Hi Georgios
Thank for the video. interesting since my second husband was Greek. and through him I am a Greek Citizen, I think that is how it works.also I am America first. my husband grandfather was a Greek priest in Athens. I have pictures of him.

This page covers lighthouses of the many Greek islands of the central and eastern Aegean Sea. These islands fall into three broad groups. First, the Cyclades include a large number of smaller islands north of Crete and southeast of Athens. Second, there are the larger islands lying off the Turkish coast in the northeastern Aegean, including Lesbos, Chios, and Samos. Finally, the Dodecanese Islands include the large island of Rhodes and many smaller islands of the southeastern Aegean. Administratively, Cyclades and Dodecanese are prefectures within the periphery (region) of the South Aegean; Lesbos, Chios, and Samos are prefectures within the periphery of the North Aegean. Crete has a separate page. The Sporades, islands located in the northwestern corner of the Aegean, are included on the Northern Greece page. Kithera and Antikithera, located at the southwestern entrance to the Aegean, are included on the Southern Greece page. Faros Spathi, Sérifos, May 2008 Creative Commons photo by Dimitris Tsapelas

Lighthouses of the Southern Cyclades

Santoríni (Thera) Lighthouse Note: Southernmost of the major Cyclades, Santoríni is the shattered shell of a much larger island. The islands of the Santoríni group form a circle, the caldera rim of a volcano that exploded around 1600 BC. Inside the circle, the flooded caldera has depths of 400 m (1300 ft) and is one of the best harbors of the Mediterranean. Thera is the largest island, forming the eastern semicircle of the ring. Spectacularly beautiful, it is one of the most popular destinations of the Aegean islands. The permanent population is about 14,000. * Akrotíri 1892. Active; focal plane 100 m (328 ft); white flash every 10 s. 10 m (33 ft) square cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story stone keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white with unpainted stone trim; lantern painted white with a green dome. JenniKate Wallace's photo is at right, Trabas has a closeup photo, Wikipedia has a fine photo by Klearchos Kapoutsis, a good 2007 photo is available, and Google has a satellite view. Nicely refurbished, this is one of the best known and most visited lighthouses of the Aegean. The lighthouse was automated in 1988. Located on Ákra Akrotíri, the southern tip of Santoríni. Accessible by road. Site open, tower closed. ARLHS GRE-039; Admiralty E4266; NGA 15952.
