Notes
 Kaminia is the nesting ground for the loggerhead turtles
(Caretta
caretta).
Caretta caretta is an endangered species that nest extensively
, in Kefalonia (Kaminia, and Skala beaches), in Zakynthos island,
in western peloponnese, and in Crete. The Caretta Caretta breeding
season overlaps with the European high tourist season as the turtles
approach the beaches to lay eggs between May and August.
Like most turtles, they take decades to reach sexual
maturity and they prefer to lay their eggs at the beach where
they hatched themselves. They prefer a sandy and quiet nesting
ground, and any human activity at the beach tends to interfere
with the Caretta caretta nesting.
