Keri Zante Island in Zakynthos - Villa Bella Vista Studios Apartments

Location - Zakynthos Keri Lake

Keri Lake is a picturesque resort on the south western coast of Zakynthos and is the perfect spot to enjoy a traditional Greek Island holiday away from commercialised resorts with their noisy bars and nightclubs.

Keri Lake, (Limni Keriou in Greek) is a small, tranquil resort tucked away on the end of Laganas Bay. Surrounded by an abundance of ancient olive groves and overlooked by pine-covered rolling hills, Keri Lake is in the perfect natural location for a relaxing and authentic Greek island holiday. A few minutes into the hills is the traditional and diminutive village of Keri - a place of stunning views and outstanding, home-grown hospitality. So unlike other Zakynthian resorts with large hotels and long commercialised strips of bars and clubs, Keri Lake is definitely for the more discerning holidaymaker.

Though a small resort, Keri Lake offers its holidaymakers the essential facilities necessary to make their holiday comfortable. On the narrow main road leading from the gnarly olive groves to the beach, there are a number of shops, supermarkets, a lively bar (the Rock Cafe), tavernas and car/moped hire centres. In keeping with the resort, these are all very small and personal.

The waterfront with its narrow, part sandy, part pebbly beach and small fishing harbour attracts visitors, including many local families, who stop either to have a swim in the blue safe waters of Keri Lake or rent a little boat to explore the area. The tiny fishing harbour is a well-known starting point for boat trips to places like Keri Caves (some of the most interesting rock formations on the island), Marathonisi Island (Turtle Island) and turtle spotting trips in Laganas Bay. Scuba-diving in the turquoise waters around Keri is also available.

There are plenty activities for visitors to partake in including cycling, walking, scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing and canoeing. For those who want a slightly less energetic time, it's the perfect place for photography, painting, bird watching and of course snorkeling.
