Downloadable spreadsheet which calculates key dates each year, including Paska/Easter.
Current year selected by default, or enter a year in cell A1:
GGi Greek calendar calculator (http://goinggreek.info/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2079.0;attach=108)
Credits:
Paska online calculator script thanks to gmarts.org (http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=415)
The spreadsheet formula for calculating Greek Easter is based on the Oudin algorithm I found on Claus Tondering's website (https://www.tondering.dk/claus/cal/easter.php#simplecalc).
The spreadsheet formula for calculating Western Easter is a slightly modified version of one I found on contextures.com (https://www.contextures.com/exceleastercalculation.html) and, as it says, should be accurate for dates from 1900 - 2203.

Cruises calling at Kefalonia
Some days it's best to avoid Argostoli. When the cruise ships are in. Lots of extra visitors looking around the shops. And lots more on the tour coaches seeing the delightful sights. If you're on your jollies and have a hire car it's probably best to avoid the tourist trail these days, especially Melissani at midday... long queue, short rowing boat ride. Even Fiskardo isn't quite so quaint when you can't see it for tourists.
Ship calling in to: Argostoli / Fiskardo / Sami / Vathy

Greek Cities Announce Wave of Carnival Cancellations, Following Health Minister Order
https://www.thenationalherald.com/288653/greek-cities-announce-wave-of-carnival-cancellations-following-health-minister-order/
Apokreas/karnavali celebrations cancelled on Kef. According to article above, Patras carnival may be re-scheduled for June, not sure that's practical on a busy tourist island such as Kef - but would be great for the tourists if it was!

Bit of news on Cruises calling at Kefalonia (http://goinggreek.info/index.php?topic=4981.msg26905#msg26905): Norwegian Cruise Line have extended their pause in service and the first NCL boat due to call in to Argostoli, the Norwegian Dawn originally scheduled for 12 May, will - hopefully - be departing Venice on 5 July. Also departing on 5 July, the first NCL ship to reach Kef this summer could be the Norwegian Spirit out of Piraeus. According to according to cruiseindustrynews.com (https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/22834-when-norwegian-cruise-line-ships-may-return-to-service.html)
Not sure how accurate that is as I can't find the dates confirmed on the Norwegian Cruise Line website (https://www.ncl.com/uk/en/vacations?ships=Norwegian_Dawn&destinations=Mediterranean_Cruises).
