The lighthouse of Cape Ducato is at the very end of the island. The beautiful view from there you have to fight hard, because it is only 330m downhill, which you have to go back up. As so often in such cases, one drives the same way, which then draws something, back and forth. There is a monastery on the way. It is proven, but does not offer so much charm. Unfortunately, the direct route to the lighthouse is denied by a reference to the Hellenic Navy. Pity! Still there are enough photos and good prospects.
