Lighthouses of Greece

BROWSE BY SUBJECT

LIGHTHOUSES OF GREECE

With thousands of islands adrift in cerulean waters and a long, labyrinthine coastline, Greeks have always traveled liquid highways. They built the world’s first documented lighthouse at the Mediterranean port of Alexandria more than two-thousand years ago, and since that time countless sentinels have risen and fallen on Greek shores. Weather, warfare, erosion, and earthquakes have reduced some to rubble, but more than 100 traditional stone lighthouses still stand in Greece today—old sentries keeping watch over every vessel, large or small, from freighters and tankers and cruise ships to fishermen and ferries. Their romance, beauty, and history are captured in this handy guidebook. Beguiling images, fascinating histories, and helpful travel information will guide you to these beloved seamarks in the land of Hellene.

“Lighthouses of Greece is an important addition to our knowledge of lighthouses worldwide. The authors have done an extraordinary job of documenting the history of Greek lighthouses in general, as well as providing background information on each of the 110 featured lighthouses. The book is thoroughly researched and skillfully written in a way that makes it both readable and entertaining. It is well worth inclusion in the library of anyone with an interest in Greece, lighthouses or history.”
