The Lighthouse In 1889, the lighthouse on the island was built by a French company. It was mounted on an iron pole, raised 40 meters above the sea level, and in good weather its light was visible for 10 miles. In 1912, the foundations for the new lighthouse, which directs the ships until today, have been laid in the northern part of the island. The lighthouse was lit for the first time on 13th June, 1914.
