About Southeast İstanbul Lighthouses Lighthouse
This cylindrical steel lighthouse stands 9 meters tall, with its light positioned 12 meters above sea level. It is painted white with a single narrow red horizontal band and emits a red flash every five seconds. The structure, described as a round barbell-shaped metal tower, has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
