• Lighthouse of Chania - The Chania lighthouse, the oldest in the Mediterranean, was built in 1864. It stands as Chania’s main landmark, with a 21m high tower on a stone base at the old harbor’s pier, opposite the Firkas Fortress. Visitors cannot enter the lighthouse. Originally constructed by the Venetians around 1600, it was destroyed during the siege of Chania and took its final minaret shape during the Egyptian occupation. It was restored in 1996.
• Firkas Fortress - Located on the northwest side of Chania’s port, the Firkas Fortress was built between 1610 and 1645 to protect the Venetian harbor from raiders. After Chania fell to the Turks in 1645, it was renamed “Firka,” meaning “barrack” in Turkish. The northern side housed six domes for large cannons to defend the harbor entrance. The fortress served as a prison until the Greek civil war in the 20th century and was the military governor’s seat during Ottoman rule. It is where the Greek flag was raised in 1913, marking Crete’s reunion with Greece. The Maritime Museum is now located at the entrance.
• Venetian Neoria - During the Venetian occupation (1204-1669), the Neoria shipyards were constructed. In 1467, Venice commissioned 16 shipyards. During the Turkish occupation, they were converted into military warehouses. Today, 7 shipyards remain, but entrance is not permitted.
