Glamping Corfu launches a groundbreaking sustainable tourism initiative, offering luxury eco-accommodation while preserving the natural beauty of Mathraki Island and strengthening the local community.
Introducing a new era of tourism to Mathraki Island
Glamping Corfu, an innovative eco-tourism company, has unveiled its luxury glamping project on the island of Mathraki, one of Greece's remote Diapontic islands. Led by Chris and Ksenia Katehis, this initiative aims to redefine tourism by combining environmentally conscious accommodations with meaningful guest experiences that foster connection with nature and the local community.
Nestled in stunning landscapes, Mathraki offers an unspoiled retreat from Corfu's hectic tourism. Recognizing its unique potential, Glamping Corfu has designed a project that protects the island's untouched beauty while offering travelers an authentic and immersive experience.
“Mathraki is a unique escape untouched by mass tourism and our goal is to preserve its beauty while sharing its history with the world,” said Chris Katehis, founder of Glamping Corfu.
Overcoming the challenges of mass tourism
Increasing mass tourism has put significant pressure on popular destinations such as Corfu, often leading to environmental degradation and cultural dilution. In stark contrast, Mathraki has been spared from overdevelopment due to its geographical isolation, but its infrastructure is also inadequate.
Glamping Corfu fills this gap by promoting low-impact tourism that celebrates the island's pristine landscapes. The project's eco-friendly design includes A-frame tents powered by renewable energy, sustainable waste management systems and construction methods that minimize ecological disruption.
By emphasizing sustainability, Glamping Corfu sets a new benchmark for tourism that benefits the environment, travelers and the local community alike.
A unique guest experience
What sets Glamping Corfu apart is its ability to offer more than just luxury accommodation. Visitors can immerse themselves in Mathraki culture through curated activities designed to create a deep connection with the island's way of life.
Guests have the opportunity to participate in traditional olive oil production, adopt and care for olive trees, clear hiking trails, and participate in fishing trips with the locals. The island's crystal clear waters also provide the perfect setting for kayaking, paddleboarding and other water activities.
These experiences offer travelers a rare opportunity to not only enjoy the beauty of Mathraki but also contribute to its conservation and cultural heritage.
Strengthen the Mathraki community
The impact of glamping on Corfu goes far beyond tourism. The initiative is deeply rooted in community development and focuses on creating opportunities for local residents and supporting small businesses.
The project has already created jobs on the island and plans to expand its contribution by establishing essential services such as a general store and electric vehicle rental. These initiatives aim to improve the quality of life for both residents and visitors while respecting Mathraki's unique identity.
“This project is about more than just travel – it’s about creating a sustainable future for Mathraki and its people,” said Katehis.
The journey behind the vision
The story of Glamping Corfu began during the COVID-19 pandemic when Chris and Ksenia returned to their ancestral home on the island of Mathraki. Inspired by the island's potential and challenges, they founded Nisaki Mathraki Bed & Breakfast, which became a successful business known for its personalized hospitality.
Building on this experience, they envisioned a larger initiative that could balance tourism, conservation and community development. The result is Glamping Corfu – a model of sustainable travel that meets the global demand for ecotourism.
An opportunity for environmentally conscious investors
To achieve its full potential, Glamping Corfu is seeking partnerships with investors who share its vision of sustainable tourism. The investment will enable the expansion of the project infrastructure, support local economic growth and ensure the preservation of Mathraki's natural and cultural assets.
Investors have the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful business that not only delivers financial returns, but also has a lasting positive impact on the environment and the community.
A global movement for responsible tourism
As ecotourism gains momentum worldwide, Glamping Corfu is an example of how travel can be a force for good. By prioritizing sustainability, cultural preservation and community engagement, the project provides a blueprint for future tourism initiatives.
Travelers looking for authentic, immersive experiences will find Glamping Corfu a destination that aligns with their values while offering an unforgettable nature getaway.
