The lighthouse is located on the southern side of Salamina, in Kochi or Kokki, between the resorts of Peristeria and Kolones. The complex was constructed in the early 20th century and first operated in 1901. It consists of a 134.75 m² building, with an 11m-high tower located in the center, crowned by a metal cage. The lighthouse had suffered extensive damage due to the age of the building, lack of maintenance, and its proximity to the sea.
The restoration is based on three principles: respecting and highlighting the typological and morphological characteristics of the listed building, ensuring the monument’s durability over time, and facilitating the possibility of its reuse. In this direction, construction and electromechanical restoration works of the lighthouse were carried out, including the upgrade of the surrounding area; connection to the power grid was provided anew, and signs were installed, while print and electronic material was created for information and publicity regarding the monument.
