About Antíkyra Lighthouse

Also known as: Antíkyra (Antikira)

The Antíkyra lighthouse, built in 2003, is a 10-meter cylindrical concrete tower topped with a lantern and gallery. It emits a single green flash every 4 seconds from a focal height of 10 meters, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. This modern structure is located at the end of the pier, serving the port of Antikyra. The tower's white concrete construction matches its functional design. It is situated 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding local fishing boats and recreational vessels safely into Antíkyra's harbor, preventing collisions with the pier's end and clearly marking the port entrance.
