Zourva Lighthouse
Perched on the remote Zouvra Cape at the eastern edge of Hydra, the Zouvra Lighthouse is one of the island’s most historic maritime beacons. Built in 1883, it originally operated on oil, emitting a white flash every two minutes with a range of 12 nautical miles. The tower stands 10 metres tall with a focal height of 36 metres.
During World War II, the lighthouse was destroyed by German forces but was fully restored and re-lit in 1946. In 1986, it was connected to the electrical grid, and since 1989 it has operated automatically, now displaying three white flashes every 20 seconds with an extended range of 17 nautical miles.
Visiting Zouvra Lighthouse
The lighthouse sits in a rugged, inaccessible area that cannot be reached on foot or by road. However, it can be admired from the sea, making it a highlight on boat trips and island-round excursions around Hydra. Its dramatic cliffside setting and sweeping views over the Aegean make it a favourite stop for photographers and sea-lovers.
The lighthouse’s original French-made optical apparatus (dating to 1864 and likely produced by Sautter–Lemonnier et Cie) is preserved today in the Hydra Museum–Archive.
Just east of the lighthouse lies the historic Monastery of Agia Anna, adding even more cultural interest to this secluded corner of the island.
