About Ákra Kaloteroúsa Lighthouse
Located on Donoúsa, a small island northwest of Náxos, Greece, Ákra Kaloteroúsa is a 4.5-meter round white lantern. The structure is situated at a focal height of 147 meters, providing a geographic range of 29.4 nautical miles. Its light emits three white flashes every 15 seconds. The operational lighthouse guides vessels navigating the South Aegean Sea. Access to the site is possible by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public, and the lantern is noted as being in very poor condition.
Why it matters: The Ákra Kaloteroúsa light aids navigation around Donoúsa, an island that presents a hazard off the coast of Náxos, by providing a distinctive flash pattern to help vessels avoid the island's shores.
