AHEPA Spotlight
Repo(we)r Greece
Due to its tremendous network and impressive reputation, AHEPA is a critical element in the effort to restore Greece's credibility and redefine her image. AHEPA has the unique ability to portray Greece at its best by highlighting her success stories and circulating positive information through the non-profit Repo(we)rGreece campaign. Perhaps members of the AHEPA community have already experienced firsthand Costa Navarino Resort, one of Greece's most recent success stories.
Providing the struggling country with over 1,200 new jobs, Costa Navarino is jumpstarting the tourist sector and enticing the Diaspora to return to its homeland. The resort combines deluxe hotels with breath-taking signature golf courses, world-renowned spas, and state-of-the art conference facilities, along with a plethora of sports, outdoor, and leisure amenities. Committed to sustainable tourism, Costa Navarino protects the pristine environment of Messinia by consistently operating according to strict environmental guidelines. The resort is working towards using 100% renewable electrical energy and its restaurants are committed to using local produce exclusively. The resort's underlying objective is to promote the Peloponnese’s 4,500 years of rich history, while safeguarding its stunning natural beauty. Costa Navarino is a Greek-owned business that officially opened in May 2010, but has been in the making for the past 25 years and will continue to expand, contributing significantly to the region’s economic recovery and environmental preservation.
