Volunteering at Earth, Sea & Sky was a precious experience for me. I am interested in eco-tourism, so I learned a lot of things from the activities at Earth, Sea & Sky. For example, I could participate in the biological research of the sea turtles and run the turtle rescue centre and visitor centre. In
My time here at Earth, Sea & Sky has been amazing and far too short. The people here are wonderful and I’ve learned so much about conservation that can only be taught through experience. Watching sea turtle hatchlings run to the ocean was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve made friends from
I volunteered with Earth, Sea and Sky during the 2014 season. I had always wanted to volunteer abroad with a wildlife conservation group. My love for marine animals and the Greek culture lead me to Zakynthos, and it was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. Highlights from my time time with Earth, Sea and
Why I joined Earth, Sea and Sky Turtles have always fascinated me, strong and tough on the outside but soft in the inside. Over the past two years I have taken great interest in preserving the oceans, focusing on plastic pollution and overfishing in the oceans. During the summer of 2015 I was incredibly busy

I volunteered with Earth, Sea & Sky for two weeks during the summer of 2015. I made really good friends while I was there and I learnt a lot about the wildlife of the island, especially about the Mediterranean Caretta Caretta Sea Turtle. Work involved going on Morning Survey and being in the Centre. On
The very moment my ferry touched the shore of Zakynthos, I realized I wasn’t going to like the island. It was crowded, dirty, overdeveloped and tacky. It was anything but the pristine paradise I had hoped to escape to for a month. As my taxi drove through the outskirts of Zakynthos Town and Argassi, I
Through an alternative break program at the College of Charleston (CofC) in South Carolina I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer for Earth, Sea & Sky in the summer of 2014. I flew to Greece, and embarked on one of the most life changing adventures of my life. This experience is what drives me today
I had the privilege to volunteer at Earth Sea and Sky early summer 2015. It was a most enjoyable experience at a gorgeous location, on the Ionian island of Zakynthos, Greece. Earth Sea and sky staff are helpful, considerate and friendly. Helping us to settle in and teaching us about the Loggerhead turtle. The loggerhead
I spent six weeks volunteering with Earth, Sea & Sky, and although some of the work was tough, the benefits of the program make it totally worth it. Who else can say they spend their lunch break snorkelling on a deserted beach? ESS is such a small charity, with no governmental funding, that every single day
