closed. ARLHS GRE-095; Admiralty E4252; NGA 15920.

Folégandros and Íos Lighthouses
Note: Folégandros is about 25 km (15 mi) southeast of Mílos; it has a permanent population of about 800. Íos is a larger island, about 18 km (11 mi) long and 10km (6 mi) wide, north of Santoríni and south of Páros and Náxos; it has a population of about 1800 and is fairly well known as a tourist destination.
* Asprópunta (Folégandros)
1919. Active; focal plane 70 m (230 ft); three white flashes every 30 s. 11 m (36 ft) round masonry tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white; lantern dome painted green. A 2008 closeup is available, and Maria Theofanopoulou also has a photo, but Google's distant satellite view does not show the lighthouse. Located on the southwest coast of the Folégandros about 3 km (2 mi) west of Áno Meriá. Accessible by road. Site open, tower closed. ARLHS GRE-044; Admiralty E4256; NGA 15932.
Íos (Ákra Fanari)
1892. Inactive. Approx. 6 m (20 ft) square cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery, rising from a small 1-story stone keeper's house. The lighthouse is unpainted; lantern painted white with a green dome. The active light (focal plane 33 m (108 ft); white flash ever 4 s) is on a short skeletal tower. Rachel Lake's photo is at right, Ryan Tomko has a closeup, another photo is available, and Google has an indistinct satellite view. Íos has a beautiful natural harbor; in a panoramic photo of the bay the lighthouse can be seen at the end of the promontory on the far side of the harbor entrance. Near the bottom of his home page, Savas writes that "in the island of Íos the lighthouse was restored and remains open to the public with the initiative of the local authorities." However, tourist sites for Íos do not mention the lighthouse as an attraction. Located on Ákra Fanari, on the west side of the Íos harbor entrance. Site status unknown. Admiralty E4262; NGA 15944.
