At one with nature
Keri is the place to be for wildlife lovers. The beach is made up of both sand and pebbles and is lapped by twinkling turquoise waters. The area is famous as a place to spot turtles too, so be sure to keep your camera close to hand; it’ll be shell-fies aplenty!
A traditional retreat
