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?
 
Unfortunately it should be about over now. Did you make it to Kefalonia? It starts in June and goes to about mid-August.

Visiting Kefalonia - Which Other Islands Are Close?

We’re planning a trip to Kefalonia and are so excited to explore its beautiful beaches, villages, and unique sights! Since we’ll be in the area, we’re thinking about adding a visit to a nearby island or two, but we’re not sure which ones are easily accessible and worth the extra travel.

We’ve heard Ithaca is very close and has a lot of history, plus those peaceful, secluded beaches sound amazing. Is it easy to get to from Kefalonia, and would a day trip be enough? We’re also curious about Zakynthos – the pictures of Navagio Beach are stunning! Does anyone know how long it takes to get there by ferry? Are there any other islands or spots you’d recommend?

We’d love any tips on ferry routes, how much time to spend on each island, or any hidden gems we shouldn’t miss while island-hopping. Thank you!
