Does anyone know if there are more earthquakes on certain islands than others? I would love to visit Kefalonia but I have a huge fear of earthquakes!! Which places should I avoid?

Hi
Earthquakes are not uncommon on the island but in the main are low level and not necessarily felt across the whole island.
Obviously the earthquake in 1953 flattened 85% of the island but as a result of this the island has rigorous requirements for all buildings to be anti seismic.
The last earthquake that did more significant damage was in 2014 and mainly affected the Paliki.

Seismic reports can you usually predict an earthquake, right? I would just read current seismic information, or maybe even just try to put it out of my mind:

There are plenty of earthquakes in Greece due to the amount of fasolatha that is consumed.

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?
