Porto Limnionas is a narrow, rocky inlet on the western coast of Zakynthos. The site features a varied topography of walls, overhangs, small caves, and boulder-strewn seabeds. Depths range from 2 to 15 metres, with visibility typically between 10 and 25 metres. Snorkellers should be aware of freshwater springs within the caves, which create distinct layers of water with varying salinity and temperature. Entry is from the shore, and the site is suited for intermediate snorkellers due to the overhead environment and depth. Be mindful of boat traffic in the area. Facilities including parking, toilets, changing rooms, and a cafe are available nearby.
