About Nafpaktos Lighthouse
Also known as: Nafpaktos (Naupactus)
The Nafpaktos lighthouse, constructed in 1909, stands on the east side of the harbor entrance at Nafpaktos. This 6-meter stone tower, with a pyramidal top, is built directly onto the wall of an ancient fortification that once defended the port. Its focal plane reaches 13 meters above the water, emitting a green flash every 2 seconds. The lighthouse provides a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. While the tower is closed to the public, the site remains accessible.
Why it matters: This light marks the entrance to the historic Nafpaktos harbor, a key point for local fishing and recreational vessels.
