Monk Seal on Patitiri Beach Alonissos, Northern Sporades Greece.

---

This Monk seal was sleeping on the beach near Patitiri Harbour. We thought it was dead but the locals said it was well known and very friendly, it has been christened 'Billy' and had also been spotted on other Alonissos beaches.
