It’s day two of our New Year's sustainability pledge and our three most important travel words today are ‘Local, Local, Local’. 👌🏼⁠
⁠
We’ve been inspired by @natgeo including #Karpathos and the Dodecanese Islands as one of the Top 5 spots for Slow Travel in 2023.⁠

[1/5]

[2/5] “Now less trafficked islands in the archipelago - like Karpathos, halfway between Crete and Rhodes - must balance the economic need for tourism with the environmental stresses it causes.

[3/5] In this arid, hilly land of milk and honey, many families keep bees and make their own butter and cheese... An important aspect of sustainable tourism... is to involve as many locals as possible,

[4/5] whether it’s through demonstrations of traditional winemaking or through night fishing excursions with fishermen.”
