Sea Turtle Beach Walk

Experience the wonders of Rethymno's sandy beach by booking a guided walk with an ARCHELON volunteer.

During this 30-minute excursion, you'll explore the remarkable nesting site of Caretta Caretta sea turtles, internationally protected creatures, and gain fascinating insights about their lives.

This walk is part of ARCHELON's comprehensive environmental awareness program, which aims to promote conservation by incorporating environmental interpretation.

Discover the importance of nesting beaches and dunes, as well as the harmonious coexistence between humans and sea turtles.

City of Rethymno

You are invited to travel to areas, which are perhaps still unknown to the majority, and which are sometimes remote, but always magical and magnificent throughout the seasons. We recommend our visitors to see our picturesque villages through the eyes of the soul, try the Cretan cuisine, our wine and “tsikoudia”, participate in our revelries and festivities, but most importantly get to know our soul, our hospitality, the safe, untouched interior of the region, the other Rethymno.
