Is turtle spotting guaranteed on this cruise?

How much time do you get on Marathonisi beach?

You spend approximately 45–60 minutes on Marathonisi (Turtle Island), a protected sandy beach and nesting ground. Swimming is permitted and the turquoise water is exceptionally clear.

Can you swim inside the Keri Caves?

Yes, the Keri Caves are a highlight of the cruise and the calm, sheltered waters inside are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The sea arch and rock formations create a dramatic natural pool.

What species of sea turtle will I see?

Zakynthos hosts the Loggerhead sea turtle, known by its scientific name Caretta caretta. Adults can weigh up to 180 kg and are completely wild; they are often spotted feeding or surfacing for air near the boat.
