Patras Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse in Agios Andreas, Greece.

The white cylindrical tower with a balcony and lantern rises from a single-story structure near Saint Andrew's cathedral in Patras.

The original wooden lighthouse constructed in 1858 at Agios Nikolaos dock fell during a storm, leading to the construction of a stone version in 1878.

The lighthouse stands as a representation of Greek maritime activities, connecting the present community with the nautical traditions of the Mediterranean region.

The modern structure contains a restaurant and café on the ground floor, with free parking spaces available in the surrounding seaside park.

After demolition in 1972, the lighthouse was rebuilt in 1999 at a different location and now serves as a social gathering point rather than a navigation aid.

Location: Municipality of Patras
