The Lighthouse of Dukato is ideally located in Cape Kavos , this is the most southerly point on the island of Lefkada. The lighthouse was built in 1890 on this white limestone cliff. The height of the tower is 14 metres and the focal height of 70 metres. It has an altitude of 4.5 meters. The lighthouse is the most popular Scuba Diving center in Lefkada, which has a depth of 40 meters and visibility of 30 meters.



The views from the lighthouse are stunning with breathtaking scenic beauty of Ithaca and Kefalonia.



Kavos Kiras is located at the southwestern tip of Lefkada at the end of a long until recently unpaved, but now paved road. According to legend, the poetess Sappho leaped to her death from this cliff around 580 BC, following her unrequited love for Faonas (Phaon). By this time, the Cape was sacred to Apollo, protector of the seafarer, god of purification and healing. On the site of the ancient temple stands the church of St Nicholas (17th c.). Unfortunately, visitors can not find any vestiges of the Apollo temple, because at this very place soars the lighthouse.
