Unique lighthouse at the tip of the caldera. We we're told by our host that this was the best place to view the santorini sunset because it is not as crowded as fira and oia but just as magestic. It was super windy the day we went but still beautiful. Lots of tourists visit here for the sunset, other than that there isn't much to see at the lighthouse

    The Acrotilli Lighthouse at the southwestmost tip of Santorini Island is the best sunset shooting location in Santorini because the crowds are much less than Oia and Ferra, and there is no obstacle in front of it. It is really full of touch to see the sunset falling directly under the Aegean Sea. But the traffic to the Acrotilli lighthouse is not so convenient, unless renting a car, there is not much way to get there by bus, this is the only minor drawback

    The lighthouse has been guarded on Santorini Island for nearly a hundred years, and from a distance it looks like a church. The green dome will shine brightly at night. Guided by the safe navigation of the ships at sea, it is definitely a landmark on Santorini Island and it is worth to visit.

    The Santorini Lighthouse is a 200-year-old building on the west coast of Santorini. The lighthouse stands on the high ground of the promontory, giving the ships to and from this sea, standing above the lighthouse and looking at the Atlantic Ocean, really feel the greatness of nature, and the heart is widened.

    Lighthouse is a high tower building, installed lighting equipment on the top of the tower, the location should be prominent, and pay attention to its should have a specific building shape, easy to distinguish by ships, and become one of the highest points in the port. Because the surface of the earth is a curved surface, the tower must have a sufficient height, so that the light can be seen by the long-range ship, the general sight distance is 15-25 nautical miles; but the light should not be too high, so as not to be sheltered by the clouds and mists on the high places. Depending on the size and location of the lighthouse, the lighthouse can be guarded or unguarded. Important lighthouses should be guarded. So when we take a cruise on the sea, we will see the lighthouse!

    A lighthouse is a building located on a coast, harbour or river to guide the direction of a ship. Most of the lighthouses are similar in shape to towers, and light is illuminated by a lens system at the top of the tower. Fire is often used as a light source before electricity is present. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful and outstanding lighthouses you can find in the world. The white knarrarós lighthouse was built in 1938 and is the tallest building in southern Iceland, 86 feet tall, and the whole building is built on a white pedestal surrounded by grass. The intense contrast with the surrounding colors adds a mysterious color to it. The lighthouse is still in use and emits a flash that lasts three seconds every half minute.

    Santorini is abbreviated as the Holy Island, alias Syracuse. The white-walled blue-topped church on the Aegean Sea, and the colorful sandy beach, make the Holy Island the most popular Greek island for tourists. The Holy Island is located in the south of the Aegean Sea in Greece. The lighthouse of Santorini in Crete is located at the highest point on the seaside of the Holy Island. The lighthouse itself has no highlights, but the view of the sea here is very good, you can see the magnificent coastline of the Holy Island. Of course, getting on is a more physical but happy thing, because it is so attractive!

    Santorini is abbreviated as the island of Syracuse. The white-walled blue-topped church on the Aegean Sea and the colorful sandy beach make the island the most popular Greek island for tourists. The island is located in the southern part of the Greek Aegean Sea and the north of Crete. The island consists of three islands: the main island of Holy Island, the volcanic island and Thirasia Island. This is the essence of Santorini, and every visitor to Santorini will be there. And everyone will choose to walk along this road, whether you live in Fira, Firostefani or Imerovigli can easily walk down the road and start roaming and taking pictures along the road. There are countless intersections on this road leading to various cliff hotels below, large or small, beautifully designed and cleverly laid out, requiring you to step down the steps to approach them and appreciate them. As you approach them, you also step by step approach the Aegean Sea, more closely overlooking the blue Aegean Sea and overlooking the volcanic island. It is about 3 kilometers long, and Firostefani is located in the middle of the walking path,1.5km from each side of the town. If starting from Fira, it is uphill; if starting from Imerovigli, it is downhill. At any point on the walkway, you can overlook the Aegean Sea, look out over the volcanic island and enjoy the sunset. The only difference between sunset and Oia here is that the sun falls behind the volcanic island and Oia can see the sun fall into the sea. Santorini is really beautiful!
