They are among the largest reptiles in the world, inhabit almost all the oceans and are so ancient that they shared the planet with dinosaurs over 210 million years ago. The Caretta Caretta turtle ("loggerhead" in English for its large and muscular head) is a symbol of the Mediterranean and of Greece in particular: our coasts host 60% of the nests in the Mediterranean area and two of the most important breeding sites for the species, one in Zakynthos and the other in the western Peloponnese.

Did you know that Kefalonia is a natural paradise not only for those who come on holiday but also for the many animal and plant species that populate it? In addition to us, noisy human beings, and the famous Caretta Caretta turtles, the island is home to many species with a more discreet presence such as monk seals, dolphins, wild horses, falcons and many, many colourful insects. A short walk in the greenery (or sometimes, just a snack on the beach) is enough to enter a fascinating microcosm that is always on the move!

Souvenir are the crowning glory of every trip. How to choose something that does not end up irretrievably in a drawer as soon as we return home but, on the contrary, continues over time to make us feel a little on vacation or even entice those who have not been there to leave? What souvenirs did you buy in particular in Kefalonia? Tell us the most original or your favorite, let's prepare together a wish list for next summer!
