The Greek island of Lipsi is seeking to promote an authentic and sustainable holiday experience this summer, which shuns environmentally damaging artificial swimming pools and sunbeds in favor of more natural ways to enjoy nature that don’t waste resources, ANA reports.
With the long-term support of the municipality, local residents and tourism professionals are rejecting and discouraging the construction of artificial swimming pools on “Calypso’s Island”, for a new and environmentally-aware approach.
The island is backing up its proposal with a short video that follows a young couple as they enjoy an idyllic holiday swimming in “natural pools” of azure waters, threading their way through the narrow alleys of traditional Greek island architecture, enjoying culinary delights and local produce, watching sunsets and spending their days hiking, riding, scuba diving and taking boat trips.
It was recently announced that Lipsi is becoming a model destination for water autonomy with zero water waste, while the island is implementing a groundbreaking program on an international scale for the planting of seabed gardens, which could provide future solutions for dealing with global pollution.
