Bouzas Lighthouse
The Bouzas Lighthouse, also known as the Lighthouse of Bouza, is a historic maritime beacon located just 2 kilometers from the center of Aegina Town, in the Khloi area. Built in 1881, this 9-meter-high stone lighthouse was declared a monument of modern Greek history in 2020. It played a crucial role in the lighthouse network that facilitated navigation in the Argo-Saronic Gulf during the 19th century. The lighthouse is named after its last keeper, whose father was nicknamed “Bouzas”. Today, it stands as a symbol of the island’s nautical heritage and is a popular spot for romantic walks, especially at sunset or under a starry night
