The Lighthouse, Anapa

4.2
#2 of 10 in Sightseeing in Anapa
Pier / Boardwalk Tourist Spot
Sitting atop a steep seaside hill, The Lighthouse shines red light visible from a distance of up to 30 km (18.5 mi). This bulky black-and-gray structure features a simple octagonal shape that resembles a toy, making it one of the most popular lighthouses in the area. Snap a photo of the 21 m (69 ft) structure and take in the views of the open sea surrounding it. Since its creation in 1955, the lighthouse has become a favorite meeting spot for locals and tourists alike. The Lighthouse is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our online itinerary creator, Anapa Edition.

  • Very nice. I'd like to visit it but it's ever close. Nobody speak in english. I'll try again because i'd like to see the lens.  more »
  • In one of the reviews I have read about the wonderful form with the top platform of the lighthouse. Unfortunately, the Lighthouse is closed to public access. Beacon running evening it shines, it is visible from afar.

  • Absolutely no wonder that on Central promenade promenade have preserved this object. The Lighthouse is in perfect condition, but due to its location on the cliff with its observation deck offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area.

  • Cote d'Azur, caressing rays of Sun tickle the Oktyabrsky face. Nice sea air fills your lungs. All very harmoniously. It is worth to visit!

  • Excellent walk from the city centre to the lighthouse and even further. Look chic, long walk. In this part of the promenade is very quiet, no annoying shutov, photographers and hucksters. Photo from there.

  • The place is beautiful. On the one hand the old closed cemetery, on the other hand from the lighthouse-a beautiful promenade.
