Great people. A very worthwhile project. We came unannounced during the week, and yet they made time for us, we even got a tour in German. It is incredible what these people do. You stand up for injured turtles and you can feel the love with which these people work. When you see what is being pulled out of the turtles, whole fish hooks, you know that the work is very, very necessary. There should be a lot more projects like this. As far as I know, it is the only shelter for injured turtles in Greece. Definitely a project that you can support with a clear conscience, either as a helper or financially. Definitely go and check it out! (Ideally on Saturday during the visiting hours, or call in advance or write an e-mail, so that you don't all stand at the door as unannounced as we do.) By the way, you can swim wonderfully next to it on the beach. We combined a visit to the Sea Turtle Rescue Center with a swim in the sea, and ate a great meal within walking distance in the Prokomeres tavern in Glyfada. Are even very cheap and stress-free from Athens by tram. Recommendation for a day trip or half day trip.
