Marathonissi is a small island in the turtles’ bay close to Limni Kerì’s beach.
The island has neither inhabitants nor buildings being an area where the CARETTA CARETTA turtles go to breed that has been included in the Zakynthos’ marine park by the WWF.
You can visit the island by private boat or by organized tourists’ visits by caique and for the stronger ones there is the possibility to go by canoes and maybe meeting the turtles.
There are two beautiful beaches: one of pebbles, reachable by swimming from a huge cave, the other one consists of in a large sand area smoothly gliding towards the sea.
For those who love the sun the sandy beach is the best whereas for those who love snorkeling the pebble one is perfect to visit the cave (on the right to the beach) and other smaller ones or partly submerged full of starfish and concretions.
