Turtle Hatching, end July to end
September (Approximate Dates)
North Cyprus is one of the few turtle nesting areas in the
Mediterranean. Every year student volunteers study these animals.
Around 60 days
after nesting, the eggs begin to hatch. The volunteers give any stragglers a
hand once the sun starts going down, and you can watch this. Booking
is not necessary, but there is not an excavation every day, and
normally not an excavation on a Sunday. Public excavations will be
announced on this web site and the turtle blog. For more
information on
turtles and their
nesting, follow the links. Follow their exploits by reading
their
2008 diary, or their
2009 blog. (Back to Top)
