Argostoli, Greece
Lighthouse of Saint Theodoroi 

A stately Doric building that stands solitarily in the vast wilderness.

Located at the tip of a peninsula, you may not recognise the Lighthouse of Saint Theodoroi as a lighthouse at first glance. Unlike the archetypal slender red-and-white lighthouses that spiral into the sky, the Lighthouse of Saint Theodoroi is a stubby two storey building that exudes a quiet splendour. Its smooth all-cream surface lends a cohesive minimalist look that complements the elegance of the slender pillars supporting the lighthouse’s round structure.


At sunset, the breath-taking chiaroscuro of the twilight rays streaking through the pillars transports the place into another dimension. A vantage point for a picture-perfect sunset, many have taken Instagram-worthy shots here. A hot favourite for wedding photos, the lighthouse is undeniably key to the picture-perfect shot. Overlooking the calm blue sea, this is the ideal spot for a romantic proposal, or simply for a respite from modern stresses.
