Going Green at Kouros

Our moto here at Kouros is Reduce Reuse Recycle

• We recycle batteries from TV controls, DVD players, CD players, A/C remote controls, electronic safes, electronic room key locks, totaling to 1550 batteries per season
• We purchase supplies in cases that can be reused, either by us or by the supplier: reuse soft drink glass bottles, beer glass bottles, grocery in plastic cases, bread delivered in wooden cases etc
• All external light bulbs have been replaced with low energy light bulbs and timers have been installed to reduce the energy consumed in most areas of the hotel
• Pebbles have been placed to all hotel roofs to allow better air ventilation and to prevent sun rays heating up the cement ceiling, resulting to lower A/C usage – save significantly on energy
• Timers have been installed in water boilers to prevent working 24hours, but simply emphasize on peak hours
• Recycle stained table cloths into Chefs approns and napkins
• When possible, we send hotel leaflets in electronic way (PDF) than paper
• Installed timer in outdoor jacuzzi to shutdown heating at night, when closed
