Zakynthos > Limni Keriou

The Village

Limni Keriou ( “the lake of Keri” ) is located in the southern most part of the island and about 20 kilometers from the airport. Lying on the rim of a picturesque fishing harbor, Limni Keriou has everything to offer that a tourist needs, who likes to be away from the hustle and bustle of major tourist centers. Tours to turtle island Marathonissi and to the grottos of Keri start at this harbor. This area is also highly popular with divers and the individualistic tourist. A small sandy beach and a larger pebble beach line the bay of Limni Keriou.

The village Keri to which Limni Keriou belongs is one of the oldest mountain villages of the island and has remained unspoiled over the years. Situated on a low rolling mountain slope densely overgrown by olive trees and overshadowed by two approximately 400 meters high mountain tops, Keri is made up of a dense assembly of low level houses for the some 1000 people living here.
