			We Support Green Tourism in Orhaniye

		Green tourism: Sustainable Tourism, Eco-tourism, Green Tourism. There are many labels, but whatever you prefer to call it, the intent remains the same: low impact, environmentally-friendly tourism that cherishes, not destroys. This is what we aim to achieve in Orhaniye. We support sustainable tourism that enables our guests to enjoy the beauty of Orhaniye whilst minimising the impact on the environment, through a number of low environmental impact activities. Local impact construction: We have partnered with a local Turkish Architect Nurtan Onur, who has designed and built our villas with great care for the local environment. We mainly used local craftsmen from Orhaniye during the construction phase, thus supporting the local village economy. Most materials were sourced locally around the Bozburun Peninsula. The villas are built to the highest construction standards, with exceptionally thick walls and extra insulation materials to reduce the requirement for air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter. For example, in Villa Nurtan and Villa Lale, the walls consist of an inner shell of concrete with bricks and insulation, with an outer shell of 25cm thick solid stone. In Villa Anni the bricks are laid width-way, faced with insulation in order to further increase the insulation. Hot water is entirely provided by solar energy, and in Villa Nurtan, buillt for all year living, we probably have the peninusula's only lagged hot water tank! Local support team: All the team that look after you during your holiday in Orhaniye live locally and we further aim to contribute to the local village economy by buying supplies locally. Most of the furniture in the villas was made in Orhaniye's workshops, also supporting local employment and the village economy. Low impact operation: We have drilled wells in Villa Nurtan (80 metres deep) and Villa Lale (85 metres deep) in order to minimise the impact on the local water supply. The swimming pool is mainly filled at the start of the season with spring water, and in each pool we have invested in a new 100% ecological pool cleaning system that completely avoids the need to use any chemicals in the pool, saving the use, distribution and chlorine pollution of this beautiful area. We have been trying to source eco friendly products for cleaning and washing machines/dish washers, but until we can find a regular supplier we bring over as what we can from the U.K. We have also installed a five stage reverse osmosis water filter to produce drinking water from the local village water supply. This avoids the need to purchase and the environmental impact of transporting heavy bottled water. We aim to garden organically, we seek to recycle our garden waste, and we plant a variety of fruits and vegetables for our guests to enjoy. There are also waste recycling facilities locally in Orhaniye Marina, which are available to our guests. Flights to Turkey: According to the World Land Trust, and using their carbon offset calculator, a return flight from Manchester to Dalaman produces 1.23 tonnes CO2 per person.
