In a lost village in the southern Peloponnese, we met Chelona, turtle in Greek.
She is special. And has met a special person. An elderly fisherman has taught her to trust man. Each day, he cleans his net for her and each day, she enters the port and feeds on the discarded food. For once we are amongst friends. She allows us to get in the water and swim with her. To get so close to her as to look her in her eyes. Even to touch her. She shows us how the sea could be if we were to respect it.
She teaches us that there is an alternative.
