The first vegan hotel in Greece.

Located in Ano Mera, Mykonos, the Koukoumi Hotel is designed to complement traditional Myconian architecture and features a total of 14 suites. The founders prioritize sustainability in every aspect, with a vegan menu, eco-friendly mattresses, solar-powered water heaters, and even a mineral pool. Spa professionals offer vegan beauty treatments, and daily yoga classes are held in the gym to encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Koukoumi will offer two booking packages, the "Detox" package and the "Energy Boost" package, both of which include accommodation and dining services for five days.

Georgia Kontiza, the founder of the Koukoumi Hotel, believes that people should “enjoy life without harming animals, the environment, or themselves.” She says Koukoumi is a peaceful destination for travelers from around the world seeking refuge.

Koukoumi's vegan cuisine is inspired by Mediterranean dishes, consisting solely of vegan and raw foods. Breakfast typically includes bread and pastries made in-house by the hotel's kitchen, and daily meals consist of soup, salad, fresh pasta, vegan burgers, pizza, and vegan poke.

There is absolutely no seafood, cheese, or eggs, ingredients that are common in Greek culinary culture.

Two trends set to shape the hospitality and food service industry in 2020 are sustainability and veganism. A study conducted at Harvard University in the US showed that a vegan diet offers benefits for both health and the environment. Therefore, from fast-food chains like McDonald's and Greggs in the UK to Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, more and more establishments are offering new menus catering to vegetarians.

Capitalizing on the trend, Koukoumi has received much support from international travelers despite only opening this summer. If you have the chance to visit Mykonos, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy vegan Mediterranean cuisine at this charming boutique hotel.
