Lighthouse of the Week, March 26 - April 1, 2023: Gjiri Sarandës, Albania

 

Small in stature and light on details, this is the first Albanian lighthouse I've featured.  The story, such as it is, is below.   At least I can show you where it is.  It's basically across the Adriatic Sea from the bootheel of Italy, which happens to be a place called the Strait of Otranto.

The short entry from the Lighthouse Directory is below.

"2010. Active; focal plane 215 m (705 ft); three white flashes every 30 s. 8 m (26 ft) round cylindrical rubblestone tower with an aluminum lantern. ... Located on the heights above Sarandë (Saranda), a port and tourist center facing the north end of the Greek island of Kérkyra (Corfu)."

And here's what it looks like.  It's so cute.
