promoting the area’s cultural and ecological heritage.

Building Stronger Communities Together

Community Engagement

At Kinsterna, we actively support the local community through partnerships, donations, and sustainable practices. More than 60% of our produce is sourced from local farmers, including ingredients like cheese or smoked trout, sustaining our neighbors and enhancing the local economy. Our facilities are open to locals, and we collaborate with local suppliers to champion eco-friendly methods. Part of the vegetables of our orchards are donated to local charities and food banks, helping ensure that the community thrives alongside us.

Environmental Responsibility

Situated on a verdant 25-acre estate, Kinsterna thrives amid olive groves, vineyards, and orange orchards. Over 250 native plant species flourish here, including rare varieties that reflect our commitment to preserving the local ecosystem. As stewards of this land, we meticulously cultivate our gardens and orchards with sustainable methods, focusing on biodiversity and organic practices. Recognized for our actions by Greek Tourism Awards that address at least 4 out of 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals as set by UNO, Kinsterna stands as a beacon of responsible land stewardship and environmental care.

Zero Carbon Footprint

Our mission to achieve a zero-carbon footprint led to the creation of Kinsterna’s photovoltaic park in 2024. This renewable energy initiative minimizes our carbon emissions, aligning our operations with cleaner energy sources. Beyond powering our estate, the surplus energy generated is offered to vulnerable households and to local churches, further supporting our community. Through sustainable energy solutions, we aim to protect the natural beauty surrounding us while enhancing our guest ex perience, reaffirming our commitment to long-term ecological and social responsibility.
