Prominent 23m-high lighthouse built in 1873 with high-quality marble from the area of Tainaro in south Mani peninsula. Ideal place for a lighthouse at the end of this island straight out in front of the town. The island is meanwhile connected to the mainland with a road but remains forested and protected from development, except for a museum and a church.

Amazing that this peninsula was not developed. The pine forest fits wonderfully to the overall picture.
