Lighthouses have always fascinated me, and I am always delighted to write about them. Grafted by the saltwater of the sea, they pierce the darkness with their unwavering beams of light, guiding sailors and ensuring the safety of all at sea. At the same time, they are a symbol: the light that gives hope and shows us the way -in our difficulties, in our setbacks, in our “sea-weary” moments. 🗼The traditional stone lighthouses and lanterns of Greece (144 in total) are "industrial monuments" and "living museums" of maritime tradition, with some protected as historic landmarks. They serve as reference points for each island, offering ideal spots to admire the vastness of the sea, the natural landscape that surrounds them, and, quite often, a spectacular sunset. 🛳️If you share the same passion for these amazingly beautiful landmarks, check out my newly published article at Libro di Levante (Levante Ferries’ official magazine) about the unique lighthouses perched on the rocky edges of three picturesque islands in the Ionian Sea: Zakynthos, Ithaca, and Kefalonia. Always thankful to collaborate with Thanasis Toloudis and Nikos Vatsitsis –and inspired by their continuous creativity!

LANGUEDOC CASTLES Château de Quéribus The Château de Quéribus (in Occitan, Castèl de Queribús) is a ruined castle in the commune of Cucugnan in the Aude département of France. It has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1907. Queribus is one of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne", along with Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Termes and Puilaurens: five castles strategically placed to defend the French border against the Spanish, until the border was moved in 1659. It is sometimes regarded as the last Cathar stronghold. After the fall of Montségur in 1244, surviving Cathars gathered together in another mountain-top stronghold on the border of Aragon (the present border between the Aude and the Pyrénées-Orientales). In 1255, a French army was dispatched to deal with these remaining Cathars, but they slipped away without a fight, probably to Aragon or Piedmont - both regions where Cathar beliefs were still common, and where the Occitan language was spoken. Quéribus is high and isolated. It stands on top of the highest peak for kilometres around. In 1951, restoration work on the turret began and, between 1998 and 2002, a complete restoration of the castle was undertaken. The castle is now accessible to visitors. It is at coordinates 42°50′11″N 2°37′16″E and an altitude of 728 metres (2,388 ft). The nearest village is Maury, Pyrénées-Orientales. More at Wikipedia
