Worth seeing: the Mizithres rock formation, from the Keri “Lighthouse” Restaurant viewpoint (Zakynthos)
There is plenty to see on Zakynthos, all the more so from the Keri “Lighthouse” Restaurant. From here you have an excellent view of the impressive Mizithres rock formation. One of the finest viewpoints there is.
Zante, known as Zakynthos, is a sunny island in Greece. The sky there is almost always blue and the sea joins in cheerfully. The Ionian Sea , to be precise, which comes in fifty shades of blue.
Along the coastline of Zakynthos, or Zante, that makes for wonderful scenes above all. There are several sights.
Zakynthos sights: the beauty of Mizithres
The most famous sight is Navagio, Shipwreck Beach, in the north. But the southern part of the island has a photogenic treasure of its own to offer: Mizithres.
This is the name of a remarkable rock formation near Keri. A grand pinnacle, accompanied by a smaller one. Together the Mizithres Rocks make for a captivating spectacle of nature.
The Keri “Lighthouse” Restaurant viewpoint
Which brings us to the Keri “Lighthouse” Restaurant. A fantastic location for these people, because as a tourist you cannot avoid it. Unless you want to see Mizithres only from above, which is possible.
In that case turn left onto the rocky mountain path just before the restaurant. Some 800 metres further on you can look over the edge, taking care, as there is a risk of falling. Really there is little else for it but a visit to the restaurant for the other perspective. Curiosity is too strong, and so is the visual reward.
- Once seated you enjoy food and drink in a unique setting. We had a high-quality three-course dinner here, with the best view imaginable.
With Mizithres as an improbable backdrop, a dinner like that quickly takes on something mythical. And yet all of it is real. As real as the Oreo Nutella Cheesecake (love it or hate it). If you love it, this is the best dessert ever.
So all your senses are thoroughly spoilt. All in all a recommended epilogue to your sun holiday on Zakynthos.
