Thanks to Christina and Clodagh for providing me with this update. Please note, Fran and Jim Fryer's house clearance sale that was to take place in Chromonastiri on August 1st has now been CANCELLED. Fran was lucky today to get a cash buyer for all her big items of furniture which she couldn't refuse. She is leaving for the U.S. next week and unfortunately as she has all her money here in a Greek Bank Account she has a problem paying for her flight tickets, shipping fees and veterinary/kenneling costs for her cats etc.

Thanks to ARCHELON / ΑΡΧΕΛΩΝ (Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece) for the following picture of one of the first hatchlings of the season in Rethymnon. Here is some info about ways in which you can help to protect the sea turtles
•Keep the beaches clean. Don't throw plastic or nylon objects in the sea.
•Switch off or cover bright lights which are visible from the nesting beach.
•Don't dig out the nests. The sea turtles, the nests, their eggs and the hatchlings are protected by Greek law and international conventions.
•Don't move nest signs or protective cages above the nests.
•Don't touch the hatchlings. It is important that they find on their own their way to the sea.
•Don't light fires at night on the nesting beaches.
•Avoid using vehicles on the beach.
•Avoid going very fast in a motor boat, close to a nesting beach.
•Become a supporter of ARCHELON and / or volunteer. Find ARCHELON online at www.archelon.gr or on the ARCHELON page
