Did you know that you can see baby turtles being born in Zakynthos?

This is a super rare experience that only exists during a small period of the year in Zakynthos. I cannot seem to find the exact timing of the hatching season, so if anyone knows please let me know. One of the best places that you can find these young turtles is Kalamaki Beach, which also happens to be one of the most popular beaches for swimming in Zakynthos. The beach is a protected conservation area, which is why it is closed at night, so that the turtle eggs can hatch and the turtles can safely make their way into the water.

Should be summer around August. You can also see them in Kefalonia at Mounda beach near Skala . They usually lie their eggs at night and cover them with sand.

I always thought this looked like a good thing to do - to visit Zakynthos during this time. So cool!
