SEA TURTLES

Caretta caretta: protecting the turtles and witnessing the magic of nature unfold

We’re not just passionate about providing unforgettable holidays; we’re also deeply committed to protecting the natural wonders that make Crete so special. Our pristine beach is a nesting ground for the endangered Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), and we’re proud to play a part in their conservation. With the guidance of Archelon, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, we actively participate in monitoring nesting areas, and protecting nests. We encourage our guests to join us in protecting these magnificent creatures by respecting our guidelines and learning more about their fascinating life cycle.
Together, we can ensure that future generations can witness the magic of these ancient mariners returning to our shores.
