The best way to see turtles is to join the Society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT) at Alagadi Turtle Beach, where you can watch the turtles and support their conservation at the same time.

How long did it take to travel from Venice to Cyprus by wooden sailing ship?
Answer 1
It would take approx 9.79 days if one was traveling in a galley at 11.5 knots Cyprus is approximately 1227 nautical miles from Venice , 11.5 knots is about 6 miles an hour one nautical mile = 1.15 mile we take 1227 x 1.15 = 1411 / 6, 235 hours 235 / 24 = 9.79 days of constant sailing assuming good weather.
Answer 2
I respectfully disagree with the foregoing. Not with the math but with the concept of being able to get a medieval or Renaissance galley to move that fast.
There are 3 good modern examples based on professionally-constructed replica vessels.
The replica Trireme Olympias [, launched 1985, now a museum ship of the Greek Navy, in permanent drydock] , and the two biggest viking longship replicas,-the Sea Stallion and the Drakkar Harald Fairhair.
Greek Navy official records during the Sea Trials of "Olympias" record a maximum speed under oars of just over 9 knots - and the trained Greek Navy crew could only maintain that for about 15 minutes at a time.
The two viking longship replicas have only been able to manage about 6 knots maximum under oars for similarly short periods. Under sail, however both longships have proven significantly faster than the trireme, having reached 18knots running downwind under favourable conditions.
Thus I suggest that a more-reasonable voyage speed between Venice and Cyprus would be an average of 6 knots at the best.

Who is the national hero of Cyprus?
Cyprus has a lot of national heroes, but there two heroes from the last years, named, Tasos Isaak (Τάσος Ισαάκ) and his cousin Solomos Solomou (Σολωμός Σολωμού). Tasos Isaak was killed 1996 while protesting for the freedom of Cyprus by the turkish extremists, grey wolfs, and by the turkish police. Solomos Solomou was killed some days later on the funeral of Tasos Isaak while his was taking off the turkish flag from the UN-Bufferzone by the turkish military. So how you can see they died for their country, so they are national heroes for Cyprus and for Greece. And how you can see too, Turkey has made an illegaly action, they was against the law and killed to civilists. And I hope Cyprus will be free again soon! Long live Cyprus! Good luck to our brothers the Cypriots. Να ζήσει η Κύπρος! Χαιρετίσματα από την Θεσσαλονίκη!
