Originally constructed by the Venetians in the late 16th century and later restored by the Egyptians in the 19th century, the lighthouse stands as a testament to the area's diverse cultural influences. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the harbor, take in the stunning views of the Aegean Sea, explore the nearby Maritime Museum, and savor local Cretan cuisine at the charming waterfront tavernas.
