Explore Repi, a Century-Old Stone Beacon in the Sporades
Perched on the tiny uninhabited islet of Repi between Skiathos and Skopelos, Repi Lighthouse is one of the hidden maritime landmarks of the Sporades Islands. Standing on the western side of the Skiathos–Skopelos channel, it has guided ships safely through these waters for more than a century.
Built in 1914, the lighthouse originally operated with an oil-powered beacon before being restored after World War II, when it resumed service as part of the reconstruction of the Greek Lighthouse Network. It was electrified in 1989 and fully converted to solar power in 1995. Today, its distinctive white beacon, with a red sector marking nearby hazards, continues to safeguard vessels navigating the northern Aegean.
The lighthouse complex includes the former lighthouse keepers' residence and a 15.1-metre circular stone tower rising to a focal height of 39 metres above sea level. Like all historic Greek lighthouses, it is maintained by the Hellenic Navy Lighthouse Service.
Visiting Repi Lighthouse
Repi Island can only be reached by private boat or organised boat excursion, and landings are possible only when sea conditions are calm. The islet, together with nearby Arkos Islet, is a popular stop on day cruises departing from Skiathos and Skopelos. Visitors often combine a visit to the lighthouse with a swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters that have made the Sporades famous.
Although remote, Repi Lighthouse is one of the region's most rewarding hidden attractions, offering spectacular sea views, excellent photo opportunities, and a glimpse into Greece's rich maritime heritage.
