Ο Φάρος της Αλεξανδρούπολης κατασκευάστηκε το 1850 από τη γαλλική Εταιρία Φάρων και Φανών της Μεσογείου κατόπιν σύμβασης με την τότε τουρκική κυβέρνηση. Χτίστηκε στο σημερινό λιμάνι της πόλης ,αποσκοπώντας στη διευκόλυνση της ακτοπλοΐας και της πελαγοδρομίας για τους ντόπιους ναυτικούς και ναυτιλλομένους που ταξίδευαν στην περιοχή του Ελλήσποντου. Είναι τοποθετημένος στη δυτική πλευρά του λιμανιού και εδράζεται πάνω σε ένα κυλινδρικό βάθρο που απέχει 27 μέτρα (εστιακό ύψος) από τον θαλάσσιο πυθμένα . Αποτελεί έναν από τους ψηλότερους φάρους της Ελλάδας, μιας και το ύψος του αγγίζει τα 18 μέτρα, διαθέτει 98 εσωτερικά σκαλοπάτια που οδηγούν στο θάλαμο του φανού ενώ το πάνω μέρος του είναι ελασμάτινο με 10 σειρές υαλοπινάκων. Γύρω από τον φανό, στην κορυφή του Φάρου της Αλεξανδρούπολης, περιστρέφεται ένας κοίλος καθρέφτης που στέλνει το φως στα τοποθετημένα γύρω του πρίσματα – μια διαδικασία που γινόταν με βάση τα αντίβαρα και τις τροχαλίες που φρόντιζε ο φαροφύλακας για πολλά χρόνια. Σε 6 ενδιάμεσα σημεία του κλιμακοστασίου υπάρχουν έξι πλατύσκαλα και έξι παράθυρα που χρησιμεύουν στην εσωτερική φωταγώγηση του κτηρίου. Το στίγμα του είναι 40ο 50΄ 07 ΄΄ Βόρειο, 25ο 52΄ 05΄΄ Ανατολικό. Ξεχωριστό χαρακτηριστικό του Φάρου της Αλεξανδρούπολης αποτελεί η φωτεινή του δέσμη καθώς σημειώνει τρεις λευκές αναλαμπές κάθε 15 δευτερόλεπτα (0,38 + 2,12 + 0,38 + 2,12 +0,38 + 9,62 =15δ). Η φωτιστική του ορατότητα είναι δυνατή σε απόσταση 24 ναυτικών μιλίων από την ακτή (44χλμ περίπου). Tα εγκαίνια του φάρου έγιναν την 1η Ιουνίου 1880 και από τότε λειτουργεί χωρίς διακοπή σηματοδοτώντας το χαρακτηριστικό σύμβολο της πόλης της Αλεξανδρούπολης. [3] Τα πρώτα χρόνια λειτουργούσε με ασετιλίνη, μέθοδος που με την πάροδο του χρόνου αντικαταστάθηκε με αυτή του της πυράκτωσης με τη χρήση πετρελαίου. Από το 1974 μέχρι σήμερα λειτουργεί με ηλεκτρικό ρεύμα αλλά διαθέτει και εφεδρικές φιάλες με ασετιλίνη για έκτακτες περιπτώσεις διακοπής της ηλεκτροδότησης. Επισκευές και μετασκευές στην κτιριακή υποδομή του φάρου έγιναν το 1946 και το 1955. Το 2002 αντικαταστάθηκε ο ηλεκτρολογικός του εξοπλισμός με έναν πιο πρόσφατης τεχνολογίας.

Слънчев Александруполис ( или наричан още Дедеагач) - съчетава всичко, необходимо за идеалното ни прекарване тук. Смесица от нови, модерни сгради и орнаменти от 19 и началото на 20 век, интересни музеи, красиви църкви и манастири, зеленина и прекрасна крайбрежна алея, безкрайна плажна ивица, безброй магазинчета и ароматни таверни и кафенета.... Някога рибарско селище, а сега по проект на руски военни инженери - модерен град, истинска перла на Тракийско море, град, съчетал спомена за далечното минало с красотата на днешния ден! Дедеагач е един от най-младите градове в Гърция. Въпреки това, районът наоколо има богато историческо минало, тъй като на негово място е бил древният град Сали, споменат още от Херодот. В близост се намират и античната Месимврия, римският Траянуполис и византийската Вира. Градът се наричал „Дедеагац“, което на турски означава „дядово дърво“. Легендата разказва, че мъдър дервиш прекарал по-голямата част от живота си в сянката на местно дърво, където й в крайна сметка бил погребан до него. В края на Първата световна война е присъединен към Гърция. Малко по-късно, със смъртта на гръцкия крал Александър I е преименуван на Дедеагач в негова чест. Име, което запазва и до днес. Внушителният фар е една от знаковите забележителности на Александруполис, той е построен през 1850 г. от френската Mediterranean Lighthouse Company, след договор с тогавашното турско правителство. Всъщност той е най-големият в цяла Европа! В същото време е й място за срещи на местни жители и туристи и е символ на града.

TÜRKÇE Dedeağaç gibi denize komşu bir şehirde yapılabilecek en iyi şey sahil boyunca yürümek ve ciğerlerinizi masmavi denizin iyot kokusuyla doldurmak. Ben de öyle yapıp Dedeağaç’ı keşfetmeye sahilden başladım. Sahile iner inmez de ilk gördüğüm şehrin sembolü olan Dedeağaç Deniz Feneri oldu. 1850 yılında Fransız bir şirket tarafından inşa edilmiş ve 1880 yılında faaliyete geçmiş olan deniz feneri 40 km uzaklıktaki gemiler tarafından bile görülüyormuş. Bembeyaz olan fenerin tepe kısmı ise yeşil. Halen aktif olan deniz feneri şehrin sembolü olduğu için şehri ziyaret eden her turistin bu fener önünde mutlaka bir fotoğrafı vardır. Dedeağaç hakkında daha fazlası için bloguma göz atabilirsiniz. ENGLISH The best thing to do in a city neighboring the sea like Alexandroupolis is to walk along the coast and fill your lungs with the iodine smell of the deep blue sea. That's what I did and started exploring Alexandroupolis from the coast. As soon as I got down to the coast, the first thing I saw was the Alexandroupolis Lighthouse, the symbol of the city. Built by a French company in 1850 and put into operation in 1880, the lighthouse was visible even to ships 40 km away. The top of the snow-white lighthouse is green. Since the lighthouse, which is still active, is the symbol of the city, every tourist visiting the city has a photo in front of it. For more about Alexandroupolis you can visit my blog.

A beautiful place with a bike path and a very good view. The lighthouse continues to operate today. It is one of the tallest lighthouses in Greece, since its height reaches 18 meters, it has 98 internal steps that lead to the lamp chamber while the upper part of it is laminated with10 rows of glass panes. Its lighting visibility is possible at a distance of 24 nautical miles from the coast (about 44km)

There is a very wide sidewalk along the sea, which is a few kilometers long. It is full of tables from restaurants and coffee shops, it has much space for cycling or walking. The view is amazing, especially at sunset. Visit TripAdvisor to find the best restaurants, which have both greek and eastern cuisine.

Great atmosphere, if you take a walk in the area at dusk. We had some extra dark chocolate ice cream from an ice cream shop called "I love Gelato" and took a stroll along the sidewalk nearby the lighthouse. The place is simply full of life during the summer months!
