Because Croatia is chock-a-block with lighthouses, I returned there this week. I've already seen another one for next week, too.
The Sušac lighthouse has a very prominent siting, and you can stay in the lighthouse on vacation. Just be careful when you walk out the front door for a mornings stroll.
Description, excerpted from the Lighthouse Directory:
"1878. Active; focal plane 94 m (308 ft); two white flashes every 15 s. 20 m (66 ft) square cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery centered on a 2-story stone keeper's house. Lighthouse is unpainted white stone, lantern painted white. Sušac (formerly called Cazza) is a rugged, uninhabited island about 20 km (13 mi) west of Lastovo and a similar distance southwest of Korčula. Located on heights at the southwestern end of the island."First the maps: a map of Croatia, and then a lighthouse-locator map with a few other names and places with lighthouses. The maps are followed by three pictures.
