Property Description
On the south-west coast of Zakynthos, above the bay at Keri, Ambari is a two-storey stone villa with a wide flagstone terrace wrapping the ground floor on two sides. The house faces west, the open water stretching to a steep forested headland that rises cleanly from the sea.
The approach arrives at a broad irregular-flagged terrace, warm underfoot by mid-morning. Lemon trees in fruit stand at the southern edge. A stone barbecue with two arched openings and a chimney sits at the upper level of the grounds, the wooded hillside directly behind it, and a separate flagstone seating area occupies the quieter corner beyond.
Lemons heavy on the branch, warm from the sun, fragrant before they are touched.
The ground floor opens as a combined living and dining space. The living room has a fireplace with a stone surround; sliding glass along the seaward face opens directly onto the terrace, and from the sofa the pool and the headland beyond are both in the same line of sight. The kitchen runs separately but adjacent — dark lower cabinetry, cream upper cabinets, a stone splashback, and a long solid timber dining table.
The pool sits at the front of the property, framed by trees on both sides, the sea and the headland visible beyond.
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged across the two floors. One bedroom opens onto a timber-decked terrace with a glass balustrade and green shutters; the wooded hillside fills the view behind, the pool lies directly below, and in the early morning, before the heat sets in, the shutters throw bands of shadow across the deck.
Keri beach lies 1.3 km from the house; Zakynthos town and the island’s broader coast are within easy reach.
This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program .

Zakynthos (Zante) is one of the Ionian Islands. It is reachable by air (the flight duration is 50 minutes from The Athens International Airport) and by sea (ferryboats from Kyllini, Peloponnese – period of travel less than 2 hours). Kyllini is located 80 kilometres south of the port of Patra, which links the Peloponnese to Italy.
Due to its diverse underwater environment, Zakynthos and, especially, the region “Keri” are considered paradises for those who love scuba diving, as they offer the chance to explore caverns and tunnels. Furthermore, lovers of marine life are attracted to the island to see the beach of Laganas Gulf, where sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach. Laganas Beach is a protected area and belongs to the National Marine Park of Zakynthos.
Zakynthos is the birthplace of many intellectuals, among them Dionysios Solomos, the Greek poet who wrote the “Hymn to Liberty” that became the national anthem. Also, the island has a long musical tradition of serenade love songs sung by men, expressing their feelings under the moonlight.
In ancient times, Zakynthos was part of Odysseus’s Kingdom, while during contemporary history the island incurred many years of Venetian, French and British domination until 1864 when it was united with Greece. The island’s history interweaves with earthquakes, so the building regulations are stringent.
The island’s patron saint, Saint Dionysios, is considered a remarkable example of forgiveness as, according to tradition, he saved the murder of his beloved brother. His body remains intact and rests in the church of Saint Dionysios in the capital of the island.
