In the lovely, tranquil village of Akrotiri you can find the well-known lighthouse located on the extreme southwest part of the island, 18 kilometers away from the capital of Santorini. It is considered one of the best and most beautiful lighthouses in Cyclades. Attuned to the rest of the island, it is an admirable building with whitewashed walls standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea. It is, by all means, an idyllic setting. The Akrotiri lighthouse, which was manufactured by a French company in 1892, is among the first lighthouses in Greece. It stopped operating during World War II but started again in 1945 with a reconstruction by the Greek Navy. Originally it was powered by petrol fuel until 1988 that it became automatic. The tower above the lighthouse keeper’s house is 10 meters high and emits a luminous white light. There is no public access inside the building but you can relish it, together with a fascinating view, by sitting on its exterior stone wall or on the rocks by the sea all around. The lighthouse is easily accessible by road from Akrotiri village and the route suggests magnificent images. #Greece #Santorini #Culture #Cyclades #Trovember
This is the south /ending part of Santorini Island. Only a military Lighthouse located at this place but is a nice view that can see the north part of Santorini. The road here is narrow with limited parking. #nature
