CUBANERO'S BEACH BAR, LAGANAS, ZAKYNTHOS (ZANTE)
GO TURTLE SPOTTING WITH US
IN LAGANAS BAY THIS SUMMER!!
Not only do we offer you relaxing days in the sun, chilled out evenings and partys galore, why don't you come turtle spotting with us?
THE LOGGERHEAD TURTLE
The endangered species of Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta Caretta) are found in the waters of the Ionian Sea, in particular around the sheltered bays of Zakynthos. The beaches of Zakynthos, especially in Laganas bay area, have the highest concentration of turtle nesting sites in the Mediterranean. It is important that these nesting grounds are protected to ensure the survival of this species of sea turtle in the Ionian Sea.
PROTECTION
The Society for the Turtle Protection together with the Greek Ministry of Environment work to try to protect the Caretta Caretta. Nesting sites are patrolled to protect the eggs and hatchlings.
BOAT TRIP TIMES
We depart every hour from 11am-5pm during the summer months. We also do trips to Marathonisi Island (Turtle Island) and the surrounding caves twice a day, from 12pm-2pm and 3pm-5pm.
GO TURTLE SPOTTING WITH US!!
Join us on the Cubanero's Boat (seating up to 25 people) for our daily turtle spotting boat trips to see the Caretta Caretta close up in their natural habitat. It is a favourite trip of many tourists as it offers a unique experience to see such ancient and majestic creatures swimming gracefully in the calm waters of the Ionian Sea.
YOU CAN HELP!
Below are a few tips for you to take into consideration to help us to help the Caretta Caretta...
- Take your rubbish with you when you leave the beach. Litter can be mistaken by the turtles as food and once they have eaten it, it can cause them to suffocate or be poisoned.
- Do not dig up turtles nests.
- Do not pick up the hatchlings or carry them to the water. It is part of their natural progression to make their own way to the sea, developing their muscles on the land so that they are strong enough to swim.
