Lighthouse of Patras
Φάρος της Πάτρας
A rebuilt stone lighthouse on the seafront promenade, surrounded by cafés and squares. It is a landmark spot for photos by the sea.
The Patras Lighthouse was first built in 1858. The present lighthouse was rebuilt in 1999 near St. Andrew’s Cathedral on the seafront. It has a stone tower with a red lantern room, and there is now a café inside. The seaside square and promenade around the lighthouse are where locals take evening walks, walk their dogs, and watch the sunset. You can follow the coast all the way to St. Andrew’s Cathedral. It is free to visit, and the lighthouse is lit at night.
