Paphos, the south-west of Cyprus
The Paphos Lighthouse, on a peninsula known as Paphos point extending into the Mediterranean Sea. It was built in 1888 when Cyprus was under British administration. The 20 metres high whitewashed masonry tower has a single gallery and lantern. Enclosing the tower is a compound containing the keeper’s house and outbuildings. With a focal height of 36 metres above the sea, its light can be seen for 17 nautical miles and consists of a long flash of white light every fifteen seconds.
