Thessaloniki’s seafront is teeming with sharks and rays!

As part of the Life PROMETHEUS project, the environmental organisation iSea, in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki, invites you to the Sculpture Garden – next to the Glass Municipal Library, in Thessaloniki’s “Nea Paralia”, for a unique guided tour amongst iconic species of sharks and rays found in Greece and the Mediterranean!

You can visit the sculptures’ exhibition from 20 September to 4 October.

Admission and the guided tour are FREE.

Join us for a unique experience for all ages!!!

33 species of sharks, 28 species of rays and 1 chimaera are an integral part of Greek seas, yet more than half are at risk of extinction.

You can come and learn more about the most misunderstood species in our seas, discover their characteristics up close from realistic large-scale sculptures and discuss with us the threats they face!

Representatives from iSea will be at the exhibition to provide you with all the necessary information and answer any questions you may have.

Opening hours

Monday – Friday from 09:00 to 14:00

Saturday and Sunday from 18:00 to 21:00

We look forward to welcoming visitors of all ages – whether with friends, family, a school class or a group – throughout the exhibition’s running period.

And on 4 October, we’ll be there all day to celebrate World Animal Day with you!!!

The exhibition is being held as part of the Life PROMETHEUS project and under the auspices of the Municipality of Thessaloniki with the aim of raising public awareness. It begins in Thessaloniki and will travel to all the project partners’ countries (Greece, Cyprus, Italy, France, Spain).
