The lighthouse was built by the Venetians in the late 16th century. It is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world. It is 21 meters high and its light stretches a distance of seven miles. Built on a natural rock, it initially functioned as an open-flame torch.

The old Venetian harbor of Chania is beautiful, although it is now full of tourist shops. The construction was completed in 1356 AD and served the trade of the Venetians. In the 16th century a fortification project is built. Nevertheless, it was left to its own devices during the period of Turkish rule. Lots of historical landmarks and of course the lighthouse that dominates its entrance. It's worth walking around and admiring the colorful buildings

The old lighthouse is really impressive, located in the center of the harbor entrance and can be reached via a pier.

The architecture is reminiscent of a minaret; in its current form, the tower was built under the Egyptian occupation of Crete.
