About Ágios Fokás Lighthouse
Located on a promontory that shelters the harbor of Páros, the Ágios Fokás lighthouse was first lit in 1867. The current operational structure is a 6-meter square skeletal tower painted white, standing next to the ruins of the original lighthouse. This replacement light was established to improve navigational assistance. Its focal height is 11 meters, and it emits a white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port, Paros, with the site open to visitors but the tower closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the promontory that shelters the island's main harbor, ensuring safe passage for ships entering the busy shipping lane.
