Marathonisi Island
Marathonisi Island – Turtle Island Boat Tour
Sail to Marathonisi, the small uninhabited island affectionately known as “Turtle Island.” With its calm, shallow turquoise waters and golden sandy beach, Marathonisi is one of the most important nesting grounds for the endangered Caretta-caretta sea turtles. Departing from Porto Roma in Vasilikos, this relaxed boat trip is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and — if you’re lucky — spotting sea turtles in their natural habitat.
Tour Highlights :
- Turtle Spotting – Marathonisi is a protected nesting site for the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta-caretta) — keep an eye out as you sail.
- Uninhabited Island – Explore an untouched, natural islet with soft sand and shallow, calm waters.
- Calm & Shallow Waters – Perfect for families, swimming, and snorkeling.
- Relaxed Pace – A slower, more laid-back trip compared to the open-sea tours.
- Flexible Options – Choose to sail yourself or relax with an experienced skipper.
