Hellenic Post is once again participating this year in the Joint European Edition EUROPA 2024 with the theme "Underwater Fauna and Flora", and they are taking us on a journey to the bottom of the Greek seas. The two impressive stamps highlight the unparalleled beauty of marine biodiversity, presenting the famous shell of the gastropod Pseudotorinia architae and the special shell that houses the eggs of the female octopus Argonauta argo.
