The Pool area at night
Caretta Caretta Loggerhead Turtle.
Porto Koukla is a breeding site for these beautiful endangered creatures.
The turtle is a powerful symbol. The Native Americans call their continent Turtle Island. The legend goes that once there was only water and there wasn't anywhere that people could live. Turtle made a very great sacrifice and let everyone live on her back. Thus she became the spirit keeper of the earth. When Native Americans enter into the darkness of a covered dome structure for the sacred purification ceremony called the Sweat Lodge, they believe that they are entering into the turtle, into the very essence of the Mother Earth. It is a time of spiritual death and rebirth.
