Details
The southern part of Zakynthos is famous for its big population of Caretta-Caretta turtles. You can spot them and explore the coast of this island on this boat trip to the Keri Caves! We will pick you up with our mini-bus from your accommodation. We then drive to Cameo Island, where we will board the boat right next to the hanging wooden bridge. This bridge is already the first famous sight that you will see during this trip. After a short moment to take pictures, we board our glass-bottom boat and head towards the Keri Caves.
Along the way, you can spot the turtles and other wildlife through the glass. Once we arrive at the Keri Caves, we stop to swim in the crystal clear water and admire the caves from the inside. They are surrounded by plenty of natural stone arches, so you can swim underneath them and take some amazing photos.
We then continue to the final stop at Marathonisi Island. This island is shaped like a turtle, and its beaches are nesting places for the Caretta-Caretta species, thus it has gotten the name Turtle Island. We stop here for another swim at the Golden Nesting Beach. After the tour, we will get back into the minibus, and drop you off at your accommodation.
Highlights
- Spot the Caretta-Caretta turtles through the glass-bottom boat
- Swimming stop at the Keri Caves and the Golden Nesting Beach

I would recommend Boste Trip to Caves Čeri and occassional turtle Sporting because turtles are very kind and noble creatures and Zakonthos is a very fine place to try your best to fond them.

Nice boat with spacious benches, which is ideal with small children. Swimming from the boat, both in a bay and at a small beach, was lovely. We actually saw two large turtles as well: one in the harbor (it is being fed, though) and one at sea.
