The mission to save the ancient residents of Crete's beaches
Crete is renowned for its stunning coastline, which stretches for more than 1,000km and attracts millions of visitors each year. But its beaches are also home to one of the Mediterranean's oldest residents: the loggerhead sea turtle. Roma Wells joins conservationists on the Greek island as they patrol the shoreline at dawn, searching for freshly laid nests and helping protect a species that has returned to these sands for generations despite the pressures of modern tourism.
