The Caretta Caretta turtles beach. A long sandy beach with clear waters. Ideal for families.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Zakynthos. Part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, you can spot many caretta caretta nests on the sand especially if you visit this place during the nesting period (End of May-Beginning of September). It is always clean without any motorboats in close distance. Sunset @ Gerakas is a must-live experience.

Gerakas is the southern beach of the island and for sure one of the most beautiful. It consists of a long sand tongue ending in a small promontoryGeraka diving in the sea. The promontory is very famous since it is entirely made of clay and in the past was used by the tourists to get a regenerating “clay therapy”. Today, the final part of the beach is closed Gerakasbecause too many people pulled off the clay, making the ridge unsafe. From May to October for those who would like to wake up before dawn, there is the possibility to assist to the turtles’ eggs hatching and admire tens of specimens trying to reach the sea. This beach is a protected area of the Zakynthos Marine Park because of the turtles’ choice to go there to hatch, and in addition to the fact that it doesn’t offer any tourist devices the access is forbidden from half an hour before the sunset to half an hour after dawn.
