About Arnavutköy (Akıntı Burnu) Lighthouse
This green lighthouse stands 9 meters tall on a headland in the Arnavutköy neighborhood, west of the Bosporus. Its fiberglass tower, shaped like a round hourglass with a gallery, is white with a single narrow green horizontal band. Situated halfway between the Boğaziçi and Sultan Mehmet bridges, it emits a green flash every 3 seconds. The light has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides southbound vessels through the busy Bosporus waterway, helping them navigate the channel safely.
