Greece's continental boundaries are shaped like an inverted "U". This page covers those lights in the Aegean sea which is the inside of the "U". You can almost always click on the light to go to it's specific (larger resolution) copy. Each lighthouse is linked to (in our editorial opinion) the best reference site for that light. I would like to include directions on how to get to these lights. If you know such data, could you eMail me and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.) mailme |
