Sea Turtle Beach Walk- Archelon

About

ARCHELON is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and protection of sea turtles and their habitats in Greece. Walk along a part of the nesting beach of Rethymno, where you will have the opportunity to learn about sea turtles, the threats they face, and our conservation work. You will start your walk by learning some interesting facts about sea turtles and their life cycle / biology. There will be stops along the beach, at specific points where we will share with you information about the fragile ecosystem of sand dunes, and you might see tracks of female sea turtles, hatchlings or sea turtle nests depending on the season. During our walk, you will receive information about the challenges that these incredible protected marine creatures face from human activity and what YOU can do to help them.
