• Lighthouse of Chania - The Chania Lighthouse, the oldest in the Mediterranean, was built in 1864 and stands as the main landmark of Chania. The 21-meter high tower, set on a stone base, is located at the end of the old harbor’s pier, opposite the Firkas Fortress. Entry is not permitted. Originally constructed by the Venetians around 1600, it was destroyed during the siege of Chania and later took its final form, resembling a minaret, 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 guard the Venetian harbor entrance from raiders. After Chania fell to the Turks in 1645, it was renamed “Firka,” meaning “barrack” in Turkish. The northern side housed six consecutive 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 seat of the military governor 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 fortress entrance.
• Venetian Neoria - During the Venetian occupation (1204-1669), the Neoria shipyards were constructed. In 1467, Venice commissioned the building of 16 shipyards. During the Turkish occupation, these were converted into military warehouses. Today, seven shipyards remain, though entry is not permitted.
