Consiglio a tutti di dare questa escursione. Io sono partita dal porto di Zante città con una barca più piccola rispetto alla massa (massimo 50 posti). Abbiamo visto una tartaruga nuotare e dopo ci hanno portato alla spiaggia dell'isola di Marathonissi, uno spettacolo della natura

Der Trip hat sich insgesamt absolut gelohnt! Wir konnten 1 Schildkröte bereits im Hafen beobachten und 1 dann bald nach der Abfahrt in der Bucht von Laganas. Faszinierend. Meiner Meinung nach ging die Crew sehr umsichtig vor- keine Rede von unsensibler Schildkröten-Verfolgung. Im Gegenteil. Weiter ging’s entlang der Küste zu den Keri-Höhlen: wunderschön! 2 herrliche Badestopps. Marathonissi wurde auch angesteuert in einem Moment, wo nicht so viele große Boote dort waren. Das Brutgebiet der Schildkröten wird dort gemieden, was ich gut finde. 1 Punkt Abzug, weil das Boot größer war, als angegeben- es gab dafür aber eine Entschuldigung und einen extra Badestopp.Lovely day with different places to stop for a swim. Crew really helpful and at a reasonable price. Well worth a visit

I cannot believe the way these poor creatures are hounded by a mass of boats. The "protection" afforded to the nesting grounds on Marathonisi is laughable. If I had any idea what this tour was like I would never have gone. I think most people on the boat were quite shocked. Actually the bigger boats are not the biggest problem, even worse is the fact tourists can hire self drive speedboats. These beautiful creatures are part of the make up of this island and the authorities need to stop this exploitation now.
