Archelon Sea Turtle Protection Society is a non-profit organization located in Glyfada that has been working hard since 1983 to protect sea turtles and their habitat in the Mediterranean Sea. Their work include research, conservation, and education, with the aim of raising awareness within the community about the importance of protecting these vulnerable species.
