Gerogompos Lighthouse 0980
Gerogampos lighthouse was built by British engineers and was lit for the first time in 1906 using oil as source of energy. The structure consists of a round cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery attached to the seaward side of a 1-story keeper's house. The entire lighthouse was painted white, except for the lantern dome which was gray. During World War II, the light was extinguished. The lighthouse was destroyed by retreating German troops shortly before the end of the war.
The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1947 to its original form, and started operating again in 1955, with oil as its energy source. In 1979 the oil engines were replaced and the lighthouse began operating as an automated torch with a characteristic two white flashes every 15 seconds and a light range of 24 nautical miles.
The round tower is made from concrete. It has a diameter of 2.5 meters and is 13 meters height. The ground floor consists of a corridor (hall), three bedrooms, a kitchen and a WC with shower. The total covered area is 172m². The lighthouse is located on a promontory at the southwestern tip of Kefallonia, about 12 km (7.5 mi) west of Lixouri.
Gerogampos lighthouse is one of the most famous attractions of the Paliki Penisnula. It is accessible via a paved road (about 12.5 km) starting from the port of Lixouri. The last 2.000 meters leading to the lighthouse entrance is unpaved. The site is open but the tower is closed to the public. The place is ideal for seeing the sunset and the lighthouse itself is amazing. Definitely worth a visit if you are keen on lighthouses or just want to enjoy a lovely sunset. On the way to the lighthouse, there a some beautiful beaches to stop and swim.
