It is the lighthouse situated at the northernmost point of the island, cape Spathi. It was built under the British rule and is the largest lighthouse built by the British in Greece. It was constructed in 1857 and has a height of 25 meters. Adjacent to the lighthouse is the “simatorio” or “simatologio” (signal-house) that would inform passing ships with the use of flags. Once you get all the necessary instructions and information at the village of Karavas, it is a place worth visiting. Go up the lighthouse and take a look at the view- it is stunning.
