Marathonisi

This is one of nature greatest coincidences: you find this island shaped like a turtle right in the Careta-Careta (loggerhead) turtles sanctuary.

The 2 grottos and a sandy beach under a majestic cliff are simply marvelous.

Depending on the time of the year, you can spot nests in the protected area and, if you get lucky, you may see turtles swimming in the clear waters (If you enjoy laying in the sun we recommend the sandy beach, where you will not be threatened by falling rocks.

This fascinating island can be easily reached by boat or kayak from Limni Keri, Agios Sostis or Marathias. Fun boat bars sell snacks and drinks in Marathonisi.
