Description
Go on a relaxing cruise around the bays of Keri and Lagana in the south of Zakynthos on this guided tour. Be one with nature as you explore the Keri Caves and Turtle Island.
Having been picked up from your resorts, your day will begin at the port of Agios Sostis. Here you will embark on your 3-hour trip taking in the spectacular scenery with caves, cliffs and arches.
First we will gently cruise around Laganas Bay for turtle spotting. The Caretta-Caretta is a protected species and is one of Zakynthos' most famous inhabitants.
Next we will cruise close to the small island of Marathonisi, also known as Turtle Island due to its shape and can enjoy a swim stop at the caves at the back of the island.
Sailing south to the stunning Keri Caves where you will have some fantastic photo opportunities.
