Lighthouse of Chania

Very nice lighthouse. There is a short walk to get to the lighthouse, you walk by the wall on the one side, and sea on the other. I went there when it was quite hot, maybe you should visit early in the day, or late in the day. Access to the lighthouse at the end is locked, but you have a nice view on the city of Chania and onto the sea.

The lighthouse is so beautiful!! Built in the late 1800s, the site has been preserved and maintained and is now a great tourist attraction. Would 10/10 recommend visiting at dusk to see the sunset on the village! The lighting is incredible! Lots of little windows to look out and see the sunset as well!

The highlight and the reason of every walk in the old town. Great in any moment of the day or night for that matter. Even better when going to the Sea and come back to the harbor.

Nice enough for a spot of lunch or a glass of wine. Maybe a quick walk around the town. 15min on top of lunch is plenty if you eat in the harbor area. Pretty much all the pics were from the table or close to. Note the blue car with no plates....! We were very lucky a kind local explained the parking rules. In short you can't park anywhere convenient, round red/blue sign is resident only. No clue how you get your plates back. The map is athe only useful parking we found.

A bit of a walk to the lighthouse, over some bumpy cobbles, but otherwise easy walk. Nice views. You can't get access to the lighthouse as it has a locked gate but can't walk up to it and stand on walls leading to it, with breathtaking views out to see and marina.

Pleasant walk to reach the lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is closed for visiting, but while walking there you may walk the walls and have a nice view either towards the open sea or towards the Venetian port. Do recommend the stroll before sunset.

Very picturesque place to visit. The sun sets right by the lighthouse, when viewed from the boardwalk. We walked the levy all the way to the lighthouse, which was enjoyable, but also tricky once the sun went down and we walked back in the dark (pavement and bricks are uneven). We did not pay to go inside the lighthouse. We had a very nice outing just walking around the area.

The lighthouse offers beautiful views and photo opportunities, but the path getting there is poorly maintained and felt unsafe. The narrow walkway sits atop a high wall with water on both sides, with no railings and broken pavement. It’s not wheelchair accessible, and I watched a family struggle to help a disabled child climb steep concrete steps while carrying the wheelchair. Many visitors had to turn back. Scenic but unsafe and inaccessible for many.
