This monastery is one of the oldest landmarks on the island. I was so shocked to find out that it was originally built in 1096. It has been restored over time, of course, but much of the monastery remains in good condition. The name behind the monastery is debated, and its true origin is actually unknown. I've never been, but I have been doing a little bit of research about the monastery and I'm considering a visit when I go to Kefalonia this year. Has anyone on the forum been to the monastery or perhaps the nearby area of Agia Dinati Mountain?

I have never been! It sounds like an interesting place to visit. Does it take a lot to get up to it or can you drive up?
You can drive there, nor far from Sami.

I'm planning an upcoming trip to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and I've heard quite a bit about the turtles that can be seen around the island. 
Being a wildlife lover, I'd be thrilled to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat! I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate insights from those who have visited or are knowledgeable about the local wildlife:

- What is the best time of year to observe turtles in Kefalonia?
- Are there specific locations where sightings are more common?
- Do local conservation efforts support safe viewing that won't disrupt the turtles' natural behavior?
