Kızılada Feneri

The white cylindrical masonry tower with red horizontal stripes reaches 13 meters in height and includes a single-story keeper's residence at its base.

French engineers constructed this maritime navigation structure in 1910 to prevent shipwrecks and guide vessels through the Gulf of Fethiye's waters.

The lighthouse keeper Mustafa Pehlivan gained recognition for his role in rescuing survivors from an Air France aircraft accident near the island in 1953.

The lighthouse emits white flashes every 5 seconds from a height of 32 meters, providing navigation guidance visible up to 15 nautical miles at sea.

Since 2007, the lighthouse complex includes a seafood restaurant and a nine-room hostel, operating under the Kizilada Tourism Corporation's management.
