Mounda and Ratzakli

Situated by the sandy beach at Mounda, the Marina Bay is ideal for a secluded peaceful holiday.

The Loggerhead turtle is the only turtle known to nest in Greeece. It can be distinguished from other turtles by its large head and reddish-brown shell. It can reach a length of one metre and weigh over 100 kilos. In Greece, Loggerheads lay during the night up to four nests per season with over 100 eggs in each.

This is the head-quarters of the Katelios Group for Research and Protection of Marine Terrestrial Life. Their museum and office can be found by the bus stop just outside Kato Katelios and is easily recognised by the large sign showing a dolphin, turtle and eagle.

It is open 09.30-13.30 and 17.00-21.30
