The sea turtles of Kefalonia are so fascinating! I have learned about it in the past and wanted to share:
The waters surrounding Kefalonia are home to two types of sea turtles – the Loggerhead turtle and the Green turtle. These majestic creatures are unique and have their respective characteristics, which set them apart.
Loggerhead turtles have a heart-shaped carapace and powerful legs, that enable them to swim at incredible speeds. On the other hand, Green turtles have a more streamlined body shape, making them more comfortable swimmers.
I would totally see them if I had a chance - this looks so amazing!

I'm planning an upcoming trip to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and I've heard quite a bit about the turtles that can be seen around the island. 
Being a wildlife lover, I'd be thrilled to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat! I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate insights from those who have visited or are knowledgeable about the local wildlife:

- What is the best time of year to observe turtles in Kefalonia?
- Are there specific locations where sightings are more common?
- Do local conservation efforts support safe viewing that won't disrupt the turtles' natural behavior?
