★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited in January(winter) so not much to see but worth a visit. Nice view of the sea and coastline. We had a rental car so was easy access. Not sure I would pay for a taxi to visit unless you really love lighthouses.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sweet and simple, would be great off season when there are less lemmings about!
The walk from the car park is not far and no trouble, but I expect it gets super busy at times. the terrain is a little rocky and uneven so bear this in mind when visiting. Other that that, a great spot to watch a sunset, capture some photos and ramble around the peninsula.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely views of the edge of Santorini from this lighthouse.
It’s a bit remote and definitely one of those places you need to watch your step. Pretty steep fall if you’re not careful and then you really get a close up view of the sea!
Wasn’t much of a rush when we visited and I’d recommend a trip here

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful sunset and interesting place. A different crowd here than in Oia. Mostly couples. Super quiet and almost sacred as people wait for the sun to drop. As the last pin-dot of light disappeared, the crowd broke into applause.
There’s a little snack shack nearby where you can buy drinks and food.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing sunset view, and a panorama of the southern tip of the island!
Crowds during sunset time. There is a canteen nearby in case you want to grab something and bring over to the rocks.
Can be quite windy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great viewpoint! Parking is just 100m down the road and easy walk up the hill to view the lighthouse. There was also a little snack caravan (we didn’t get anything).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful views from the lighthouse! We went during off-season, almost no one there, so got the place almost all to ourselves. There is a lovely family who owns a little roadside eatery near the lighthouse - amazing fruit smoothies & handmade hot dogs that were huge & delicious!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazingly breathtaking views, but be careful as the roads are winding and bend if you're driving there yourself. It's windy too - even if the sun is blazing hot. The footpath is a little rough however, there is a small family run drink station before taking the route where they sell fresh juice and other drinks with great views. Just sit there and take in the views and the sunset is amazing if you wait till then. You can't go in to the lighthouse.
