Its story
The Gerze Lighthouse is on Köşk Burnu (Cape Köşk), which extends into the sea from the district, and was built in 1943 by engineer Ali Senar. The lighthouse, 6 meters above the ground and 15 meters above the sea, is one of the lighthouses of the General Directorate of Coastal Safety. The area around the cape is a popular spot for coastal walks in Gerze, and views of the district stretching along the coast on both sides can be enjoyed. On a short trip to Gerze, about 34 km from Sinop by road, it can be seen together with the harbor and the bazaar.
