Kiliomenos Village - Zante Zakynthos Greece
Kiliomeno is a rural mountain village, sometimes known as Agios Nikolaos after a beautiful old church of the same name located here. Some houses in the village date from the 16th Century after managing to survive the strong 1953 earthquake.
The church of Agios Nikolaos has a seperate bell tower dating from 1893 with fine detailed stone carvings. Kiliomeno is renowned on the island for its stone architecture and many of the houses here have been built in the traditional Zakynthian way, using local stone from nearby quarries.
This quaint village is only 16 km from Zante Town and is easily reached by car. The area surrounding Kiliomeno is rich with vegetation, especially full of pine and cypress trees and numerous varieties of colourful flowers, making it the ideal spot for walks or even just to drive through to enjoy the varied landscape.
A garden with 42 different types of Orchids can be found on the road between this village and Lagopodo.
