About the experience

Marathonisi, also known as Turtle Island, is indeed a beautiful part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos.

The fact that it is uninhabited, except for sea turtles, adds to its charm and makes it a unique destination.

The sandy beach on Marathonisi is particularly noteworthy, as it serves as a nesting site for sea turtles. It's a crucial area for their reproduction, and if you're fortunate, you might even witness sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs or see baby turtles making their way to the sea. It's important to be respectful of their natural habitat and follow any guidelines or regulations set by the National Marine Park to ensure the conservation of these magnificent creatures.

The presence of sea caves further enhances the adventure. Exploring these caves while swimming adds an exciting element to the cruise. The crystal-clear waters around Marathonisi make it an ideal location for snorkeling and observing the vibrant marine life beneath the surface.

Overall, your private cruise to the southern part of the island seems to offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, wildlife conservation, and aquatic exploration.

Enjoy your time exploring the wonders of Marathonisi and the surrounding areas!

We (two adults and three teenagers) had a fantastic day out on the ocean. Skipper Alex and his colleague took us to see all the sights: shipwreck beach, caves, great swimming spots, and turtle spotting. Highly recommended! :D
