Discover more about The largest Greek flag in the World

Located near the Keri Lighthouse, the largest Greek flag in the world is a sight to behold. In March 2006, the Liveris family, aiming to attract more customers to their restaurant, decided to construct the giant flag. On May 20, 2007, it earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The flag boasts a surface area of 670 square meters (7,000 square feet) and weighs approximately 80 kilograms (176 pounds). An electric motor is required to raise it on its 50-meter (164 feet) tall steel pole. The pole itself was produced in China and shipped to Zakynthos. While other countries have since surpassed it in size, it remains the largest Greek flag. Its clifftop location offers stunning views of the blue waters and sky. Visitors can enjoy the surrounding local shops and eateries, immersing themselves in Greek culture and hospitality. Informative plaques near the site provide historical context.
