💡 Tips for Visitors

Access requires a 20-minute ferry ride from Kada Port (cash only for ferry tickets). The island has limited facilities and no English signage, so download maps beforehand and bring water and snacks. Visit during spring or autumn for the best weather, and allow 2-3 hours to explore both the lighthouse area and the famous battery ruins.
