Keri Village

On the green hills, only 20 kilometres from Zakynthos town and the airport and a few kilometres away from Keri Lake, the road snakes its way up to the village of Keri. One of the most beautiful villages on the island and established since ancient times, it is still inhabited by “Real” Greeks who do not see visitors just as foreign currency but as their guests. In Keri, the Greek word Filoxenia – hospitality is unlike other tourist resorts, far from a forgotten sentiment.

The village’s narrow streets (where you can buy intricate handmade embroidery made by the older villagers) still have a few houses which survived the destructive earthquake of 1953 and nowadays are outstanding showpieces of local architecture. Another famous sight of Keri is its Lighthouse standing some 100 meters above sea level. For more than 100 years it has guided ships passing on their way to the western Mediterranean. The lighthouse is an ideal place for romantic evenings, watching the gorgeous colours of the sunset reflect on the sea below.

The area of Keri Village with the dramatic views from its Cape and Lighthouse, offer the visitor the perfect and now increasingly rare combination of centuries-long tradition and stunning beauty. From Greek Nights – with traditional dancing and cuisine to dramatic views and picturesque sunsets, Keri Village is as true slice of the traditional Greek island experience.
