As the name suggests, this bay on the north side of Keri Coast looks like a swimming pool because of its light blue and translucent waters.
There are so many wonderfully colored waters in Zakynthos, but this place gets the top prize. Diving is a must and so are the beach and the grottos. The best way to get there is leaving from Limni Keri. Do not miss it if you are in the area.
