Corfu’s shore is a playful fusion of shades of blue and hues of green. No wonder the island has been called the Emerald Lady of the Ionian. Boasting some incredible beaches that are very reminiscent of more exotic, tropical destinations, the Ionian sea is a liquid, crystalline dream. Water quality, clean beaches and environmentally sustainable practices are the way to maintaining the Ionian sea dream, and to preserve it for the future generations.

This is why when it comes to holidays by the sea, Blue Flag beaches are a sought-after feature. Apart from guaranteeing a swim in perfectly clean waters, a Blue Flag means that there are environmentally sustainable practices in place to ensure high eco-friendly standards that extend to safety, awareness and general environmental management.

We are incredibly proud that the Agios Petros beach of our Mayor Capo Di Corfu  and our Kontogialos beach of Mayor Pelekas Monastery are two of those beaches recently awarded the Blue Flag. It is the seal of approval for the quality of our waters, our sustainable practices that preserve the natural environment, the protection & security of beachgoers & swimmers and the overall promotion of environmental awareness. Mayor Capo Di Corfu counts another distinction this month as well, that of Green Key that certifies environmental responsibility and sustainable operation of the hotel overall.

What these eco certifications mean for our guests is that they can rest assured that by staying with us, they are contributing to reducing the carbon footprint and are actively pursuing an environmentally friendly holiday.
What this means for Mayor Group Hotels is that our dedication and efforts to maintaining the highest quality when it comes to sustainable tourism is not only recognised but awarded.

To this effect, we wish to thank every single one of our staff members, as without them procedures and practices would remain theoretical. We also wish to thank our beloved guests who continue to show us how important such attributes are, by their repeated preference in choosing us time and time again for the wonderful moments they have experienced when staying at one of our hotels.
