Happy "Earth Day"!
Who says you can´t change the world?
One person can change the world!
This slogan belongs to Denis Hayes, the founder of the Earth Day that was started in 1970 for the first time. Armada celebrated the Earth Day 2000, with the theme "Clean Energy" by distributing a specially designed cartoon, designed by Tan Oral and underlined what could be done in its own sector.

Who is Kasim ZOTO?
Born in 1950, Istanbul

During the 13 years he lived in France, he worked to organize the
congresses, seminars and similar activities of various companies to take
place in Turkey.
He spent his efforts to make tourism an "incentive" in Turkey.
He stepped into the hotel business for the first time by opening Kalkan Han Hotel in Kalkan with a group of friends in 1981.
In 1988, he started work on converting a piece of land in Sultanahmet from a car park into a hotel. This historical piece of land was once occupied by buildings which were built for the marine soldiers of Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha back in the 16th century. Unfortunately, the buildings were completely demolished during the devastating Istanbul fire and were left in ruins.
The efforts that were started in 1988 continued until 1993 due to bureaucratic obstacles. At the end of these 5 years, the home of Barbaros marines was rented from the Vakiflar for 49 years and turned into Armada Hotel, which succeeds to re-create the Istanbul way of life in an area of 2,300 sqm.
