Have you been to Assos village?

I'm planning a trip to Kefalonia and have heard a lot of great things about Myrtos Beach.

Has anyone on this forum been there? I'm interested in knowing:

• The best time of day to visit
• Tips for parking and accessibility
• Recommendations for nearby local eateries
• Any must-know tips for first-time visitors (like peak times to avoid, if it's suitable for kids, etc.)

Also, if you have any suggestions for other activities or attractions nearby that are worth exploring, I'd love to hear about those too!

I have always wanted to see the turtles in Kefalonia. They come to the beach to lay eggs or something once a year or so, right? Did I miss it?

I Might have to wait until next year to do this. Does anyone have an advice?

I was originally planning to go n September, but I think if that is the case, I would have missed it?

I have a bucket list of going to Kefalonia while the turtles are on the beaches. I love turtles and this seems like a really beautiful thing.

I found this video that talks about them. It's not quite seeing them in person, but it was informative. Thought I'd share:

I am planing to go to Kefalonia and want to stay in a town that has a lot going on but maybe isn't so big and overwhelming. I researched and thought maybe Lixouri was a candidate?

This will be my first time on Kefalonia and I am interested in any tips you can give, such as:

• What are the must-see attractions in and around Lixouri?
• Can you suggest any hidden gems that a tourist might typically overlook?
• What's the best way to get around the town and to nearby sites?
• Any advice on local dining spots or unforgettable culinary experiences?
• I'm also interested in outdoor activities — are there any particular hikes or natural wonders not to be missed?
• Lastly, if you have any tips on cultural etiquette or local customs, I’d love to hear about them!

Thank you!

I am planning to go to Kefalonia and want to visit Melissani Cave. I am personally very excited about it, but someone in my party is afraid of small spaces (small, dark spaces). Their claustrophobia is actually something they've needed therapy for in the past.

To those of you who have been, do you think this individual should try to find something else to do that day?!

I am not crazy about that aspect of visiting caves either, but I don't have a legit fear like she does. I know that I can relax and enjoy the experience once I get used to the feelings of being in a cave.
