On 8 June the first Caretta caretta, sea turtle nests of Koroni this season were spotted on the beaches of Zaga and Memi with great joy by the ARCHELON volunteers during their morning survey.

Turtles or tourists? We can all live together.
This year, ARCHELON celebrates 35 years of contribution to sea turtle conservation. We hope that sea turtles will safely continue their travels and that, humans and turtles, we can all live together, in the years to come.

Upon completion of the relocation of a nest detected very near the sea on Kalamaki Beach by the ARCHELON volunteers a few hours earlier, the scheduled release of sea turtle named "Hermione” was held as planned on Monday, 4 June 2018.

Plastic bags kill sea turtles...

The Management Agency of Kotuchi-Strofilia and Kyparissia Gulf, ARCHELON, MEDASSET and WWF Hellas call for the adoption of measures for the permanent, official protection of the Kyparissia Gulf area after the recent violations which took place there.

On Wednesday, May 16th 2018, the annual reunion of services and actors on the most effective management of the Caretta caretta sea turtle reproduction habitat was realised, for the fourth time, at the beaches of Rethymno Gulf.

ARCHELON, acknowledging the great, worldwide problem of litter both on land and sea, participates every year with the aim to sensitize the public, raise awareness and contribute to the preservation of the environment.

Again this year, ARCHELON and its volunteers could not be absent from the sports events of “Vikos Street Relays 2018” at the beach of Glyfada, on Saturday the 21st April 2018.
