It was destroyed by the Germans during the Second World War and rebuilt in 1946. From then until 1986 it was “lit” with oil and when it was automated it was turned into a solar lighthouse. Its characteristic was the three white flashes every 20 seconds and a flare of 17 nm. The area is rocky and inaccessible by land. To the east of the lighthouse is the historic monastery of Agia Anna.
