Location & Light Range
About Gramvoúsa Lighthouse
A four-meter-high white metal beacon with a red horizontal band stands on a masonry base at the northwestern tip of Agria Gramvoúsa, one of a pair of islands off Crete's northwest coast. First lit in 1874, the beacon emits a red light, flashing once every 10 seconds. This light's focal plane reaches an elevation of 108 meters, providing a geographic range of 25.7 nautical miles. The structure's simple design contrasts with hints of its past, potentially including the foundation of a former keeper's dwelling.
Why it matters: The light is important for guiding vessels around the Gramvoúsa islands, a potentially hazardous headland off the northwestern tip of Crete.
