Lighthouse of Chania

Beautiful landmark that is totally worthy of a closer look after a short walk around the old port with its beautiful corners and shops that show up between its historical buildings. Also, the walk offers a great view of the sea and there benches for stops.

The Chania Lighthouse is an absolute must-see! It’s an easy, enjoyable walk with gorgeous views every step of the way. Once you reach the lighthouse, you’re rewarded with one of the best perspectives of the old port—truly stunning and perfect for photos. A beautiful, peaceful spot that adds so much charm to Chania. Highly recommend!

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.

It was a little bit of a walk, but definitely worth it. The sunset was stunning, and once the sun went down, the lights from Chania made it truly magical. A beautiful spot, perfect for pictures, especially in the evening.

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.
