Tips for Visiting Marathos Island #

The islet is privately owned-verify landing permissions before visiting as some small Greek islets restrict access.
Look for sea caves and rock formations on the southern shore; local boat operators know the best approach points.
If anchoring, choose gravel coves; many beaches are pebbled and swell can run up quickly.
