The Story Behind The Tallest Stone Beacon in the Aegean Sea
Psathoura Lighthouse is one of Greece's most remote and remarkable lighthouses. Perched on the uninhabited island of Psathoura, north of Alonissos, it is the tallest lighthouse in the Aegean Sea and one of the most iconic landmarks of the Northern Sporades.
Built by the French in 1895, the lighthouse was constructed after a devastating shipwreck highlighted the dangers of the reefs and strong currents surrounding the island. Rising from volcanic rock quarried on Psathoura itself, the impressive stone tower features a 107-step marble staircase transported from the mainland.
For decades, lighthouse keepers lived in near-total isolation, relying on local fishermen for supplies and communication. During World War II, the lighthouse was extinguished before returning to operation in 1945. It was fully automated and converted to solar power in 1987.
Today, Psathoura Lighthouse remains an important navigational landmark while attracting photographers, history enthusiasts and adventurous travellers exploring the Alonissos Marine Park. Surrounded by dramatic volcanic scenery and the deep blue waters of the Aegean, it is one of the most rewarding off-the-beaten-path destinations in the Sporades.
How to visit:
Psathoura can only be reached by boat. Seasonal excursions depart from Patitiri, the main port of Alonissos, with the journey taking approximately three hours.
