This is the only lighthouse ive seen that doesn't even look like a lighthouse! It was originally built in 1828 by a British administrator named Charles Napier. The lighthouse was completely destroyed during an earthquake that ravaged the island back in the 1950’s but was rebuilt in the 1960’s. I love how there's so much history behind every building in Greece :)

This is such a cool landmark. I would love to see it some day. Interesting how uniquely it is shaped, and the fact that it is a lighthouse makes it even cooler.
