Tips

Hiking

The sculpture is also meant as a memorial. The sea here has changed radically in recent years. Dolphins are rarely seen anymore. Over twenty years ago, they still came to the coast regularly and a few years ago there were boat tours to watch dolphins. This tourist offer has since been discontinued due to a lack of dolphins. Turtles are also becoming increasingly rare. Climate change can also be clearly seen in the sea and only humans have the power to do something about it.

The sculpture is a gift from the sculptor Gerhard Stelzhammer to the municipality of Paleochora, which covered the costs for materials, transport and installation.
