About Akradhiá Lighthouse
Also known as: Akradhiá (Akradia, Mílos)
The Akradhiá Lighthouse, built in 1892, is a 7-meter cylindrical stone tower with a gray metallic roof and a lantern. It stands on a small island about 3 km northwest of the town of Mílos, guiding ships approaching the island's sheltered bay. The structure includes a square base, a gallery, and an attached one-story keeper's house. Its white light flashes every 8 seconds, with a geographic range of 23.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into the sheltered bay of Mílos, a significant entry point for maritime traffic.
