Limni Makri is a tranquil and picturesque area located just a short distance from the bustling resort town of Laganas on the southern coast of Zakynthos (Zante) island. This serene neighborhood offers a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for visitors who want to relax and unwind, away from the more crowded tourist spots.
The nearby Laganas Beach is a beautiful stretch of golden sand with calm, shallow waters, ideal for swimming, lounging by the shore, or simply enjoying the stunning surroundings. Its gentle waters make it especially popular with families, as it provides a safe and enjoyable environment for young children to play and splash around.
Laganas Beach is also renowned for being one of the nesting sites of the endangered Caretta-Caretta turtles, which lay their eggs on the beach each summer. Because of this, Laganas Beach is part of the National Maritime Park of Zakynthos, a protected area dedicated to preserving the natural habitat of these incredible creatures.
With its peaceful vibe, natural beauty, and proximity to the vibrant Laganas town, Limni Makri offers the best of both worlds – a quiet retreat with easy access to the lively attractions and activities of Zakynthos. Whether you’re looking to relax by the beach, explore local culture, or enjoy the island's natural wonders, Limni Makri provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable holiday.
