We try every day to ensure that our shelters and facilities are the safest possible environment for your holidays. New cleaning protocols, new antibacterial cleaning equipment with cold foaming certified machines, and longer "windows" between the stays are offering a better in-depth cleaning of the accommodations and a healthy, clean shelter.
We continuously train our staff to all the new standards and health measures, we prepared our facilities with extra antiseptic stations, we reduced the capacity of all the public facilities and we continue to adapt all the new health protocols.
Our staff is very important for us, so we manage to offer to our people all the personal protection measures, reduce the risk, and increase the level of prevention during their job!
So, feel safe, practice social distancing, and enjoy the holidays!

The cleaning staff will use the necessary equipment when entering each accommodation and will avoid frequent cleaning of the accommodation during your stay. Also, based on the protocols, the frequent change of bathroom and room clothing will be abolished, only at your request or after agreement with the reception.

We would like to inform you that this year Camping will operate at a reduced capacity. Non-residents will not be allowed to enter, pass, stay, or use Camping facilities. Also, sanitary facilities, such as shared showers and toilets, will be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with health protocols, so often that they are kept clean and in good condition.

The staff will be trained, and will fully implement all the specifications of the health protocols. The health protocols for restaurants will be applied, and specifically, all the menus will be a la carte and all the lists will be disinfected with special antiseptics before each use. The kitchen and service staff will use the necessary equipment. All the prescribed distances between tables and chairs will be observed.

The campsite will have a written plan for dealing with suspected cases of Covid-19, which will describe:
a) The symptoms that characterize suspected cases of Covid-19 infection (sudden onset with at least one of the following: cough, fever, shortness of breath).
b) How we manage it. The first step is to inform the COVID 19 responsible person of the camping. After this, you will receive guidelines to call number 1135 to report the incident and get guidance on how to handle it.
c) How to temporarily isolate the affected person, (until they can be safely transported for medical diagnosis) at their camping accommodation (if they are staying in a trailer or camper) or in the proper room with natural ventilation if they are staying in a tent. The use of a facemask by the symptomatic person is obliged, plus tissues, a plastic bag for their disposal, and hand antiseptic solution (at least 70% alcohol).
d) Use of a surgical mask, protective goggles, waterproof long-sleeved scrubs, and gloves by anyone entering the temporary isolation area (used personal protective equipment shall be disposed of in a plastic bag and shall not be reused under any circumstances. After disposing of used personal protective equipment, hands must be washed carefully with soap and water).
e) Ventilation of the temporary isolation area, cleaning, and sanitizing of surfaces and objects after the patient has been transferred is done by using a 0.1% chlorine solution or a 70% alcohol solution with the 10-minute contact time, or another disinfectant with proven anti-virus activity.
f) Report to the competent health authorities all the patient’s contacts, starting two days before the symptoms first appeared.
g) Contact information for the Greek Emergency Medical Service (EKAB), contact information for the healthcare facility where the suspected case must be transported, contact information for the competent health authority for the campsite. For the implementation of the campsite’s written plan and health-related operating protocol in regard to preventing the spread of Covid-19 among the guests and staff, a competent officer is appointed whose full information is listed in the written plan. Suspected cases and measures implemented are recorded in the campsite’s Covid-19 incidents book that is kept at the responsibility of the competent officer.
Important!!! Any symptom of COVID 19 as it is described in the paragraph above must be immediately reported at the person responsible for COVID 19 management! The guest is obliged to follow the exact guidelines that will be provided to him by the COVID 19 responsible staff of the camping!
It is our obligation as members of the Camping society to respect and protect first the people around us and second the facilities of the camping. Social distancing, following the camping rules, respecting the operation rules are basic to ensure that all of our unique guests will enjoy their precious holiday time and will be back at their homes safe and full of nice memories!
