Light House "Agion Theodoron"

Just out side of Lassi along the back road toward Argostoli, can be found the Fanari light house called ‘Aghia Theodori’. Located 3 km away from Argostoli it is visible from the boats that operate from Argostoli across to Lixouri. The lighthouse was built in the early 19th century when the island was under the command of Charles Napier, and it was deemed necessary for navigation. It is a circular building with twenty columns housed in a small tower. In 1953, the year of the earthquake the lighthouse was destroyed and it was rebuilt in 1964 under the original plans. The view from the Fanari is magnificent as from the front you can see across to the Palikis Peninsular and the island of Vardianon.
