The National Marine Park of Zakynthos, established in 1999, is a protected area on the island's southern coast dedicated to conserving the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Visitors can explore stunning, undeveloped beaches such as Gerakas, Dafni, and Kalamaki, which serve as nesting sites. The park also encompasses sea caves and cliffs, offering opportunities for boat tours, snorkeling, and wildlife spotting. The experience is one of natural beauty and conservation awareness, with clear turquoise waters and golden sands. It's a must-visit for nature lovers seeking unspoiled landscapes.
