Zakynthos accommodation in Limni Keri
Enjoy the proximity of the sea in the Zante hotel on the beach
As you approach Limni Keri, a pleasant surprise awaits – a coastal neighbourhood full of country houses and vibrant people. A few steps before reaching the shore, Villa Panorama is a Zante hotel on the beach, elevated just enough to offer a wonderful vista of the Ionian sea. Limni means “lake”, and the area was named after a lake that existed many years ago. Today, the only body of water in Keri is the sea. Limni Keri is one of the most unspoiled resorts in southwestern Zakynthos. It consists of the area around the beach, and an uphill village.
Keri is located on the southwest of the island. People refer to it as a fishing village, since many residents have been fishermen for years, and of course, you can also enjoy the popular activity there today. Other occupations held by the locals for centuries were farming and agriculture, whereas today, many families own small hotels, shops and eateries, making it an ideal location for travellers who want a taste of the real Zakynthian hospitality. Everything is within walking distance from the holiday apartments – Zante styled restaurants, supermarkets and beach bars.
What makes Keri so special among other places on the island is the harmonious combination of beautiful nature, with pine trees and olive groves, and the magnificent waters in which one can bathe in all day in the company of a Caretta Caretta turtle. The beach is the far end of Laganas but is much quieter and family-friendly. A Zakynthos hotel on the beach like Villa Panorama offers the chance to rent a boat any time of the day and ride across to Marathonisi, where the crystal clear beach attracts people and Loggerhead turtles alike. The endangered species has chosen the isle to lay their eggs for many years, so it is important to take care and stay close to the shore, so as to leave them in peace while breeding. Your boat will take you all the way to the Keri caves, a natural wonder of white stones emerging from the sea, where you can swim surrounded by the view.
The seaside of Limni Keri might be the most intriguing for visitors, but the main village is located 5 km up the mountain and is a sight not to be missed. Cram-full of tradition and local culture, from the houses to the village church, it is an architectural journey to centuries past. An imposing bell tower decorates the village church. The sea view from the main square while drinking a cup of tea or coffee is adored by travellers. Bask in a charming setting with petite roads to walk along between traditional stone houses. The quaint Venetian-inspired village is a true gem that will satisfy your wanderlust.
Partake in one of the many activities in Keri, or the outer area. Only 15 km from Zante town and 12 km from the airport, a short car ride will take you to wine and olive oil tasting tours, trekking or cycling routes, traditional tavernas and the Keri lighthouse. The sunset there is a Zakynthian dream to live with your friends and family.
