One of the oldest lighthouses of the Black Sea. It flies 77 meters above the island that closes Amasra to the waves and wind of the Black Sea. It was built in 1863. The 3 meter short height of the tower, which is adjacent to the lodging building where the lighthouse sits, is insignificant because it overlooks the Black Sea.

Ahmet Demirci continues to work as the fourth generation at the Amasra lighthouse. Its lens is gigantic and works as a wind-up. The weight, which is pulled up by being installed, makes the lantern crystal rotate as it goes down. It needs to be installed several times a night. The lighthouse, which used to be illuminated by burning gas and was made electrically operated in the 1980s, is still operated with the old method when the electricity is cut off.
