About Zourvas Lighthouse
Also known as: Zourvas (Zurva)
This stone lighthouse, built in 1946, stands 9 meters tall on the eastern tip of Hydra. Its cylindrical tower, featuring white trim, rises from a single-story keeper's cottage. The current structure is a replica of the original station established in 1883, which was destroyed by German troops during World War II. The light emits a white flash every 20 seconds, with a focal height of 36 meters, offering a geographic range of 16.4 nautical miles. Its remote location makes it inaccessible to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides maritime traffic around the easternmost point of Hydra, a significant navigational marker in the Aegean. Its rebuilding after wartime destruction highlights the resilience of maritime infrastructure.
