SAWA - Santorini Animal Welfare Association Space

Welcome to the Santorini Animal Welfare Association – SAWA Confluence Page

This space and it’s pages are designed for the general Public. To Inform our Followers / Donators and Friends in the greater Public

 

The Santorini Animal Welfare Association – SAWA is a non-governmental, non-profit  organization, founded in 1992 by active and devoted animal lovers of the island of Santorini, Greece. In 2021 we started to build a new shelter for all the stray and abandoned animals of Santorini. Our goal is to provide a happy home for these animals and, where possible, give them a second chance for a life in a loving family.

 

This shelter is one of the few places in the world that allows animals to coexist in groups instead of individual cages and that uniquely creates a safe haven for animals until they can be adopted. We have done this for over a decade

We have a lot of things to share and document therefor we use our Team Platform to provide you with some Interesting Information's from our Meetings and Activities On and Off Premise

Based on the Fact that everything we do is based on Volunteers please be patient we do your best to share our work with you.

Orientation on Site

In Santorini many ways lead to the destination. Here is a short description how to find it on the spot by the stores

no matter from which direction you come, the Grigoris Bakery is a good fixed point. On the other side of the street there is also the Grillicious restaurant

now take the road to the southwest past the Jetoil gas station (on the right side)

Drive down the road until you see a small sign on the left side offering horseriding. There you turn left

Stay on the road until you come to a crossroads where there is a ship in the yard on the left. There you turn right

Then you reach the Saint Anna, Santorini 847 00, Greek church which you leave on the right and turn left into the road, keeping constantly on the left even if the road is going down.

Follow the road until you see a broken boat on the left side and turn left at the next possibility.

Now you should see the gate of the shelter

Vehicles

The shelter can be reached by car, quad or scooter. An off-road vehicle is not necessary. The road to the shelter is partly tarred or made of sand so that it can be reached with a simple vehicle.

Parking facilities

Due to the operation of the shelter and the constant construction of the shelter, we ask you not to park inside the Shelter
