Turtle Island is a beginner-friendly dive site off Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea, reaching 18 meters around a small islet known for its turtle-shaped silhouette. The waters around Zakynthos are famous for loggerhead sea turtle encounters, and this site offers good chances of spotting these magnificent creatures gliding through the blue. The rocky reef around the island features healthy marine communities with groupers, octopuses, and colorful wrasse, while posidonia meadows in the shallows provide important habitat for juvenile marine life.
