About Mytilíni Lighthouse
Also known as: Mytilíni (Ákra Kástro)
The Mytilíni lighthouse, operational since 1863, is situated on a promontory about 1.2 kilometers northeast of the Mytilini waterfront. The current mast, mounted on a single-story concrete equipment building, was established in 2007. This structure stands 6 meters tall, with its light positioned at a focal height of 20 meters. It emits a white flash every 14 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The lighthouse's nearest port is Mytilene, located 0.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This light, established in 1863 and updated in 2007, marks the approach to Mytilini's waterfront and port, aiding vessels navigating this section of the Northern Aegean.
