About Íos Lighthouse
Also known as: Íos (Ákra Fanari)
The lighthouse on Íos, constructed in 1892, is a cylindrical stone tower standing 6 meters tall, painted white with a green dome. It rises from a 1-story keeper's house, with the light situated 33 meters above sea level. The light emits a single white flash every 4 seconds, visible for nearly 16 nautical miles. This structure marks the entrance to the island's natural harbor, guiding vessels in the Aegean Sea. The lighthouse has been restored and is now open for public visits.
Why it matters: The Íos lighthouse is significant for maritime traffic entering and exiting the island's natural harbor. Its unique design, with the tower rising directly from a small keeper's house, offers a distinctive architectural element.
