Marka Lighthouse
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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 znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: To je ena najvišjih kamnitih svetilnikov na svetu, katerih višina dosega 64 metrov. Stavba, dokončana leta 1904, je eden redkih še delujočih svetilnikov v območju Afriškega roga.
Poudarki: Lokalni ribiči verujejo, da ima bela luč svetilnika čarobno moč varovati jih pred morskimi gusarji, zato ob polni luni prižigejo v bližini luči kadilo. Na stenah svetilnika je ohranjenih več kot 30 skalnih vrezov, ki so jih pustili trgovci in mornarji, ki so čez stoleča popotovali po Sredozemskem morju in Indijskem oceanu.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
