We support sustainable ways of living
In Koullias Hotels we are strongly committed to an environmental approach and we carry out various actions and initiatives on sustainability. Today, we introduce you the Pandrosia, a family business in Kos, a “green company”  that creates natural products with organic aloe vera. The Pandrosia cosmetics and products are used in the hotels Grand Blue, Kouros Palace and Kosta Palace because we aim to share the local culture with respect to the Kos sustainable development.
Our philosophy is based on the Hippocrates - philosopher, scientist, author, doctor - one of the greatest in a galaxy of great minds of the ancient Greek World. He was  born in Kos in 460 BC.
 
Visit the Hippocratic Foundation of Kos
Koullias Hotels supports the International Hippocratic Foundation of Kos and sponsors the development and maintenance of the famous Hippocrates botanical garden. It hosts over 256 healing plants and herbs which were actually used by Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”, in the treatment and healing of his patients. Many of these plants are still used today in contemporary treatments. It commits to raise awareness and to encourage visits to the Museum and the Botanical Garden. It aims to share the inspiration, knowledge, values and approach of Hippocrates on health and well-being for over 2.500 years.
Thus, we introduce sustainable local products, a need of the conscious traveler consumer. In the Koullias Hotels gardens, aromatics, herbs, vegetables are cultivated to be of use in the kitchen because they are considered as treasure of local culture and tradition. Local products are carefully selected for their high quality, the freshness, the short supply chain, the taste given to the meals offered in the restaurants and buffet.
  Pandrosia inspired by the simplicity of nature
We introduce Pandrosia. A brand inspired by Hippocrates in creating a range of natural skin care products and organic foods. Today, the secret of true wellbeing has gained global significance. We now realize it is hidden in the words of the Ancient Greeks: the search for balance, harmony, health and ultimately happiness.

Pan-drosia, the origins of the name:
Pan from the Greek Παν meaning everything or all is used here in reference to health, wellbeing, beauty and happiness. Drosia from the Greek Δροσιά meaning freshness, refers to the refreshing, regenerating and rejuvenating properties of Aloe vera, which can offer us a holistic, remarkable, new way of life.
All the natural and organic products formulated and prepared by Pandrosia center on raw organic Aloe vera gel of superior quality, and are at present, the ideal proposition for health, beauty and wellbeing.
 

The secret of Longevity lies in the nature of Kos

In Kos, the Greek light, the mild Aegean winds and the temperate Mediterranean climate constitute the ideal environment for the cultivation of Aloe vera. There are more than 1200 natural (uncultivated), therapeutic, aromatic, cosmetic and aphrodisiac plants and herbs. Rosemary, Lavender, Oregano, Thyme, Sage, Mint, Lemon balm, Spearmint, Jasmine, Nettle, Dog-rose, Jasmine, Hypericum (St John's-wort), Fennel, Marjoram, Laurel, Myrtle, Verbena, Mandragora (Mandrake), Autumn heather, Diktamos (Hop marjoram), Dandelion, Lime, Summer savory, etc.

Fruit trees and other plants offer their appealing fruits to locals and visitors alike: lemons, oranges, mandarins, peaches, apricots, figs, almonds, pomegranates, grapes, olives, tomatoes, wheat, barley, sesame are only some of the delights on offer. Μany forest trees among which the Wild Cedar and the Eucalyptus are noteworthy.

On the Drosos estates - Pandrosia, time seems to slow down and follow the mystifying pace of the earth. No-thing and no-body interferes with the earth or plants and they swiftly bear their fruits. "Aloe has patience, so you too must have the same" says Paul Drosos (founder), summing up the philosophy of organic Aloe vera cultivation.

The many devoted hands are the great protagonists in the practice of cultivation, production and processing of the plant so as to finally obtain pure, superior quality A. vera gel. “Our Objective” says again Paul Drosos: To extract the optimal amount of this organic treasure without wounding its heart. Skilled hands will then naturally "lock and seal" the gel extract into the purest, most effective aloe products available.
