Check letters in the string

How to check if the first three letters in the string are the same as three last letters reversed. They can't overlap. For example: 

"karak" -> False
"kaakaak" -> True

Figured out that like this I can check out first three and last three reversed letters of string:

if s[:3] == s[-3:][::-1]:

But how to check if they are overlaping or not?

Checking length and compare first 3 letters with last 3 letters:

is_equal = True if len(s) >= 6 and s[:3] == s[-3:][::-1] else False
