Surround yourself with the beauty of Ionian nature on this half-day cruise geared for children. You’ll sail past 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, sailing past 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.
Available from Musement.
