About Piraziz Burnu Lighthouse
The Piraziz Burnu lighthouse, first lit in 1975, is a 10-meter tall metal tower located on a bluff above the harbor of Piraziz. Its white cylindrical structure features a narrow black horizontal band. The light emits a white flash every 3 seconds, with a focal height of 30 meters, providing a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse was relocated from its original position due to a new building obstructing its beam. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels into Piraziz harbor and along the coast between Ordu and Giresun Provinces.
