Book a Sea Turtle Walk! Get a close look at the nesting beach and learn about sea turtles during a 45 min walk with an ARCHELON volunteer.
This walk is part of ARCHELON's multi-sectoral environmental awareness program and aims to integrate environmental interpretation as a conservation tool to raise awareness about the nesting beaches, the sand dunes and proper human - sea turtle interactions.
Walk along a part of the nesting beach of Chania, 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 information about the ecosystem of sand dunes, and show you 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. Please note that you will not see a sea turtle during the tour.
