Military Tourism, as an activity of thematic forms, integrated in the development planning of tourism in the country, can be a particularly dynamic sector of tourism that has a significant contribution to both the economic development of the country and the promotion of its rich history and culture.

The War Museum has been designated as the “Coordinating and Implementing Agency” of a cooperation between the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Tourism.

Greece has a number of military sites throughout the country, such as museums, collections of movable monuments and relics, immovable monuments, lighthouses and installations, as well as sites throughout the country, where important war events (battles, naval battles, conflicts, etc.) have taken place.

According to the official website of the Lighthouse Service, the lighthouses are under the jurisdiction of the Naval Lighthouse Service.

They are governed by regulations relating to military installations and other specific regulations relating to the safety of navigation. Several of the stone lighthouses have been classified as modern monuments by the competent authorities of the Ministry of Culture.

Visiting a stone lighthouse in the Greek territory is possible only after a special permit has been granted to the visitors concerned.
