Overview
Sometimes you find a villa with an amazing garden and pool, sometimes you find the perfect villa interior, sometimes the most spectacular views. At Villa Keri it is really hard to say which is best as everything is just spot on! Great attention to detail has been paid to the design and décor of Villa Keri to ensure that you have a luxurious and comfortable stay. With 3 superb bedrooms, the deluxe villa sleeps 6 guests though you could accommodate another 2 on the living room sofa bed.
The grounds are stunning with multiple levels, lush lawns, ancient olive trees, children’s playground, shaded verandas, a sun terrace and a state of the art swimming pool with waterfalls, aero-massage and hydro-massage. There is also an outdoor shower. The views are absolutely breathtaking towards to beautiful bay and out to sea. The gorgeous olive trees sprinkled around the hilltop boundary compliment the glorious view. There is a very special, atmospheric, stone built outdoor dining area with built in barbecue and plenty of work surface as well as a modern canopy. The garden mood lighting just adds to the wonderful, tranquil ambience.
The interior of the villa is no less attractive. With calming, neutral colours it is both elegant and stylish. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is beautiful with a vaulted ceiling and huge glass doors with views of the garden and terrace. The superior kitchen has everything you would wish for and a useful breakfast bar. The large sofabed can sleep two additional guests. The artwork is very modern and eye-catching.
There are 3 luxury bedrooms in the is villa, each with a stunning ensuite bathroom. All of them are beautiful with queen sized beds and superior linens. They all enjoy stunning views. It would be difficult to judge which is the master!
Villa Keri really does offer a great deal to guests wanting a relaxed, luxury stay on Zakynthos.
What you should know…
- You could accommodate two extra guest if you use the sofabed in the living room
- It really is worth considering hiring a private boat for a day

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa KeriVilla Keri occupies a prime, privileged spot on the hillside overlooking the bay of Keri and Marathonissi Island, known as Turtle Island. The beach below the villa is accessible through a private footpath next to the villa. You will find friendly tavernas, cafes, shops and mini-markets in the centre of Keri, 300m away. The village is enchanting.
While staying in this stunning location you really must rent a boat to visit Turtle Island, opposite the villa. You can enjoy the beautiful, clear, turquoise water against the silver sand. If you are lucky you may see the endangered Caretta turtles that swim around the island. You could also learn to scuba dive and admire the magnificent underwater world.
Towards Laganas, Agios Sostis is a charming, quaint coastal Greek village. Like Keri, it is surrounded by beautiful countryside and was named after a 16th century church dedicated to Saint Sostis. The village has a stunning backdrop of the mountains and a delightful beach. There are some charismatic bars and restaurants on the waterfront. You can also hire a boat from Agios Sostis over to Marathonissi Island.
Laganas is one of the two main tourist hotspots on Zakynthos along with Zante Town. Kalamaki is not far behind, though it is a little more laid-back. There is a good choice of restaurants at all of these resorts. The main street of Laganas runs along the lovely beachfront to Kalamaki. The 5km beach is wonderful with fine, silvery sand and sun loungers and parasols available as well as pedalos and boat trips to catch a glimpse of the protected Caretta turtles swimming around the bay. The beaches are part of the National Marine Park. The rare Caretta turtles lay their eggs in the sands of Gerakas, Dafni, Kalamaki, Marathonisi and Sakania, east of Laganas.
Most of the houses, shops and buildings in Zante Town were rebuilt after the destructive earthquake of 1953. Solomos Square is a focal spot with many restaurants and bars and the interesting Byzantine Museum and Cultural Center. Bochali is a 2km stroll from the centre of Zante Town. The panoramic views are stunning of the pretty harbour, Argassi and the Bay of Laganas. The charming alleys are lined with traditional cafes and old houses. The castle at the top of the hill is well maintained and a popular attraction. Delicious wines can be tasted and bought at Solomos Wines distillery.The cellars are very attractive and worth a visit.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren will absolutely love this villa. Not only do they have a small playground area in the garden, the swimming pool is absolutely brilliant. They will have such fun under the waterfall spouts. It is easy to get into as well. Villa Keri is extremely spacious so there is plenty of room to play.
Zakynthos certainly has its share of the magical Greek beaches. One of the most famous on the island is the Shipwreck Beach. Children love visiting it on a boat trip. Other sandy beaches that are good for families are Alykes, Tsilivi, Vassilikos, Ambala, Laganas, Kalamaki and Gerakas. Gerakas is considered to be one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in the south. The shallow waters are warm and very calm for young swimmers. Older children will love the cliffs and beaches at Porto Limnionas where some climbing is needed to reach the beach, Porta Roxa and Porta Vromi.
The coastline of the island is rocky in many places and there are many caves. The best-known caves are the ‘Blue Caves’. Marathonissi Island is a must visit. The small islet, opposite the villa, has tropical beaches and sea caves just outside Keri Beach. You can either rent your own boat or take an organised trip where you will be invited to swim and snorkel too. One of the beaches on Marathonissi is a favourite turtle-nesting spot. Besides turtles, you may also see dolphins in the waters of Zakynthos.
If you want a break from the beaches, you may like a day at a waterpark. There are two on the island, Tsilivi Water Park and Zakynthos Water Village. This is slightly smaller and very suitable for younger children.
It is really good to explore the island with children. Giri, on the west coast is the highest village and has beautiful windmills. Kambi is a small village in the mountains where you will see one of the best sunsets on the island. If you choose not to drive yourselves, you can take an organised island tour and visit idyllic mountain villages, a traditional olive oil factory and enjoy spectacular views.
