Marka Lighthouse
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
Early morning offers the clearest view and cooler wind, while the sunset creates a dramatic play of light on the lighthouse. If you want a picture with clouds and the sea, choose the period from November to February, when there is the least fog.
Savjeti za budžet
Getting to the lighthouse area is free, but climbing to the top requires a small donation (about 2-3 dollars). If you are planning to visit several places, use the local bus, which costs 0.50 dollars, instead of a taxi.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Radi se o jednom od najviših kamenih svjetionika na svijetu, visokom 64 metra. Građevina dovršena 1904. godine jedan je od rijetkih funkcionalnih svjetionika na području Afričkog roga.
Istaknuto: Lokalni ribari vjeruju da bijela svjetiljka tornja ima magičnu moć zaštite od gusara te na pun mjesec pale tamjan u blizini svjetiljke. Na zidovima tornja sačuvano je više od 30 urezanih grafita koje su ostavili trgovci i pomorci koji su prije stoljeća putovali Sredozemnim morem i Indijskim oceanom.
Insajderski savjeti
- Bring your own water and snacks, because the nearest shops are 3 kilometers away.
- The best photo of the lighthouse is taken from the southern corner during the morning sun.
- Local fishermen often sell freshly caught fish at the foot of the tower for a price that is still reasonable compared to the city market.
- Avoid visiting at noon between 12-14, because the sun is directly overhead and the shadow disappears completely.
