Lighthouse of Chania

The first beacon was worked around the late sixteenth century to secure the harbor. A chain could be associated from the base of the beacon to the post of Firkas in oder to close the harbor. Amid the Turkish occupation the beacon fell into dilapidation and was in the long run revamped somewhere in the range of 1824 and 1832 as a minaret. The cutting edge beacon is regularly alluded to as ' Egyptian' since it was worked amid a period where Crete was possessed by Egyptian troops who were supporting the debilitating Ottoman Empire against the rebelious Cretans.

The base of the beacon is as yet the first Venetian base in spite of the fact that the Lion of St. Marc which was cut there has long gone. The 'Egyptian' beacon was inclining severely because of bombings amid WWII and quakes yet it was broadly remodeled in 2005 and now looks comparable to new. The beacon is situated toward the finish of a long mole that shields the Venetian harbor from the ocean. It is well worth strolling the distance to the finish of it as you get unbelievable perspectives from the harbor. It is one of the famous place.
