About Arkítsa Lighthouse
Constructed in 1908, the Arkítsa lighthouse is a cylindrical stone tower with white trim, standing 15 meters tall. It rises from a square, one-story keeper's house. The lighthouse emits a white light with two flashes every 5 seconds. Its focal height is also 15 meters, providing a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. The structure is situated on Ákra Arkítsa, a cape that extends into the Evvoikós Kolpós, near the town of Arkítsa. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns mariners of the sharp Ákra Arkítsa cape, aiding navigation in the Evvoikós Kolpós.
