Corfu sits within one of the Mediterranean's most important loggerhead nesting corridors, and individuals forage on the posidonia meadows adjacent to Agios Gordios from May to October. They feed primarily on jellyfish and seagrass in this area, and their slow, deliberate movements make them ideal photographic subjects. Encounters are most reliable in the early morning before boat traffic increases.
