| The
Venician lighthouse is situated in the old harbour at Chania 37 km away
from Aloni Villa. From the original Venician lighthouse which dominated
the entrance of the harbour, only the base survives today, built with
the same sandstone as the Walls. The present light-house, rebuilt during
the Egyptian occupation (1821-1841), is different from the original
and is rather reminiscent of a minaret, as regards its shape and the
inside stone staircase leading to the balcony and the glass tower.
A
very distinctive area of the Old Town is the harbour itself and generally
the seafront ("akti"). Akti Tompazi, Akti Kountouriotou and
Akti Enoseos (marina) all feature several historical buildings and a
thriving nightlife.
