This nice, still active lighthouse was established by the Ottoman government in 1864. The lighthouse has focal plane 20 m, three white flashes every 15 s on the octagonal stone tower 8 m high with lantern and gallery, attached to one corner of a keeper's house. The tower is unpainted and lantern white-painted. The lighthouse was renovated in 2005.
You can easily find the site on a promontory at Kiti village, about 12 km south of Larnaca city. Locality is free accessible but tower is closed for visitors...
