A Historic Beacon Guarding Kythira's Southern Coast
Perched above the entrance to the picturesque Kapsali Bay, Kapsali Lighthouse is one of the oldest and most scenic lighthouses in Kythera. Built by the British in 1853, during the period when the island formed part of the British Protectorate of the Ionian Islands, it became part of the Greek Lighthouse Network after the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece in 1864.
Like many Greek lighthouses, Kapsali Lighthouse was extinguished during the Second World War before returning to service in 1945 as part of the restoration of Greece's lighthouse network. Over the decades, it evolved from an oil-powered beacon to an automated acetylene light and, since 1985, has operated using solar power. The complex includes the former lighthouse keeper's residence and a charming circular stone tower overlooking the sea.
The lighthouse occupies a privileged position on a small hill at the eastern side of Kapsali Harbour. A short, easy footpath of around 50 metres leads from the harbour to the site, making it an effortless stop for visitors exploring southern Kythera.
Today, Kapsali Lighthouse is one of the island's most rewarding viewpoints. From here, you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramas over Kapsali Beach, the crystal-clear waters of the bay, the imposing Castle of Chora, and the endless blue of the Mediterranean. Whether you're interested in maritime history, photography, or simply searching for one of the best sunset spots in Kythera, this historic lighthouse is well worth adding to your itinerary.
