Venetian lighthouse

The Venetian Lighthouse of Chania stands at the entrance of the Old Venetian Harbour, originally built by the Venetians at the end of the 16th century and later rebuilt in its current form by Egyptian engineers in the 19th century. Its ancient Venetian base remains, making it one of the Mediterranean’s oldest lighthouses still visible today. The lighthouse is a signature symbol of Chania — beautifully photographed with the harbour, sea, and mountains as backdrop, and is a must‑see for visitors exploring the historic port
