In Greece, along the southern coast of the Zacinto Island, there is a strange phenomenon. Big marine turtles approach to the crowded beaches showing indifference towards the persons.
Tourists are intrigued and attracted by this novelty. In fact in the bay it has just developed an activity with a great success: the Turtle watching, that is the observation of the marine turtles in their natural environment.
The reason that brings these animals on the coasts in broad daylight is not yet clear, but meanwhile in the whole bay area strict behaviour rules are in force, such as the absolute prohibition of the engine private navigation, in order to avoid incident and limit the disturb to this precious animals.
