Traveling to Kefalonia in the Summer

[blopez34]

Now that the holidays are behind me, I am starting to think about traveling to Greece in 2023. I want to visit a place I never have before, and I am thinking that Kefalonia might be a great place to explore. I would like to be on the island during when the sea turtles are on the beaches laying there eggs - I always loved wildlife and it seems fascinating. How long in the season? It is maybe a month? If so, would it make sense to visit in June?

So, I want to go to Greece in the summer so I can spend a lot of time on the beach. I know, I can go throughout the summer and into at least the early fall and still have great beach weather, but June works out the best for my schedule and I love taking a vacation around that time.

Besides the turtles and beaches, what else do you guys recommend?

Best Time to Visit the Sea Turtles in Kefalonia

I am hoping to some day see the sea turtles in Kefalonia and I think next year might be it. I hear they only go at certain times of the year. Does anyone know about this? If I travel in June will I see them? I heard that they also only go to certain beaches? Has anyone here seen them? I am so...

Depends on how long you are staying on the island. Myrtos beach has to be on the top of your list. Fiskardo is another, while you are there have lunch at Tasias by the sea. Cave Melissani near Sami. St Georges Castle is interesting and the views are fantastic. Top of mount Ainos if Authorities allow in summer. If you are religious visit St Gerasimos church ( even if you are not ). Assos is another interesting place to go. Xi beach is another. I don't know where you intend to stay but if you go to Kaminia for the turtles go to Katelios for Lunch or dinner. If you like fish, Captain Jerry is the best. If you are near Poros you can go on a day trip to Ithaki and or Navagio in Zakynthos.

I have heard great things about some of those places you mentioned. I want to be able to do the island justice - so I am thing at least ten days. I would love to stay longer, though.

I agree that it depends on when you want to visit! I would stay at least 10 days - especially if you want to do a variety of things. One could spend the whole day at beach, for example, and there are many beaches to see. It also depends on what you want to do while there.
