Apollo Travel - Sweden
The Swedish tour company - APOLLO - have started to pay attention to the stray animals of Crete and Greece.
The travel agency is organizing now special tourist trips and tours to highlight the abandoned animal suffering and will develop this to include more cities and islands in Greece.
ESDAW think it's a great way to show the true reality for tourists and hope that this will spread to more travel agencies and countries.

Manolis fight for animals
In Gouves in Eastern Crete bought in 2007 a man named Manolis, a piece of land by the Mayor. The land, he would use as the basis for a home that welcomed stray dogs and cats that otherwise risked being poisoned, or beaten to death. He built his home and with the organization CAP (Cretan Animal Protection) housed him in the current situation 160 dogs.
The expression of man's best friend is well aware of all? All this at home anyway. Unfortunately you can not see the same in dogs and cats in other countries. Here one often sees animals as reservoirs of infection, a troublemaker or someone who "disturb" their own operations. Many believe that tourists are disturbed by stray animals and you take your own methods to "discard" them. We think the course that it is better for all that there are such as Manolis who takes care of the animals.
Manolis has good cooperation with a local veterinarian who vaccinated, neutered and make sure the animals are doing well. The home is operated only through its own resources, donations and contributions from private donors and corporations and has engaged many tourists who have a burning heart for our four-legged friends.
While my colleagues and Mette Kathrine on Crete has a burning heart for animals. Not only that they are constant visitors at the home during their days off. They also decided to start a fundraising collaboration with Manolis and CAP.
A collection that is only possible with your help - all you who have a burning heart for stray animals and as a holiday in Rethymnon and Hersonissos this summer.
