The impressive Tourlitis lighthouse  located at the entrance of the port of Chora on the Greek island of Andros.

This lighthouse was built in 1887. The height of its cylindrical tower is 7 meters and its focal height is 36 meters. It is located directly opposite the Venetian castle in the capital of Andros in Chora on a narrow stone cliff, surrounded by the Aegean Sea. It is the only lighthouse built on a rock in the sea in Greece.
The Tourlitis Lighthouse has become a stamp and is part of the “Lighthouses of Greece” stamp series of the Hellenic Post Office.
A travel website included Tourlitis Lighthouse  among the nine lighthouses of unique beauty worldwide.
