In a nutshell

Jump aboard a motor boat to spot the most famous inhabitants of Zakynthos: the Caretta-Caretta sea turtles. From the boat, your guide will tell you their secrets, and then you'll dive in and with a bit of luck you'll get to see them up close, among the caves and white sand beaches. You're in a protected marine environment and in every untouched corner you explore, you'll be aware of the privilege of being here.

The programme

The adventure begins as soon as you're on the bus, on the panoramic road that leads to Agios Sostis, in the heart of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, an oasis where the essence of the Mediterranean is perfectly intact.
This is the home of Zakynthos' most famous inhabitants, the Caretta-Caretta sea turtles: They nest on as many as 7 beaches in this protected marine area, and return to where they were born every summer. Ask your guide how they manage to come back to the exact same spot!
Dive on in and with a bit of luck you might spot a few: adult males can be recognized by their long tails.
The motor boat will circle around their official residence, the uninhabited island of Marathonissi: enjoy it all, bay after bay, from the unique perspective of the sea. Just think: the last Monk seals in the Mediterranean live in its caves.
Still further west, toward the cape, discover more blue caverns which open up against the steep white rock: the caves of Keri.
You have plenty of time to photograph them and fall in love...but don't get carried away: remember that you are just a privileged guest, in a truly unique environment.
