Tourlitis Lighthouse, Lighthouse at port entrance in Chora, Andros, Greece
The Tourlitis Lighthouse rises from the sea on a stone spire formation at the entrance of Chora port, reaching a height of 7 meters.
Built in 1887 and first lit in 1897, the original structure fell to German bombardment in 1943 before its reconstruction by the Goulandris family in 1996.
The lighthouse appears on Greek postal stamps and stands as a testament to the maritime heritage of Andros, a major shipping center in the Aegean Sea.
The automated beacon system operates without human supervision and projects light visible for 11 nautical miles, guiding vessels approaching the Andros port.
This lighthouse distinguishes itself as the sole European maritime beacon constructed directly on a natural rock formation in the middle of the sea.
