Sunset at Akrotiri Lighthouse. Pure magic.

Today, I want to take you on a journey to the stunning Akrotiri Lighthouse on the Greek island of Santorini.

You may have heard it referred to as the Faros Lighthouse, but don't worry, it's the same place. Faros (Φάρος) is the Greek word for a lighthouse.

Akrotiri Lighthouse is located on the southernmost tip of Santorini, in a town called Akrotiri (surprise, surprise). It was built in 1892, and since then, it has guided sailors safely through the treacherous waters of the Aegean Sea.

Now, you may be wondering why a lighthouse was necessary in the first place. Well, back in the day (and by "the day", I mean the late 1800s), ships relied on the stars to navigate the sea. But when the skies were cloudy or stormy, it made it nearly impossible for sailors to find their way. That's where lighthouses came in. They were built to guide ships with a bright, shining light that could be seen from miles away.

The construction of Akrotiri Lighthouse took two years and was finally completed in 1892. At the time, it was a state-of-the-art lighthouse with a rotating lens that could project light up to 22 nautical miles away.

Over the years, Akrotiri Lighthouse has seen its fair share of history. During World War II, the Germans occupied Santorini and used the lighthouse as an observation point. And in 1956, a massive earthquake struck the island and damaged the lighthouse so severely that it had to be rebuilt entirely.

But despite this, Akrotiri Lighthouse still stands tall today, guiding ships safely through the Aegean Sea. And let me tell you, it is absolutely worth a visit.

The lighthouse is a beautiful, white structure perched atop a sea cliff. You can see the crystal-clear waters and the surrounding cliffs and islands from there. It's truly a breathtaking sight.

But here's a pro tip: if you want the ultimate experience, visit the lighthouse at sunset. The view of the sun setting over the sea is magical. And as the sun dips below the horizon, the lighthouse's light begins to shine, creating a stunning contrast between light and dark.

Hi all, recently i visited in nairobi and my nairobi trip was so amazing and memorable, Embracing Nairobi was a sensory delight, where vibrant markets echoed with the rhythm of city life. From the captivating wildlife at Nairobi National Park to the eclectic Maasai Market, every moment immersed me in the city's rich culture. Nairobi's warmth and diversity made my travel experience truly unforgettable.

Wow. Needed to reshare this: Richard Lasher, a Boeing employee at the Frederickson Plant, was on his way to ride his dirt bike around Spirit Lake when the mountain erupted in front of him.
