The first Lighthouse of the Week from Crete I'm featuring is either named Drepano or Drepan. It's small but cute. The Crete Lighthouses R' Us Web site provides this information:
latitude 35° 28' 23.6" N longitude 24° 14' 28.6" E
The original lighthouse was destroyed by German troops during World War II, but the present lighthouse is a copy. Ákra Drépano is on the south side of the entrance to Soúda Bay, an important NATO naval base.
And it even has it's own Web site, with both pictures and map!
Lighthouse Drepano
Here's three pictures. Note the Greek flag in the fourth one. It has a small but fancy stone tower.
