Hiking
From this point, you have a wide view of "Turtle Island", officially known as Marathonisi.
The viewpoint is located in the hills above Kalamaki. It lies within the peripheral zone of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos.
The uninhabited island in the bay of Laganas owes its nickname to its shape, which resembles a turtle from certain angles. It is an important nesting site for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta).
