Marathonisi Beach - Zakynthos

Marathonisi is a small uninhabited island, just off the coast of Laganas
bay.
The island's shape resembles a turtle and it is also a nesting area
for the Caretta Caretta turtles which is why it is affectionately known
as Turtle Island.
There are two main beaches on Marathonisi, one is
where the turtles lay their eggs in the soft golden sand and the other
beach is pebbly with two coves nearby which are fun to discover and
explore. Marathonisi can be reached from either Laganas beach or Keri
Lake by hiring a boat.
It is a lovely place to visit for a tranquil day
of swimming and sunbathing. There are no facilities at this beach, so
why not take a picnic to enjoy eating alfresco in the warmth of the
Mediterranean climate amidst pretty scenery?
