Marin Zakynthos National Park in Laganas Bay
On the southeast coast, eight kilometers south of the city of Zákynthos, the broad bay of Laganás is hosting a few pleasant sand beaches.Since the 1980s, this was the peak resort of the island, with budget accommodation that attracts young visitors in search of sea, sun and fun.However, locals are encouraged to develop echo-tourism here, as Laganas Bay is the area of breeding (Caretta Caretta).A disappearance species, this shy creature puts its eggs in the sand during the summer and there are about 1300 turtles living around the Gulf.In 1999, Marin Zakynthos National Park was created to protect the wild life in the Gulf of Laganás and to limit access to certain areas of the beach during the nesting season.To find out more, visit the Exhibition Center of the Dafni Park, at the eastern end of the Bay of Laganas.
