Old lighthouse of Ermioni

The old Lighthouse of Ermioni is one of the most characteristic maritime monuments of the area. It was built in 1906 by the French factory of the Barbier brothers and was placed in the northern port of the city to guide ships and fishermen. Initially, it operated with oil, while later it was modernized with an automatic mechanism and then with solar energy. For many years, the lighthouse keepers of Ermioni played an important role, ensuring its proper functioning. The lighthouse was strongly associated with the lives and memories of the residents and was a meeting point for many generations. Today, it is considered an important element of the cultural heritage of Ermioni and reminds us of the close relationship of the place with the sea and seafaring.
