This trip combines natural beauty, adventure, and the chance to see the island’s most famous residents—the Caretta-Caretta (loggerhead sea turtles).
Turtle Island (Marathonisi) – A Paradise for Nature Lovers
Located in Laganas Bay, Marathonisi—also known as Turtle Island—is an unspoiled paradise with white sandy beaches and lush green surroundings. Its unique turtle-shaped silhouette makes it one of the most recognizable spots in Zakynthos.
Why Visit Turtle Island?
• Spot the Loggerhead Sea Turtles – Zakynthos is one of the most important nesting sites for the endangered Caretta-Caretta turtles. If you’re lucky, you might see them swimming gracefully in their natural habitat.
• Swim in Turquoise Waters – The shallow, warm waters around Marathonisi are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
• Relax on a Secluded Beach – Since the island is uninhabited, it offers a peaceful escape from the crowds.
Keri Caves – A Hidden Gem of Zakynthos
After visiting Turtle Island, the tour continues to the Keri Caves, an incredible series of rock formations and sea caves along the southwest coast of Zakynthos.
What Makes Keri Caves Special?
• Stunning Rock Formations – The caves have been shaped by the sea over thousands of years, creating natural arches and tunnels.
• Crystal-Clear Water – The shades of blue here are unreal, making it an amazing spot for swimming.
• Explore by Boat or Swim Inside – Many caves are large enough for boats to enter, while others can be explored by snorkeling or swimming.
