Beskrivning
Spot Caretta-Caretta sea turtles at Marathonisi island and swim at the Keri Caves on a cruise from Zakynthos. Enjoy a relaxed, nature-focused cruise on this 3 -hour cruise.
Head to Agios Sostis port in Laganas, southern Zakynthos, and board the M/V SETI — a small boat carrying a maximum of 50 passengers, ensuring an intimate, unhurried experience very different from the large tour boats.
Set sail for Marathonisi, also known as Turtle Island, located within the Zakynthos National Marine Park and one of the most important Caretta-Caretta nesting sites in the Mediterranean. As you approach, keep your camera ready — turtles are frequently spotted feeding in these protected waters. The crew will guide you on responsible wildlife watching, ensuring you observe the turtles without disturbing them in their natural habitat.
Enjoy a swim stop at Marathonisi's secluded sandy bay — calm, shallow, crystal-clear water away from the crowded resort beaches of Laganas.
Next, head to the Keri Caves on the dramatic southern coastline. Natural sea caverns carved into the limestone cliffs create an extraordinary setting with exceptional water clarity. Swim inside and around the cave entrance and explore one of the most photogenic spots on the island.
This is a relaxed, nature-focused cruise — no entertainment, no shows, just the sea, the turtles, and the wild southern coast of Zakynthos. Ideal for families, wildlife lovers, and anyone who wants a quieter, more meaningful alternative to the big boat tours.
Turtle sightings are common May–October but cannot be guaranteed — these are wild animals in their natural habitat. Itinerary subject to change at the captain's discretion based on weather and sea conditions.
