Prasonisi

This guide to Prasonisi in Rhodes opens in 1890 with a French crew hauling stone up a windswept bluff to build a lighthouse, and follows its working life through a wartime blackout, a 1947 relighting, and its eventual switch to solar power. You'll hear how the keeper's house still stands empty beside the tower, and how the sandy tombolo below it changes with the seasons. It closes on the two seas meeting at your feet, one choppy, one calm.
