: It might seem funny but the islet has the shape of a sea turtle! Moreover, being a laying environment of the Caretta Caretta turtle, Marathonisi has no reason to “envy” the popular exotic destinations. Blue-green waters and white sand compose the scenery, but due to the lack of natural shade it would be wise to outfit yourself with hats and sunscreen during your stay. A local floating canteen will provide you with the necessary refreshments. Boats to Marathonisi can be found in Lagana (Agios Sostis port) and Lake Keri.
