Save a life... Give a 2016 lucky charm

swste-mia-zwh-xariste-to-gouri-tou-2016-Adoption2016.jpg

The holidays are almost here and we all want to get into the Christmas spirit by doing good deeds, exchanging gifts and making others happy.

There is a way to combine a symbolic gift and also support an endangered wild animal which is counting on us to survive.

From today and until the end of January with every “symbolic” adoption you will receive a special package that includes: a plush turtle, adoption certificate (with adopter and turtle name of your choice), poster, information material and ARCHELON’s unique lucky charm for the New Year 2016.

This package may be kept by you or could be a gift for a loved one as a present during the holiday season!

We ensure you, that whichever adoption you prefer to make, your support is extremely valuable to the life of the sea turtle that is threatened and also the whole marine environment.

For further information about the ARCHELON Adoption program click HERE.

If you would like to learn more about the turtles currently treated at the Rescue Centre as well as their “adventures”, click HERE.

For any additional information, please contact our main office at: +30 210 52 31 342.

Happy Holidays!
