    Hiking

    From the path that runs along the mountainside, you have a beautiful view over the bay and the Marathonisi rock.

    Hiking

    View of Marathonisi, an uninhabited island in the bay of Laganas. It is widely known as "Turtle Island" as it is one of the most important nesting sites for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean.

    The island is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos.
    Between June and August, females come to the sandy beach at night to lay their eggs.


    From certain viewpoints, such as from Limni Keri, the shape of the island itself resembles a turtle.
