Polente Lighthouse
Polente Feneri
The lighthouse and windmill cluster at the island's westernmost tip is its most beautiful sunset spot, with views over the Aegean and the distant Greek island of Lemnos.
Polente Lighthouse stands at Polente Point, the westernmost tip of the island. Around the lighthouse is a row of white wind turbines, and the coastline here is steep and rocky. In the late afternoon, visitors ride or drive from town to watch the sun sink into the Aegean. The windmills and lighthouse make striking silhouettes, and on clear days you can see the Greek island of Lemnos. The lighthouse is about 10 km from the town center, and the route passes through vineyards. The wind here is very strong, so bring a jacket even on summer evenings.
