🚨Drama in the Deep! A heart-stopping rescue mission unfolded last month in the stunning Diros Caves: Thanks to an amazing citizen spotting a sea turtle in distress caught in fishing gear, ARCHELON’s team in south Peloponnese sprang into action! With the support of the Gytheio Port Authority, we raced to the scene and freed this beautiful creature from a nasty hook.

🙏 Huge thanks to our dedicated volunteers and the local Port Authorities for their bravery and assistance

💗Let's also give a massive shoutout to British Chelonia Group for their invaluable support for ARCHELON’s Sea Turtle Conservation Project in south Peloponnese! Together, we make a difference.

🚨Μια συγκλονιστική αποστολή διάσωσης εκτυλίχθηκε τον περασμένο μήνα στα εκπληκτικά Σπήλαια Διρού: Χάρη σε έναν ευαισθητοποιημένο πολίτη που εντόπισε μια θαλάσσια χελώνα σε κίνδυνο, η ομάδα του ΑΡΧΕΛΩΝ στη νότια Πελοπόννησο έδρασε άμεσα για την διάσωση του άτυχου ζώου που είχε πιαστεί σε αλιευτικά εργαλεία! Με την υποστήριξη του Λιμεναρχείου Γυθείου, τρέξαμε στο σημείο και απελευθερώσαμε αυτό το όμορφο πλάσμα από το αγκίστρι που το βασάνιζε.

🙏 Ευχαριστούμε πολύ τους αφοσιωμένους εθελοντές μας και τις τοπικές Λιμενικές Αρχές για τη γενναιότητα και τη βοήθειά τους.

💗Να πούμε επίσης ένα μεγάλο "Ευχαριστώ" στο British Chelonia Group για την ανεκτίμητη υποστήριξή τους στο Πρόγραμμα Προστασίας Θαλάσσιας Χελώνας του ΑΡΧΕΛΩΝ στη νότια Πελοπόννησο! Μαζί, κάνουμε τη διαφορά.

Did you know that cigarette butts contain many and various poisons and heavy metals?
Every time you throw a pacifier at the beach, all those chemicals get absorbed by the water horizon...!
A cigarette butte can pollute up to 1000 liters of seawater...!
Next time you go to dump your ci******es in the sand, think a little harder!

Γνωρίζατε ότι οι γόπες των τσιγάρων περιέχουν πολλά και διάφορα δηλητήρια και βαρέα μέταλλα;
Κάθε φορά που πετάτε μια γόπα στην παραλία, όλα αυτά τα χημικά απορροφώνται από τον υδάτινο ορίζοντα...!
Μία γόπα τσιγάρου μπορεί να μολύνει μέχρι και 1000 λίτρα θαλάσσιου νερού...!
Την επόμενη φορά που θα πάτε να ρίξετε τα αποτσιγαρα σας στην άμμο, σκεφτείτε το λιγάκι περισσότερο!

Parea sti Mani » TRANSPORT MESSAGES

More opportunities for sharing transport to Kalamata/Athens etc. :
🚙 🚙 🚙 🚙 🚙
Parking is getting increasingly difficult at Kalamata airport, as more flights use K'mata, and I have been informed that short stay for pick-up is now €5 for the first hour € 7 for two, and NO free parking on the right hand side.

This seemed like a good opportunity to remind people that they can offer/request shared transport to Kalamata or Athens on our TRANSPORT MESSAGES page (http://www.parea-sti-mani.com/en/message-boards/transport-messages )
and the TRANSPORT section of our JOBS/SERVICES page ( http://www.parea-sti-mani.com/en/message-boards/jobs-services ). Here I can include Taxi services, which will often offer shared transport, but I would like to ADD contact information for anyone who, perhaps for business purposes, makes frequent trips to Kalamata/Athens, who is willing to share trips and so save on their own costs sometimes. These would not need to be date specific. Anyone wanting transport could contact people on the list, to see if they are available on a particular date.
🚙 🚙 🚙 🚙 🚙
If you would like to be included in this section, please send details to [email protected]

On this page, originally set up to encourage journey sharing to save fuel, we publish requests/offers of transport to/from Mani for people, animals or things! If you email your message including details of the journey, timing and contact information, we will publish it. However, it is up to the peop...
