Marathon

Stunning but small beach with nice views and ability to see the turtle nesting sites. Cannot touch for obvious reasons. Amazing afternoon turtle spotting with the family. Beautiful end to our Zakynthos holiday.

Perfect .I paddle here from laganas early morning flat calm sea .without the many motor boats .

You can buy a taxi boat for +€10pp they will drop you on the island and pick you up whenever you want to go back. I've seen some turtles in the water, and didn't visit the actual island as it wasn't part of our trip.

Really amazing, so natural and so over touristic 🙃 Cristal waters , and awesome landscapes…

We got dropped off there by one of the tour boats and it immediately felt very bad. This is the beach the turtles go to to lay their eggs. The island was overcrowded, no place to explore or lay your towel. They should completely close it off to people so that the turtles have one place they can go in peace without massive amounts of people chasing them.

Get a boat taxi from Agios Sostis port and you ll have a short trip to Caves and Marathonisi beach. No beach umbrellas allowed. There are also small cantinas with sandwiches and drinks on the island. No reservation is needed.

It’s a nice place, beautiful blue and clear water, recommended to visit. Lots of fish but no turtle. The beach isn’t big and usually lots of people. No toilet option just let you know. Usually 2-3 boats converted to shop and you can buy drink ,burgers , ice creams ect basic but useful, also the boats is the only option to put your bin out. If you go to Zakinthos you should visit the island

They call it Turtle island bc there are no constructions by humen(luckily!) No light, No Noise, No human pollution & No enemy, so the best place for turtles to lay eggs. Nice beach but not something special! If you’re lucky you can spot some turtles. But we saw them at the laganas beach! So no need to disturb the nature for tanning on a beach. You could tan in every other beach. Also because tourists don’t pay attention and throw plastic and rubbish on the bech and in the sea! 😤😣🤦🏻‍♀️
