Greece sea turtles August 10, 2022
By Alice H (University of Exeter) - abroad from 08/07/2021 to 08/21/2021 with
GVI: Giannitsochori - Volunteer with Turtles in Greece
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Overall I had a wonderful experience with GVI and would highly recommend the sea turtle project in Greece. I wish I could have stayed for longer than just 2 weeks! It was very rewarding to be involved the the work which Archelon are carrying out to protect the populations of loggerhead sea turtle in Kyparissia Bay.
