O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Toranj je visok 36 metara i stoji na brdu s pogledom i na luku ribarskog sela i na otvoreno Arapsko more, sa 144 stepenice do lanternice. Svjetionik je upaljen 1972., ali stijene ispod primale su brodove već prije otprilike dvije tisuće godina.
Istaknuto: Pogled s vrha pruža se od lučnog pijeska plaže Kovalam na istoku do šarenih ribarskih čamaca stare luke na zapadu, panorame koja se neprestano mijenja dok se svjetlo kreće. Svjetiljka sja 26 nautičkih milja u more, a kad padne večer lako je naslutiti vatre koje su čuvari nekoć palili na istoj stijeni prije tisućama godina.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear comfortable shoes and preferably long trousers, the spiral staircase is narrow and steep.
- Photograph from the lawn below with the tower against the sea, and take the top for evening light over the coastline.
- Avoid the middle of the day when the heat and haze make visibility poor from the viewing platform.
- Combine the visit with a walk out onto the fishing harbor pier to see the day's catch coming in.
