Tips from locals
The lighthouse of the Venetian harbor of Rethymno is the second largest remaining Egyptian lighthouse in Crete, after the lighthouse of Chania harbor. It is built on the edge of the old sea wall of Rethymnon and it can be accessed very easily.
Punctuating the old pier in the Venetian Harbour, the 9m-high lighthouse was built in the 1830s when Egypt ruled Crete until forced by the British to give it back to the Turks in 1840.
