Address

At the cliff edge on the southwest coast, past Akrotiri village

A single white lighthouse stands on the cliff at the southwest tip of the island. The road ends, you walk a short rocky path down, and people perch on the rocks with a drink, waiting for the sun. There is no applauding crowd like Oia, but there is plenty of wind. The sky often turns violet 10-15 minutes after the sun is gone, so don't leave right away. The lighthouse is still in service, so you can't go inside.
