Während eures Aufenthaltes in der Eco Lodge wird das Entspannen sicherlich einen wichtigen Teil einnehmen. Dies könnt ihr unter einer der schattenspendenden Pergolas, auf einer der Gartenbänke oder in einer Hängematte unter den Eichenbäumen tun. Aber selbstverständlich gibt es noch viel mehr zu tun. Alle Menschen, die Spaß an der Gartenarbeit haben sind bei uns bestens aufgehoben. Es gibt einen großen Gemüsegarten, wo ihr so viel ihr möchtet gärtnern und auch ernten könnt. Und natürlich gibt es auch außerhalb der Eco Lodge eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten, so gibt es z.B. zahlreiche alte Wanderwege, die zwar zum Teil etwas wild und von Pflanzen überwuchert sind, die aber dennoch wunderschön sind und die es lohnt zu erkunden. Wir haben das Glück, dass einige direkt an unserem Grundstück vorbei in das umliegende Eichenwäldchen und zu einigen der zahlreichen Taubenhäuschen führen.

Der Eco Lodge-Biogarten
Die Vegetation auf unserem Grundstück ist überwiegend wild gewachsen. So werdet ihr viele alte einheimische Eichen finden, wobei es auch einige gepflanzte Bäume wie Feige, Olive und Platane gibt. Für den Gemüsegarten werden wir versuchen lokales Saatgut zu finden und zu verwenden. Es werden Gehölze und Gemüse angepflanzt, die an diese trockene und salzige Umgebung angepasst sind oder diese tolerieren. Außerdem werden wir auch Permakulturverfahren für die Anzucht der Pflanzen verwenden; wir werden darüber hinaus mit dem Verpflanzen von wilden heimischen Kräutern wie Thymian, wilder Oregano, wilder Lavendel, wilder Salbei, wilde Artischocken und Kapern experimentieren. Unser Ziel ist es das ganze Jahr über eine Vielzahl von biologisch angebautem Obst und Gemüse zu kultivieren, dass die Gäste ernten und pflegen können. In einem nächsten Schritt möchten wir einige der Produkte weiterverarbeiten und Oliven und Kapern einlegen, Kräutertees zusammenstellen, Marmelade einkochen und Raki produzieren.
The north part of Tinos has been characterized as an Important Bird Area because on its rocky cliffs breeds the Eleonora’s falcon, a small sea raptor which 70% of its population breeds in the Aegean. Part of the IBA is a NATURA 2000 area, protected for the rest of the fauna, reptiles, mammals and for the flora.
Birds that can be seen in Tinos, are Buzzards, Kestrels, and Bonelli’s Eagle, long legged buzzard, Peregrine, especially during migration there are many kind of raptors, important seabirds are also Shags, many kind of owls, Scops owl, Little owl, also Hoopoe in autumn and spring, herons, ducks and waders especially in Kolibithra bay where there is a small wetland and in the scrub areas breeds the rare Cretzshmar’s Bunting.
There are many reptiles that live on the island, with the most famous one because of its venom being the Nose-horned Viper (Vipera ammodytes). However other nonvenomous snakes are Natrix natrix in the water, Natrix tessellata, Eryx jaculus, and Dolichophis caspius. Tortoises (Mauremys caspica), frogs and many species of lizards (Cyrtodactylus kotschyi, Lacerta trillineata, Podarcis erhardii) are found in Tinos.
Also in the unobstructed water caves of the island lives the monk seal Monachus monachus. However, it has been a long time since a sighting has been reported.
Many herbs and edible plants as well as mushrooms grow wild all over the island and people are used to collect them for house consumption. Oregano, Thyme, Lavender, Wild sage, wild mint and many many more can be found while walking around the footpaths of Tinos.
The Neighborhood
The area is a unique forested area with oak trees, by a stream with big platanus and a lot of vegetation, totally unusual for Tinos and the cyclades. It is surrounded by rural land formed in terraces with olive trees, lemon trees and general fruit trees, small stone stables for the sheep and pigs, pigeon houses and small churches. Its totally unspoiled and pure.
The plot orientation is East so the sun rises directly from the sea!
We have two beautiful beaches only 2km away, Santa Margarita and Lychnaftia 20 minute walk downhill.
