The highest lighthouse on Turkey's coasts, at the southern tip of the Teke Peninsula overlooking the Beş Adalar.

Safety warning

The path is shadeless and stony; carry plenty of water and do not walk at midday in summer.

Its story

Also known as the Taşlıkburnu Lighthouse, the lighthouse was built on Cape Gelidonya in 1936. Since mains electricity and water do not reach it, it gets its power from solar panels and its water from rain cisterns. The lighthouse cannot be reached by vehicle; you walk via the Lycian Way or the path from the park entrance. The Beş Adalar (Five Islands) off the cape mark the boundary between the gulfs of Antalya and Finike, and the area is famous for its ancient shipwrecks.
