TURTLE MONITORING

The natural heritage of Zakynthos is its absolute wealth. As one of the most important breeding habitats of Caretta Caretta sea turtles in the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean seal Monachus Monachus, Zakynthos must preserve this heritage and protect the marine environment for future generations. As part of this effort, theNational Marine Park of Zakynthos was established, including the entire bay of Laganas. Visiting the spawning beaches is allowed from 7:00 am until sunset under the strict instructions of the environmental guards.

At the same time, visitors can observe the sea turtles in the sea part of the protected area, where deficient speed navigation, swimming, and diving are allowed. [Information Zakynthos National Marine Park, 1, Eleftheriou Venizelou str., phone +3026950 298 70]
