Details
Enjoy a few hours on the water and let yourself be enchanted by the treasures around Zakynthos on our boat trip to the Keri Caves and the island of Marathonisi! We start in the port of Agios Sostis and the first thing we do is look for some Caretta Caretta turtles that live in Laganas Bay. As soon as we see some, you can take photos of these rare animals. Here we put great emphasis on the rules that the national park has set in order to protect the turtles.
The next highlight of our tour are the Keri Caves. These are special rock formations that form beautiful caves and arches. Our boat is the perfect size to pass through one of the arches. We will then cruise along the coves and caves so that you can take some nice photos as a souvenir. Have your snorkelling gear ready, because after that we will go to another amazing spot: Marathias Beach, which is famous for its thermal waters! The view of the sea tunnel with its deep blue water and white beach will take your breath away. Here we can make a swimming stop and go for a swim together in the beautiful water.
Our last stop is Marathonisi Island, also called Turtle Island. It got its name from the breeding beach of the Caretta Caretta turtles, which lay and bury over 1,000 eggs here every year. Here we pass the caves of the island before we come to the sandy beach. Once again, you have time to cool off in the water or explore the island! If you wish, you can also stay longer on the island and contact us later so that we can pick you up again and bring you back to Zakynthos.
