Summer 2024 – Creating tomorrow's sustainability leaders while protecting sea turtles in Neapoli, Greece 🐢🌊

This summer we joined forces with the wildlife charity Tulipa Goulimi (Σύλλογος Τουλίπα Γουλιμή) and its team Maria Aroni and Giannis Psarakis for a rewarding sea turtle conservation project.

Through a series of school trips, kids actively participated in safeguarding these magnificent creatures, learning not only to appreciate wildlife conservation, but also about their own ability to make a difference.

Τhis place was just transformed from a slaughterhouse into a Wildlife First Aid Station & Environmental Information Center. Our friends of the NGO Tulipa Gulimi (Σύλλογος Τουλίπα Γουλιμή, Γιάννης Ψαρράκης, Maria Aroni) had a vision and tirelessly worked to bring it to life! It has been a remarkable journey, from a place of ending to one of new beginnings.

Congratulations on all the hard work! Now let’s get the ball rolling.

The southeastern tip of the Peloponnese peninsula is a most exciting place. We just crafted a brand new Sea Turtle Conservation School Trip. We visited charming Neapoli and medieval Monemvasia, walked on turtle beaches, saw the oldest underwater city in the world at Pavlopetri, were shocked to see 5.000 year old human teeth in better shape than ours and marveled at the birdlife.

Special thanks to Maria Aroni and Yiannis Psarakis from the Wildlife Rescue and Protection charity Tulipa Gulimi & naturalist David Koutsogiannopoulos, who all made this trip truly exceptional!!

Sea Turtle Rescue in Greece

Loggerhead turtle rescue in Argostoli port – Kefalonia. Our naturalist guide Christos Kotselis spotted an adult sea turtle in need. Trapped underneath a concrete construction. He got the help of 2 bystanders; they dove in and pulled the huge reptile ashore before the arrival of our partners of Wildlife Sense who performed a health check. The video shows the release of the sea turtle back into the wild, where it belongs. #Kefalonia #Argostoli #NaturePositiveTravel #responsibletravel #turtles #greece #seaturtleconservation

Marina Aereboe & Deike Behringer – Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Holiday August 2018: “Deike and I had a great time with you in Greece and really enjoyed it. Thank you for the opportunity to learn so much about the turtles. We learned a lot about the small and big turtles and it was great to see the little ones hatch and find their way into the water. Thank you for the unforgettable days, experiences and the good services on the beautiful campsite Gythio Bay. We'll be back!” 5* All images copyright Deike Behringer -https://www.instagram.com/cattivakat/ More info on this holiday: bit.ly/SeaTurtleHoliday
