Its story

The Amasra Lighthouse is in the Boztepe neighborhood and was built in 1863 by the French-born Michel Pasha. The lighthouse, 9 meters high above the ground, stands 78 meters above the sea thanks to the island's steep slope. It is among the lighthouses of the Directorate General of Coastal Safety. From the road climbing to Boztepe and the viewpoints around it, Amasra's two bays and its castle are seen from a bird's-eye view.
