Discover more about Myzithres
Myzithres, often referred to as the 'Mizithres Rocks,' are a pair of majestic, white limestone cliffs rising dramatically from the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea, off the southwestern coast of Zakynthos. Situated near the village of Keri, these impressive formations have become one of the island's most photographed and admired landmarks.Originally known as the Myzithres Islands, a strip of sea once separated the two rocks until an earthquake in 2018 caused part of the rock to collapse, creating a small sandy beach at the base of the cliffs. This geological event added to the allure of Myzithres, making it a unique destination. The rocks derive their name from 'Myzithra,' a local cheese produced in Zakynthos, owing to their similar conical shape.Visitors can admire Myzithres from various vantage points. The most popular is from the clifftop viewpoints near Keri, offering panoramic vistas of the rocks and the surrounding sea. For a closer perspective, boat tours are available, allowing you to explore the coastline, swim in secluded coves, and marvel at the rock formations from the water. Some tours also include stops at the nearby Keri Caves, enhancing the experience.The Keri Lighthouse, located near the cliffs, provides another excellent viewpoint.
