Places we visit
The turtles are easier to spot in the south of the island, they are not on Turtle Island itself but in the shallow waters of the national marine park. Your captain will try to find turtles for you to see however this is never guaranteed 100% as this is nature! There are also regulations to protect the turtles including speed and distance in this area. You may get lucky and encounter turtles anywhere on the island as they travel around the the Ionian Sea, the area of Alykanas has become another favourite spot of theirs.
This question depends on what you are looking for….If you wish to see shipwreck beach with not so many people the best time would be very early in the morning or late afternoon. However the sun is not fully on the beach at these times.
If you want to see the shipwreck in full sun with the strongest blue reflections the best time is between 10am – 2pm (depending on the time of the season). But please bear in mind this is a very popular area and will be busy at all times during high tourist season.
Yes, in most cases. The sea conditions in the area of shipwreck can often be a little unpredictable. It is common to experience bigger waves, usually the morning is calmer. You will be able to get off the boat and swim as long as the captain feels it is safe for you to do so.
