Koghi Lighthouse
Koghi Lighthouse on Salamina Island, built in 1901, is a historic landmark with a 7.5-meter-high tower and a focal plane height of 34 meters. The lighthouse features a circular tower rising from a one-story stone keeper’s house, topped with a lantern dome. During World War II, the light was extinguished and remained inactive until 1948, when new equipment was installed and the lighthouse became automated.
In the 1980s, the lighthouse faced abandonment and deterioration, but thanks to restoration efforts by the Hellenic Navy and the Ministry of Culture, it was saved and now stands in excellent condition.
Located at the southernmost tip of Salamina Island, between Peristeria and Kolones, the lighthouse is accessible via a dirt track. In 2002, it was declared a Protected Historical Monument due to its impressive architecture. A key symbol of Greece's naval heritage, Koghi Lighthouse is one of the island’s top attractions, with one of the best beaches hidden beneath it, offering stunning views and a peaceful retreat.
