A trip along the southwest coast of Zakynthos

We start our tour of the west coast in the southernmost town of the island of Zakynthos in Keri (13km from Laganas). Outside this main street, there are narrow streets that you can barely pass

Keri lies on a plateau topped by cliffs. The surroundings of the city are quite green, wooded. There is only a small square in the town itself and a large church nearby.

There are basically only two reasons to go to Keri – either to watch the sunset or to go to the view of the beautiful rocks of Mizithres

After a tour of Keri, we will move 8 kilometers north to the town of Agalas, from where we will head to the Damianos Cave and then to the other beautiful cliffs of Plakaki.

From Agalas, a narrow road descends through a semi-deserted landscape to the sea. The first view from a height of 150 meters above sea level is worth it

From the viewpoint you can already see a small parking lot, where the road ends.

From the parking lot it is only a few meters to a beautiful view

The biggest attraction in this place are the rocks of Plakaki. From the parking lot you can walk along the footpath to the sea, where you can see the frequent karst caves excavated by the sea.

From Plakaki we return to the main road and continue north to the historic village of Kiliomenos. The village lies at the crossroads, so the roads stop here. The locals therefore offer souvenirs and homemade products such as cheese, wine and olive oil

There is a beautiful view from the hill above the village

From Kiliomenos it is only six kilometers to the town of Agios Leon. From here, five kilometers of traditional narrow roads lead directly to the sea. At the end there is an unexpectedly large parking lot, but also an unexpectedly lot of people. Porto Limnionas is a bathing place, but you will definitely not find any beach here.

Snorkeling enthusiasts can swim in the local cave

From the top, Porto Limnionas looks like a small fjord set in limestone rocks
