Zakynthos is a very small Greek island, only 25 km long. which is located in the Ionian Sea. The tiny size and the fact that in 1953 a strong earthquake destroyed almost all historical buildings scare away many tourists who fear that there is nothing to do and nothing to see in Zakynthos. It's not.

One of the largest state flags in the world is located on Zakynthos.

In 2007, the architect Stamatis Liveris decided that he needed to cheer up the Greeks and installed a fifty-meter mast on his site, on which a giant Greek flag now flutters. At that time it was the largest flag in the world. It seems to have been entered into the Guinness Book of Records. It is so large that Liveris even had to demolish some of the buildings on the site. But it was worth it. He suppresses. He admires.

When you photograph it, don't repeat my mistake. My photos are not to scale. Well, flag and flag. The size is not clear.


And it is 688 sq. meters!!! ! It is necessary to put a car or a person next to it, which would be understandable. This photo is not mine, but the size is visible better.

He stands next to the hut. But still the photo is not impressive. This is a must see.

Location - near the village of Keri. Southeast of the island.
