The Social and Cooperative Enterprise Ikario Pelagos is active in Camping services. Τhe organized tourist camp of our company will start its operations from the summer of 2024. Our goal is to help develop the camping tourism of Ikaria, which already exists on our island scattered in various places, but without organized camps. The camping is located in Kremasti, Ikaria and has a capacity of 300 people. All visitors who wish to camp are provided with all the necessary facilities of organized camping. We also provide visitors with the ability to rent camping equipment, as it is not uncommon for campers to omit bringing with them the large amount of equipment which is needed for camping.
Among other things, the services provided include: - Tents of various types - Parasol - Bicycles (mountain bikes) for men, women and children - Sea canoes - Sea bikes - Surfboards - Tables of various types - Chairs of various types - Sunbeds - Mats - Inflatable and self-inflating mattresses - Inflatable and non-inflatable pillows - Folding beds - Solar chargers - Powerbanks - Balls - Fireplaces - Trumpets (hand, foot and car) - Lanterns of various kinds - Flashlights - Portable refrigerators (simple and electric) - Kitchenware - cooking sets - Cooler bags - Isothermal cases of bottles - Water containers of various types - Hammocks of various types - Bags of various types - Backpacks - Sleeping bags of various types - Other tools (stakes, ropes, shovels, multitools, etc.)
Furthermore, there are many businesses in the wider area, which rent out sunbeds and umbrellas in beaches, as well as individual AirBnB tourist accommodations that do not have full equipment. Professionals in these fields can also turn to our company to rent equipment that they may not have available.
Our goal is to work collectively with other professionals and companies in the field, to develop and upgrade the general tourist experience of Ikaria, and especially camping tourism. Among other things, this will lead to a reduction of unemployment, stimulation of the local economy, further promotion of the island of Ikaria and promote the island's tourism product. Given the cooperative nature of the business, we also aim to highlight the importance of collective social economy, its contribution to the local community and its people.
