The only literature record of the Turkish Gecko on the island is by Werner (1938). We observed two individuals on houses in Nydri town (25/5/2019; Fig. 2E ). There are several citizen science records from near Agios Petros (11/4/2019), Apollonion (20/7/2019), Athani (5/5/2019, 30/9/2019), south of Athani (25/6/2019), Fryni (24/9/2019), Kariotes (7/6/2019, 28/8/29019), Lefkada town (21/9/2019) and Vasiliki (19/11/2018, 3/5/2019, 6/11/2019).
