Akrotiri lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Akrotiri, Santorini, Greece.
The square-shaped tower of Akrotiri Lighthouse rises 10 meters above a stone warden's house on the southwestern cliffs of Santorini island.
Constructed in 1892 by a French trading company, this lighthouse operated on petrol until 1988 when it switched to electrical power systems.
The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Greece, standing near archaeological sites containing artifacts from ancient Minoan civilization.
Located 5 kilometers from Akrotiri village, visitors need to arrange private transportation as no direct public transit connects to the lighthouse.
The lighthouse emits white light signals every 20 seconds, guiding vessels through the Aegean Sea while offering views of the Mediterranean sunset.
