Greece is their favourite spot in the Mediterranean

Greece hosts about 60% of loggerhead turtle nests in the Mediterranean, including the two most important nesting sites: Laganas Bay on Zakynthos island and Kyparissiakos Bay in the Peloponnese.

​Loggerhead turtles are powerful animals
Their large heads support powerful jaw muscles, allowing them to crush hard-shelled prey like clams and sea urchins.

They come back to their place of birth
Female marine turtles return to lay their eggs at the same beach they were born. To find the beach, they use the Earth's magnetic field as a guide.

Getting out of the nest
Digging out of the nest is a group effort that can take several days. Baby turtles follow the light of the horizon for orientation and to reach the water. Unfortunately, only 1 in 1,000 baby turtles makes it to adulthood.
