The lighthouse is a distinctive feature of the harbour. It was built at the harbour entrance by the Venetians and restored in its present form by the Egyptians (1830-1840). The lighthouse of the Venetian harbour of Chania always fascinates visitors and is one of the most-photographed monuments in Crete.

Chania photos
Welcome to Chania, a beautiful and picturesque city with reminders of the past at every corner. It is divided into two parts: The New Town which is where the day to day business of the Chania goes on, and the Old Town, built around the Venetian harbour with numerous pedestrian narrow streets and architecture showing the influence of decades of foreign domination.See more photos of Chania.
