Media Centre for Volunteer with Turtles in Greece

For me, the highlight of the whole project was digging an egg-chamber for a turtle missing a hind left flipper.

Everyone should do a volunteer project like this at least once in their life

I'd use GVI again because both the home and away supports were excellent and it allows the single traveller to travel with peace of mind.

Have an amazing time, meet some great people and contribute to a very worthwhile and important project.

Victoria Garbutt, UK

I felt the point of the project and the camp was as much about people as it was about saving turtles.

William Hughes, UK

So thank you to everyone who has made this time one I will never forget.

I also learned a lot about myself, especially about my weaknesses.

The highlight of my volunteer experience was seeing hatchlings make their way from the nest to the sea and taking their first strokes in the water.

The excitement and enthusiasm everyone felt watching the first batch head out to sea was amazing

Andrea Moshier, USA

It is humbling to know that despite horrific odds these tiny little babies rush to the sea to ‘take the plunge’.

Anthony Carver, UK

It has been so nice to be able to combine doing something so worthwhile with the opportunity to ‘chill’ in the Greek sun.

Kerry Wilson, Scotland

I also hope this will not be my first or last-time in a place where I can walk down the beach at 06.30am and watch hatchlings leave their nest

Emily Ling, UK

I feel I’ve had a productive time here and feel like a better kind of person for this special experience.
