Reviews for Greece turtle conservation holiday
Jacqui Townsend review 26 Oct 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I loved every second of it but I cried when I saw my first ever turtle hatchling & again when I released my very own little one into the trench. Meeting new like minded people of similar age. Do not think that you are too old to do it. I was 54 and definitely not the oldest and there were a mix of people, hopefully lifelong friends now. Couples, friends, singles, youngsters - a real mix of people.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It's hard work. Early mornings and late evenings mainly to avoid the heat but also when the turtles are active. It's not easy crossing over the rocks from Trapezeki to Lourdas so have sturdy but comfortable shoes. Take plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It definitely supports the turtle conservation, so many would die without the help, hopefully stopping them from extinction and hopefully bit by bit will educate the locals that the turtles bring tourism therefore money to the island. Also education that sea grass is vital to sea-life and that it shouldn't be cleared just for tourists4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
