About Griá Lighthouse
Griá Lighthouse, active since 1914, features a 10-meter tall, round stone tower with a lantern and gallery. Adjacent to the tower is a single-level stone dwelling for the keeper. The light source is positioned 86 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 23.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on a headland on Andros' northern coast. Visitors can access the site, but entry into the tower is restricted. The nearest harbor, Andros, lies 3.4 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the northern approaches to Andros, assisting vessels navigating the island's northern tip.
