Keri Caves

Set on the south-facing white cliffs of Cape Marathia, the southernmost tip of Zakynthos, the site opens onto the open Ionian to the south and southwest. The island mass shelters it from the N-NW Maestro/Maestrale winds, but it is fully exposed to the warm S-SE Scirocco (the longest-fetch wind in the basin) and to SW Libeccio swell, which can build surge inside the caverns and wrap current around the point. Being in the Ionian rather than the Aegean, the site sees no Meltemi.
