Sustainability

Our Mission

We here at Living Theros Luxury Suites from the very first day of our operation, but to be precise, even during the process of buildings’ restoration and renovation, we followed the path towards sustainability, focusing on people, local society and of course, the environment. This was done with persistence and love of what we do and “where we want to go”!

Sustainable
building

Architecture is inspired by the traditional patterns of Tinos
The ceilings and smaller windows allow cooling of the spaces during summers while the verandas bring sunlight and fresh air from outside to inside
