Chania Lighthouse, Crete, Greece
First built in the 16th century when Crete was under
Venetian occupation, the Chania Lighthouse that we can see today was rebuilt in
1838 when Crete was occupied by Egyptian troops who were supporting the Ottoman
Empire. Located at the end of a long, narrow pier, with its characteristic
minaret and illuminated tower, the lighthouse casts a stunning silhouette
against the sunset.
