Its story
The Kerempe Lighthouse was built in 1885 in the Ottoman period by Michel Pasha. The structure, consisting of a round masonry tower and a four-room keeper's lodging, stands about 82 meters above sea level, and its light can be seen from 20 nautical miles away. Over time the lighthouse was renewed to run on petroleum, butane gas and electricity. The structure, protected as national heritage, is also mentioned in Nâzım Hikmet's Epic of the War of Independence. From the cape's sheer cliffs the open horizon of the Black Sea can be viewed.
