Lighthouses have populated Greek waters since the 15th century. Today there is a legendary network of 1000 structures on 15000 kilometers of coastline. "Akra Fanari" in Spetses is one of the oldest lighthouses in modern-day Greece. It sits at the edge of the "Old Port" and was established in 1831. The original tower's lamps probably were illuminated with olive oil but whale oil also may have been used. The tower was rebuilt in 1885 and equipped with a kerosene beacon.
