Greece Aspropounta Lighthouse
Standing proudly on the island’s western edge, the Aspropounta Lighthouse overlooks the endless Aegean, offering one of the most spectacular views in the Cyclades. Built in the early 20th century, it sits atop rugged cliffs that glow golden in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the deep blue sea below.
It’s worth visiting for its breathtaking sunsets, peaceful isolation, and the panoramic views that capture the wild beauty of Folegandros. Whether you hike up from Livadaki or approach it by boat, it’s a spot that perfectly embodies the island’s untamed charm and timeless serenity.

Photography Tips
Shoot at golden hour for warm tones and rich contrasts. Use a polarizing filter to deepen sky and sea colours, and bring a tripod for sunset shots. Frame the lighthouse with the rugged cliffs for impact, and pack light for the hike.
