Lefkada is known to host some nesting sites of this turtle. Margaritoulis et al. (2003: 177) estimated 50 nests, while Vallianos & Grimanis (2013: 5) estimated 15 nests on three beaches (Agios Ioannis, Mylos and Gialos). Some photos and videos of Loggerhead Turtles taken around Lefkada coasts are available on the web.
