CARETA-CARETA

The greatest number of the sea turtles Careta-Careta gathers, every summer, in the island of Zakynthos to lay their eggs in the busiest bay of Laganas. This is the most important reproductive place of Careta-Careta in the Mediterranean.





There, in the most important touristic resort of the island with the longest beaches in Greece (5 klm long) than any other place in the Mediterranean, 1600 nests are created in six beaches. Due to the danger of extinction of Careta-Careta that reproduces in Zakynthos, the bay is under strict measures and it is protected with international agreements, regulations, enactments and laws.

In the beaches of incubation, members of the Organization for the Protection of Sea Turtles have placed signs, which inform the visitors about the protective measures of the egg laying of Careta-Careta.

The period of egg laying is during the summer months where the female turtles visit the beach at night and by digging in the sand they create nests; in a depth of half a meter, they lay their eggs.





These eggs, after a period of 60 days, will hatch and the young turtles will make their maiden voyage to the sea. As the Organization for the Protection of the Sea Turtle mentions, the young turtles must not be helped to find their way to the sea because this first route is vital for their life and their constant struggle to survive.

Therefore, because of the international importance, the Laganas bay will soon accommodate the National Sea Park of Zakynthos. This will strengthen the protection and the scientific observation of sea turtles. However, it will also help the ecological project that has been adopted by the Organization.
In the beach of Laganas, there is a an information kiosk, which hands out leaflets for anyone who wants to know about the sea turtles and the organization's targets.

With your help, you will strengthen our project and be part of the fulfillment of our visions because the protection of the sea turtle Careta-Careta is the responsibility of all of us.

Apart from the collaboration and help from the Ministry in charge, from the volunteers, Greek and foreigners and from the scientists, help and support from the visitors are required in order not to disturb the eco-system in the beaches of egg laying.

So, the night walks in these beaches are not allowed. Moreover, sailing and docking of any ship is not permitted in the bay. Also umbrellas, placed in the sand are not allowed in the beaches of Laganas and Kalamaki.
