About Megalonísi Lighthouse
Also known as: Megalonísi (Sígri, Meganísi)
The Megalonísi Lighthouse, a 15-meter cylindrical concrete tower, was first lit in 1947. It stands 53 meters above sea level, emitting a white flash every 15 seconds. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, connected to a single-story concrete keeper's house. Located 0.8 kilometers from Sigrion, this operational lighthouse guides vessels through the Northern Aegean. Its white concrete construction reflects a post-war approach to maritime safety infrastructure in the region.
Why it matters: Established in 1947, the lighthouse modernized maritime safety for the region's shipping routes. Its light provides reliable navigation through the complex island passages of the Greek archipelago.
