- My Connection with Ecotourism
- CCS Seminars and Study Tours are private and tailored for our small groups. We collaborate with over 40 small businesses, natural scientists and individuals working to protect Crete’s cultural and natural heritage. We develop distinctive educational programs that help provide tangible benefits to local communities. Seminar attendees have a rare opportunity to discover Crete’s heritage in the company of resident-specialists, while supporting community-run sustainable travel programs.
