Tips & More

From the beaches of Rhodes to the vibrant streets of Athens, Greece is a destination that captivates with its beauty and invites us to protect it. Because the most meaningful journeys leave the gentlest footprints.

Eco-conscious travel isn’t just about following a trend; it’s about making choices that preserve what we love for generations to come. With every mindful step, we can travel lighter and experience more.

At H Hotels Collection, we welcome guests who seek refined comfort while embracing a more thoughtful approach to travel. Here are a few simple ways to explore Greece more sustainably.

Five Ways To Be More Eco-Conscious When You Travel

1. Stay Where Sustainability Matters

Start by choosing accommodation that shares your values. The trend in hospitality today is about adopting greener environmental practices, from energy-saving systems and water conservation to reduced single-use plastics. At H Hotels Collection, we are delighted that our properties in Athens and Rhodes offer stay experiences that’s aligned with a deeper respect for the world we reside in while our corporate social responsibility extends to the community on an ongoing basis. 

2. Pack Reusables & Travel Light

Eco-conscious travel is all about small actions that have big ripple effects. Bring a refillable water bottle, fabric tote, or bamboo utensils to reduce waste on the go. These are especially useful when exploring local markets, taking a picnic to the beach, or strolling through Old Town Rhodes.

3. Choose Local, Seasonal & Authentic

Supporting the communities you visit is one of the most impactful ways to be an eco-conscious traveller. Ask about seasonal produce and the dish of the day, shop from local artisans shops, and seek out meaningful experiences that connect you to the local vibe. Our Concierge teams can guide you to nearby wineries, traditional tavernas, or even arrange a hands-on cooking class, ensuring your choices benefit both people and place.

4. Move Through the Land, Not Over It

Walking, cycling, and public transport are not only lower-impact options—they also reveal places you’d miss otherwise. Choosing central locations close to metro stations in cities, like Titania Hotel Athens, makes sightseeing easy and effortlessly eco-friendly. On island destinations, like Rhodes, dare to explore scenic trails with guided hiking tours or experience the landscape on horseback, both available through our Concierge. Fewer emissions, clear conscience, and more moments worth remembering.

5. Leave No Trace—But Take the Memories

Whether sailing the Aegean or hiking up to Monolithos Castle, travel with care. Stay on marked paths, avoid taking natural souvenirs, and be mindful around marine life. H Hotels Collection offers curated experiences that bring you closer to nature—without leaving a mark behind.

And don’t forget to share the beauty you’ve discovered—responsibly.

Capture the moments that matter and tag @hhotelscollection or use #hhotelscollection for a chance to be featured on our official Instagram. We’d love to see how you embrace eco-conscious travel with care, curiosity, and a light footprint.

At H Hotels Collection, we believe travel is most rewarding when it’s not only enjoyable—but also responsible. Whether in the heart of Athens or by the shores of Rhodes, we’re here to help you experience Greece in a way that feels as good as it looks.
