THE Hawk is one of its most beautiful beaches Zakynthosof rare ecological importance, while it is protected by the Marine Park of Zakynthos as it is where the Caretta-Caretta sea turtle lays its eggs.
For this reason, Gerakas recently entered the list of the country’s “cheat beaches”, where according to the KYA, they will not be granted for tourist exploitation. In particular, it is prohibited to grant the right of simple use of the beach and beach, as well as any other action that may endanger their morphology and their integrity in terms of their ecological functions. Which means that, among other things, table chairs, umbrellas, sunbeds, etc. are prohibited.
The truth is that Gerakas – located near Cape Geraki on the peninsula of Vasilikos in the south of Zakynthos – has always been protected, due to the Careta-Careta and for this reason, it has preserved its natural beauty. The long golden sand beach ends at a small cape, famous for its clay, but which you cannot use for ecological reasons.
Gerakas is one of the few sandy beaches on the island, with the beach and bottom covered by fine golden sand, making it ideal for families. The waters of the beach are shallow and warm.
