Why go

A traditional Zakynthian village above sea caves and turtle waters.

Keri combines a stone inland village and lighthouse viewpoint with Limni Keriou harbour, boat trips and access to the marine park.

Keri village sits among olives above Zakynthos's southwest coast, with old houses, a church and sunset viewpoints near the lighthouse. Below, Limni Keriou is a small resort harbour facing Marathonisi.

Boats visit the Keri Caves and turtle habitat within the National Marine Park. The scenery is exceptional, but wildlife rules matter: speed, distance and landing restrictions protect nesting loggerhead turtles.

Practical information

A car is the easiest access. Choose licensed wildlife-conscious boat operators, never chase turtles and verify protected-zone rules before visiting Marathonisi.
