About Zovollo Lighthouse
Also known as: Zovollo (Ákra Zóvollo)
Located on a headland about 7 kilometers west of Cape Maleas, near the Peloponnese peninsula's southeast boundary. The building consists of a square masonry foundation supporting a 4-meter round lantern, both finished in white. Its white light flashes once every 7 seconds. The light source is 13 meters above sea level, and it can be seen for 11.3 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower remains closed. The closest harbor is Agia Pelagia, 9.4 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This light serves as a navigation aid for ships in the vicinity of Cape Maleas, a location with significant maritime history. It warns vessels away from the headland, facilitating secure transit through this important sea lane.
