Boat cruise
Jos matkaa markkinoidaan merikilpikonna risteilynä, olisi kiva että mentäisiin sellaisiin paikkoihin joissa niitä voisi näkyä tai pesimäpaikoille. Nyt tämä retki jäi enemmän kahden kerran uinti reissuksi ja kerrotaan kilpikonnista. Että en mainostaisi kilpikonna risteilynä tätä retkeä, vaikka tekstissä lukee että saattaa nähdä. Voisiko sitten olla sellainen kamera veneessä joka näyttäisi merenalta kuvaa joissa kilpikonnat ehkä näkyä
Surround yourself with the beauty of Ionian nature on this half-day cruise geared for children. You'll set sail for Marathonisi Island, anchoring up for swimming along the way, before gaining an insight into local conservation efforts. Kay, one of our guides, says, ‘We love to show everyone this beautiful place and maybe spot a turtle to understand why and how we protect our environment. It's a fun tour, which makes sustainability visible.'
You'll cast off from Agios Sostis towards pine-clad Marathonisi Island in Laganas Bay. This uninhabited islet is nicknamed ‘Turtle Island' because its beaches are a favourite nesting site for loggerheads. Kids will love this one, too – there'll be activities aimed at teaching them more about turtle conservation. They'll also learn about respecting the island's environment, protecting it from litter.
Next, you'll swing by the Oasis sea cave for a swim stop before heading closer to the island. We'll drop anchor once more for an extra dose of snorkelling. Remember to keep an eye on the water for signs of loggerhead turtles and dolphins. What's more, the boat has an integrated sewage drainage system, so nothing harms the sea.
